Jokes apart, what are other occasions where you think India was done in by a substandard pitch
Or are you conceptually against a crumbling pitch being called substandard in the first place? (adhenna 'standard'? evan solradhu? indha standard imposition-ai edhirppOm etc.)
PR, on pitches what option due the curators in subcontinent have? prepare a sporting wicket like we get at Mohali or the one at Nagpur dished out by Mumbai mafia to settle scores with Dalmia?
I have been watching Cricket since the 80s Gavaskar kAlathulErundhu(well, only, technically. The first match I actually watched was Sunny's famous final innings - 96 against Pak in Bangalore. What an innings on a minefield! adhellAm your pitch standardisers ilLAma paNNiduvAngaLOnnu oru bayam).
81 All out. 136 by a rather modest batsman in Chennai against Pak and then 255 all out Sydney Collapse. Bangalore against Pak, Mumbai against England. 6/9 for Clarke. Klusener. Hooper(bowling)
1991 tour to Australia- when we'd go from 51/2 to 133/6 to 291/7 to 299 all out thanks to a Azhar or Sachin masterclass. ipdi pala
I WILL NEVER attribute an Indian Batting collapse to the pitch. Many times, not even the bowlers.
NZ 2002 - fair enough. You made a pitch where even Sachin couldnt bat well. Fair game. But adhu nalladhu Mumbai sotthainu repeatedA all influential people and media establish paNNuvadhu, namma lazy media adhaiyE reproduce paNNuvadhu idhellAm dhAn en grouse.
I really wish I were in media.

Does any one remember Strauss dismissal by Warne in 2005 where the ball was shown missing the stumps by Hawkeye but it had actually clipped the bails in real time :-)

Jeyawardene falls after a brilliant 100.
ICC came in a bit late I had expected Atkinson to inspect the pitches by now.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lank...ry/531060.html
What do you expect when you tour subcontinent? bounce and seam? . I don't remember the subcontinental sides questioning the pitches when they get bundled out for less than 100..it has always been the inability of the subcontinental batsman in playing bounce/swing. Has ICC ever raised a q regarding the overseas pitches which has subcontinental sides at the disadvantage?
How can Chris Broad continue to referee international games when his son still plays? He can always ask his pals to go easy on his son which always seem to be the case with Stuart Broad and match referees .

Ambrose gets place in Hall of Fame :redjump: :notworthy:
Curtly Ambrose was recognised as one of the giants of the game when he was inducted into the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Hall of Fame yesterday.
The sport's world governing body made the formal induction of the West Indies fast bowling legend into the 63-member Hall of Fame, along with Australians Alan Davidson and women's player Belinda Clark during the ICC Awards.
"It is a privilege and an honour to be inducted in the Hall of Fame," said the 47-year-old Ambrose. "In the history of cricket, there have been many great cricketers and to be part of that elite group I'm very happy and am very humbled."
Ambrose added: "I never thought that this day would come. This only tells me that all the hard work I put in throughout my career did not go unnoticed. I see this also as a just reward for all the joy and happiness that I may have brought to cricket and cricketers alike."
Ambrose, standing at 6 feet, 6 inches tall, captured 405 Test wickets at 20.99 in 98 Tests.
Two of his most noticeable performances came against England and Australia–he took six for 24 to help hustle England out for 46 in Trinidad in 1994, while he took a series-clinching seven for 25, including nine maiden overs, against Australia at the WACA in the previous season.
Ambrose also featured in 176 ODIs, claiming 225 wickets at an average of 24.12.
Like its often said, they don't make 'em like him anymore. :notworthy:

Yh Mahela walked. Listen at 25 seconds Watson said to him to walk. Bit hypocritical to me as Watson is the least likely cricketer to walk in that situation.Quote:

ICC had offered Aamer to confess and get two years ban: Source PTI
AP File photo: The source said that Aamer had indeed submitted a written statement with the Southwark court in London admitting that he made a mistake and deliberately bowled no-balls for financial gain during the fourth test against England at Lords.

The ICC had offered Pakistan teenaged pacer Muhammad Aamer a bargain under which if he had confessed to his involvement in spot-fixing he would have escaped with a maximum ban of two years.
A well-informed source in the Pakistan cricket Board told PTI today that the offer came across the table even before the anti-corruption tribunal of the ICC held its hearings earlier this year.
“I can confirm the offer came from the ICC at a one to one meeting with Aamer in which his lawyer, Shahid Karim and the Chairman of the board, Ijaz Butt were also present,” the source said.
He said the ICC offer was clear that if Aamer admitted his mistake and guilt to being part of the spot-fixing racket during Pakistan team’s tour to England last year he would have got off with a ban ranging from one to two years.
“Aamer at that time didn’t accept this offer and is now regretting it,” the source added.
The ICC anti-corruption tribunal in February banned Aamer, Salman Butt and Muhammad Asif for five years for their involvement in spot fixing and the trio are now also facing criminal charges under the gambling and anti-corruption acts of the Crown Prosecutor’s office in a London court.
The source said that Aamer had indeed submitted a written statement with the Southwark court in London admitting that he made a mistake and deliberately bowled no-balls for financial gain during the fourth test against England at Lords.
“Yes he has made a written admittance of his involvement and it appears he has done this to avoid a prison term in the criminal case,” the source said.
But the source was clear that the decision by Aamer to confess has come late.
“If he had admitted his guilt and involvement to the ICC he would have escaped a short ban and would have been available to play for Pakistan maximum by 2013,” the source said.
The source said the ICC made the offer keeping in mind Aamer’s age of 18 and had some sympathy for him because of this factor.
“Even his lawyer had advised Aamer that it would be difficult to fight the case but he didn’t listen. Even though the onus is on the prosecutors to prove a crime has taken place.
“In the case of these three the problem now is that Mazhar Majeed has also confessed to being involved in illegal acts during the Lords test,” the source noted.
