msplash9 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Ground looks terrible. Extremely unpleasant to watch. Hopefully no one will get injured just before world cupHow come the richest board in the world approve a ground like this for an International match ? chewy 1
rkt.india Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 This match is a last minute arrangement. Match wasn't supposed to be played here 2 weeks back. The ground was undergoing some work on outfield. They were putting sand to soften it.

msplash9 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 Yes. Read that. "So the ground was quite used. For an international match you need a better outfield. We had 10 days. It was a new challenge, and we have worked hard on it. It's easy to say no, but we took the challenge. And we have prepared it." They should have said no. But won't blame the groundstaff. BCCI should have monitored this and Jharkhand association should have informed BCCIThere must have been atleast 10 other grounds ready to host the match. What if Rohit had injured himself there !!
chewy Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 couldn't agree more, disgraceful outfield, at one point saw sand go into one of the SL fielders.poor stuff from BCCI in this age
jf1gp_1 Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Well they only got 2 weeks to get it ready for an international game
sandeep Posted February 12, 2016 Posted February 12, 2016 Who's responsible for approving this game at Ranchi - can't blame the groundstaff for reasons mentioned above. Someone should have held a hand up and said, conditions are not good enough to host an international game.
Adi_91 Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 The outfield looked very ordinary. This was unexpected.
BlueBee Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 I'd feel safer to dive in my backyard than on this ground. Such a poor outfield.

adi B Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Very poor stuff from the bcci,cant blame jharkand cricket association for this as they weren't prepared,bcci should have shifted the game to any other ground which was prepared
Rightarmfast Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Are you on drugs?and u got to be smoking something special not to realize Dhoni was instrumental as ranchi being a host for the games.
sandeep Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 and u got to be smoking something special not to realize Dhoni was instrumental as ranchi being a host for the games.Yeah, a playing captain has the BCCI on a string and gets to decide where games are hosted. Game hosting rights are a currency for BCCI babus to bribe/reward certain associations for voting and other support. Thats why they didn't care whether the facilities or ground conditions are good enough - it doesn't enter their equation. In short, its a completely internal dynamic with zero opportunity for players to influence. Dhoni-worshippers give him too much credit and haters are attributing too much influence to him. Its like in their minds, he's some kind of Dr. Evil type character who controls entire BCCI. Its ridiculous. Adi_91 1
zen Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 BCCI should do proper due diligence before assigning matches
