Hell with cricket pitches in India !!!!.
Cricket pitches in India is a sorry story for good players.More often than not you will get a pitch where batsman will murder the bowlers or the spinner will take more than 15 wickets in a test match.
Is it too hard to prepare a sporting wicket??? No not at all.
Why BCCI was not able to prepare sporting wickets?
* Is it lack of experience -- No
* Is it a lack of money -- Big No
* Is it something to do with climate in India -- Minimally Yes.
* Is it lack of importance given to the pitch condition -- Partially yes.
* Is it the commercially motivated -- Big Yes.
What is the solution?
* Train the curators and make them understand how a good sporting wicket is prepared.
* BCCI should be open to introduce the sporting wickets in State Level Matches.
Recently I read an article which should help other curators too !!
