A victory at home has become cheaper and of no value because the pitches are doctored to suit Indians. They are so dead that at Calcutta and Bangalore teams effortlessly scored 600 plus.
We may lose for a few years but slowly our cricketers will get used to palying on fair pitches which are result oriented bouncy, favour pace for 3 days and then favour spin as well

Yes high time fast & boucy be introduced, great work Daljit Sir, our batsman have forgotten the most exciting strokes, the hook & pull, etc.Reason? Our present types of wickets, specially during the domestic season

lets forget batsmen for a while, what about our bowlers who toil the wholeday with hardly any result, the reason being our dead & placid wickets. we have today excellent pace bowlers and if given the right tracks they will definitely be forces to reckon with. So the whole scenerio of old fashioh cricket should change soon. Today our batsmen have forgotten to expedite the hook, pull, etc.Need of the hour, Yes, bouncy wickets.
