In the first test NZ were six down in the first session . How would have the NZ batting lineup coped on a green top?

NZ pitches have been flat in the last few years. To blame it on BCCi is preposterous.

India have won a series in NZ . On the 67-68 tour India defested NZ 3-1

If NZ had produced a green-top, they would have been 2-0 down and not 1-0. The author of that ‘article’ should actually thank BCCI

“And really, in Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma, India has probably one of the world’s best new ball attacks” – Is it not a little bit too early to make a comment like that? Let’s wait for 2 years atleast and see how Ishant matures as a bowler, especially on pitches that favor batting…..

Off-topic, A food for thought
Why can’t we prepare a pitch which has a green-top on one side and is flat on the other? The green top side shall aid the fast bowlers in the beginning and turn into a good batting wicket as the match progresses. The flat side would aid the batsmen and turn into a dustbowl on day five!

Sorry, I correct myself: India did not win a series in NZ. I was thinking of the 75-76 series, which was tied.

Either this guy is being sarcastic, or he is a moron of the highest order. He starts of with a wrong fact (India *has* won a series in NZ) and then talks about home umpires both in Ind and NZ: doesn’t he know that was abolished way back in the ages ?

Anyway, more importantly: you sire, jinxed Sachin. I blame you squarely for his dismissal.
