Neutral test venues

I think its time to look at this. put simply- visiting teams are simply not the least bit competitive, this goes for any visiting team to anywhere- let alone india. This current status quo- gives way to some very low quality viewing.

Note- ODI's are played in neutral venues e.g. world cups, and some triangular series depending on the sides.

They are experimenting this with only 1 test- the WTC.

Australia recently won a series in Pakistan, India have won in Australia twice, England have whitewashed SL in SL twice in a row and won in Pakistan ,NZ drew in Pakistan, SL spanked SA in SA in 2019 etc. This might literally be the most competitive era for away teams in a long time.

You are wrong and should just stfu.

Two teams have won in the India in 30 plus years. This is a farce. The other countries are not as extreme.

What the heck are you talking about? Three teams have won series in India in that time & there have been 5(6?) drawn series in that span as well. India has always been hard to defeat at home for at least 75 years, especially post 1970 with SMG inspiring multiple gen of batters!

This is literally Day 1 of a 4 Test series. England lost the First Test in 2012 (bowled out for 190 in the First Innings) and turned it around.
