Kaneria hits out at 'lifeless pitches' in India

[poori_meri]

http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/indvpak/content/story/325960.html I agree with kaneria. ICC should be responsible for preparing pitches. India prepared dull flat tracks to make sure they dont lose 2nd & 3rd test.

[Sachinism]

i agree with him, but kumble took plenty of wickets, so shut up and stop complaining

[Laaloo]

lol its his captains fault for losing the toss he knws dam rite he wanted to pitch when kumble was pitching him and harbhajan are both crap

[Desi Cartman]

its was combination of lifeless pitch and spineless bowling:finger:. What is he gonna do in Eng, SAF or Aus .. complain that the ball didnt turn

[Rohip]

he should look at his home pitches first

[siddhu]

he should look at his home pitches first

exactly... did he complain when Pak won the series in 06 on even worse pitches that this. now just to save his own rear he coming up with all kind of excuses. just admit Mr Cryneria.. that u suck.

IN 06 Pak cudnt prepare good wickets in lahore & faisalabad because of winter. All day we had fog & no sun shine which deprived curators for preparing good test wicket. In karachi Pak prepared a good wicket and we know wht happened. What excuse india have for preparing dead tracks other than to maintain the 1-0 lead

oh the excuses...

• our bowlers were not fit (which is always the case)
• we had a 6th string attack (which in context of point 1 makes your 1st string attack)
• our bowlers bowled crap (when do they not bowl crap)
• our batsmen "gave" away wickets (yeah its never because the opposition bowled well)
• our batsmen did not play to their full potential (do they ever..)
• the opposition prepared horrible pitches (similar pitches were prepared against SA too)
• the umpires are biased and gave all the decisions against us (most of the decisions were against India in this series and in favor of Pak)
• the whole world is biased against us (.......... add whatever u want over here)

etc.. etc.. etc... i remember Pak fans crying when they were given a lively pitch in WC-2007 against Ireland as they did not win.

Oh, I didnt know Late November and early december was blazing summer in India. And actually, Kaneria better be thankful for the dead nature of pitches or else Pakistan would have whooped 3-0. Had there been more purchase in the wicket, the Pakistani tail would have stood a chance to add the runs they did, in reply to India's massive scored in the first innings' of the 2nd and 3rd test. Besides, it was the lifeless nature of pitch that saved Pak in Kolkata in day 5. And God knows what Kaneria means when he says " the pitches played well even on day 5 in the 2nd and 3rd test", after seeing his team lose 7 wickets in 30-odd overs. The truth of the matter is, Kaneria is a mediocre spinner who has no clue how to bowl to the Indian batsman. Pity him.

....again... its our own board's fault then. Why would you select Lahore and Faisalabad as your venue when you know that its foggy around that period of time. Or Maybe PCB is operated by a non-pakistani, then its understandable :haha:

[MundaPakistani]

I was listening to his interview and it was full of excuses starting off with pitches being to flat all the way to the toss. Bottom line is that he has bowled rubbish in the last 5 test matches.

PAK did the same thing against ENG- ENG got mauled by an innings but the pitch was hideously flat.

Nanch na jaane aangan tedha....trying to hide behind pitches doesn't hide the fact that Kaneria is a big joke for a leg spinner

poori_meri...the ONLY reason you escaped a 3-0 thrashing was because of the flat pitches. Even then, if we got to bowl 2 more balls in Bangalore it would have been 2-0 ( one ball for Sami, and half a ball each for Shoaib and kaneria)
