why bouncy wickets?
by ravi on Nov 29, 2007 02:08 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

every country at home is preparing pitches which are suited to them, Have we ever noticed South Africa, New Zealand , Australia, England preparing slow spinner freindly tracks? NEVER.
Hence there is nothing wrong in preparing slow tracks on indian grounds.

Because faster wickets = More Result oriented and batsmen friendly wickets .
After all the 20-20 was introduced to provide the audience with more sixers and fours .

I perfectly agree with you.

The nature of Indians strengths are suppose to be brain than muscle. we use our brains to spin ( or not to spin) the ball and take wickets. whereas the aussies or safricans use their muscles to hit the players. so we must always prepare pitches that suits us.

Does that mean we do not want to groom any more pace bowlers in India? What will happen to our team during their overseas tour? Will they be able to face the pace attack? I think we should prepare spin & fast tracks and give equal importance to both of them.
