sscomp32 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) A test and an ODI both in Ranchi. Just cant wait for the home season. Also the D/N test will be most probably in Kolkata. Edited June 9, 2016 by sscomp32 tweaker 1

Mosher Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 Test match at Dharamsala would be great to watch. Is it the first test match to be held there? tweaker 1

Test cricket isn't appreciated beyond Tier 1 centers.. Don't want to sound skeptical, but I still remember poor crowd turn out pissed off BCCI and players when an England Test happened in Nagpur. Really doubt if Test cricket will be well received in centers like Rajkot and Ranchi. Edited June 9, 2016 by bowl_out tweaker 1

Yeah you need to try and see if it works. I am sure ranchi will have a good attention because the weather in feb is perfect for test match cricket. 3 hours ago, Ankit_sharma03 said: Mohali shudnt get a test match, crowd doesnt turn up there for test And still get the best matches from cricketing point of view.

Really doubt if Test cricket will be well received in centers like Rajkot and Ranchi. Even in tier 1 centers the attendance for tests in the last few years seems pretty bad. It's fun watching highlights from years ago.....india Pak series in the late 90s, the famous india Aus test series 2001....amazing crowds.
