india will make 500 runs on a a flat pitch..and they wont even cross 200 wen they bat on bouncy pitch or green top pitches...they shud encourage more green top pitches and bouncy pitches...we cant just always produce spinning tracks and flat tracks...if we continue playing on this pitches..we wont have any chance winning test series in australia,south africa,newzland..
indian team shud exposed to all kind of pitches.so they can adjust easily wen they go abroad

its not important whether india plays to their strength of spinners or not. issue is different. ok v play on spinner friendly pitches here. but wud u take performances of players on such pitches as a yardstick for selecting the team to ausi. the problem is much serius bcoz selectors r going to select the team for ausi on performances of players in the dead turners of ind pitches. if v dont want to lose in ind, then better select team for ind and ausi on different criterias. ie select sub-continent players for ind matches and select genuine batsman for ausi matches.

if jaffer hits a double century on this turning wicket..he wud definately be selected for the test series in australia..but u cant gurantee that jaffer will hit century or a double century on bouncy pitches..in australia ....indian batsmen footwork and technique will be exposed in australia...same thing happened b4 in 2003..india cudnt win a test series in newzland ..becoz they cudnt play on a grassy pitch...they were used to turning pitches and flat pitches...
