Exact precedence vENumA? The above quoted double standards on pitches is an example that corroborates their attitude and behaviour.

^ I did..a part timer like Dilshan was turning it on day 1..Ponting's dismissal wouldn't happened on day 1 in Chennai/Bangalore where the batsman can hit through the line.
..After lunch Lakmal/welegedhra were bowling cutters with the keeper standing infront of the stumps.
Tony was mourning about it. If SL had Murali OZ wouldn't have reached 200 with their current batting lineup in this pitch.

PR chennai lion Mussey agrees with me on the pitch

http://www.espncricinfo.com/sri-lank...ry/530595.html

"It is certainly the driest first day pitch I've played on in Test match cricket," Hussey said. "Their quicks got wickets as well. They obviously got four of the wickets, got a bit of reverse swing, so we've got to use that to our advantage tomorrow hopefully. It certainly took a lot of turn on the first day but I thought in general, the guys played the spin pretty well.

"It was quite a difficult pitch to start on really. It was really slow so it was hard to find your timing initially. I guess my message was just to try and play as straight as possible and just try to hang in there for as long as you can because it does get easier the longer you go.

"Having said that, it's sort of an apprehensive feeling as well because there might be one ball that explodes and takes the glove or takes your edge and you're gone anyway. I think the message [to the other batsmen] is to try to play their game, be positive and just try to take time to get used to the pace of the pitch because it was a little difficult to time the ball early."

We have morons like http://twitter.com/#!/SANJAYMANJREKA...87733898010624 who seem to think playing on bouncy track is the golden standard in cricket and deems curators patriotic when they prepare a track which suits the home team..Until we have self-loathing idiots as cricket commentators/experts you can't blame ICC when they look to standardize pitches in subcontinent.

I think I have conceded in more than one occasion in our discussion over the last few months that Eng-Aus players' disciplinary excess should be pulled up too. aRikkai yEdhAvadhu vidaNumA?
