Used Eden Test pitch will have 'pace and bounce'

[maniac]

^ Playing on uniform pitches is just not cricket. The beauty of test cricket is to have variety and home advantage. Plus playing conditions like climate and soil vary, so it can't be done. ICC can tell boards to prepare flat wickets everywhere, but that's no good for the game. I like the way it is.

Uniform pitches will kill test cricket.

There is no chemical formula or mathematical rule to making pitches. Even similar soiled pitches might not be similar. They will always be different even if one wants to make uniform pitches. Even pitches of same square will behave differently' date=' example T20 WC 2007, at Durban one pitch wa seaming friendly, low scoring, where matches between India-Pak and India-SA were playd, while India-England and India-Aus pitch was high scoring at the same ground.[/quote'] Guys I was being Sarcastic.....Firstly I was kinda tipsy when I wrote the comment :--D but what I meant was In the last 4-5 years or so when India was doing decently overseas,there were a lot of conspiracy theorists saying how pitches have become more conducive and flat to suit India and blah blah blah....Not that those comments were meant to be taken seriously but the fact that despite all this pitch drama,we are still sucking shows that when we were No 1 in the world we were really the best team in the world and today we suck because we suck. The last thing I want is uniform pitches

Pitch at Mumbai also had grass. Grass alone does not make a pitch bowler friendly but moisture. Grass ensures bounce like it was in Mumbai.

We are now in the eastern part ,so moisture will be there and swing too.

Dinda will bowl well mark my words. He is used to this pitch.

[Trichromatic]

As expected pitch is flat.

[Trichromatic]

Dinda will bowl well mark my words. He is used to this pitch.

But not to this opposition.

[CG]

Well grass has been taken off and This is type of pitch we have been successful on in the past and we should mostly play on good tracks not turners which are a gamble.

[Lord]

not a good wicket according to MS,who cares if we r in good position

[indiaregulator]

Yeah, I loved the "Pace and bounce" that was in this pitch. Anyway, great day for England.

They need to roll Duncan on the pitch to get the optimum flatness required for Indian batsmen..
