Is that a pre-concieved strategy to have longer test matches or was it under the pressure of the BCCI or plain bad groundsmen?

to be honest it all came down to making the indians feel at home, that as well as some very good weather which made the wickets very flat "when the sun is out its time to bat" is a quote here in nz
