We keep hearing about how home-side prepares pitch that suits their bowlers. Two specific examples come up again and again; SC countries prepare bunsens/ rank-turners and places like England prepare green mambas when SC teams tour there. I am specifically interested in later example. How common are these green wickets? Which countries commonly have them? I don't remember that many specific examples other than that Lords wicket where Rahane scored hundred.
And most importantly, what is the history of these green mambas? Was there any specific time period when wickets with grass were more common?
