Dont judge a bowler or pitch by an Indian batting collapse.

Fine then.
Which is why it will be indistinguishable when India claims to be done in by the pitch?

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.
