Then why they are going with total green tops?
They were no these kind of pitches in Pak-Sa series!!

To give themselves the best chance of victory.

If India face greentops all ODI series and lose but it prepares them for the tests I won't complain. You shouldn't either.

But the same people wine when we create dust bowls

I am happy with green tops, enjoyed first match looking forward for rest of the series.

 

[Jono]

Yeah there are heaps of ****s who complain about dust bowls (see Graeme Smith in 2008) but we don't have to fall to their level. We should want out players to improve in these conditions.

Well if the conditions are really that bad, SA may only need two days tbh

Well to be fair he did get dropped from the Test side based on poor ODI results. That's not to say he shouldn't have been dropped years before based on his poor Test results, but that's what happened. He played 0 Tests between those articles written about how he enjoys being the spearhead and getting dropped.

Genuinely moving words there from AB about Mandela. Great stuff.

 

[kingpin]

Pitch miraculously changed, moisture dried up

 

[Jono]

Was Robin Jackman fake-sleeping there or was he actually just listening with his eyes closed? If so, what was with the head back?

Dodgy.

 

[nsniks]

Umesh and Ishant playing

Will Yuvraj be part of India's squad to Australia/NZ for the World Cup?
