Spin Friendly Tracks in India !!!

India won the third test against South Africa in Kanpur and leveled the series. It was a crumbling track on which the ball spun like a top. The critics as expected couldn’t keep their mouths shut. The curator was once again under the scanner for preparing a spin friendly track. Why can’t we produce tracks which assist spinners? What’s wrong in doing that?

I think its high time people stopped cribbing about the turning tracks and learnt how to deal with it. We don’t ask for turning tracks outside. When we go to Australia or South Africa we get fast and bouncy tracks. In England the tracks are always seaming. Then why not turning tracks in India?

It’s true that we should also learn to play on fast tracks so that our players don’t face a problem when they play outside. But that doesn’t mean that we start making those sorts of wickets even for our international matches. Let the practice wickets be bouncy or fast. We may have different kinds of tracks at the domestic level so that the new players learn to play on all kinds of tracks. But let’s not give away our advantage when someone else is visiting us.
