‘Former Players Have Not played On These Pitches’: Rohit Sharma On Playing On Rank Turners | Cricket News

[ad_1] Yet another match in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has ended in less than three days. On Friday, it was India's turn to taste loss as the Rohit Sharma-led side were dominated by Australia throughout in the third Test.

The ball was turning viciously in the first half hour and uneven bounce made the task tougher for the batters.Dilip Vengsarkar, Matthew Hayden and Mark Waugh were among the former cricketers who thought the pitch was not good for Test cricket. For the third straight time, the match ended inside three days."Former cricketers, I don't think they played on pitches like these. So I don't know honestly. Like I said, this is the kind of pitches we want to play on. This is our ...

“Mockery Of Test Cricket”: India Legend’s Scathing Verdict On Indore Pitch | Cricket News

[ad_1] The wicket nature of the 22-yard strip at the Holkar Stadium where deliveries started turning square from the word go has reignited the debate of the India dishing out under-prepared surfaces for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy games against Australia.The ICC match referee Chris Broad is almost certain to take cognisance of the diabolical nature of the track and it won't be surprising that after Nagpur and Delhi which were rated "average", the track for the ongoing Test match could well get a "Below Average" rating. India were all out for 109 in just over a session while Australia managed to crawl to 156 for 4 as 14 wickets fell by the end of the day's play.All teams like to have conditions of their choice at home but what should be the extent of that home advantage?

[ad_1] File photo of Umran Malik and Rohit Sharma© AFPFormer selector Dilip Vengsarkar said that he would've picked young pacer Umran Malik in India's squad for the T20 World Cup, starting next month in Australia.
