Flat tracks is our identity and national pride. No one can take that away from us, not even the pretty white boys.

Good point. I have always argued this point with some people who think there is no such thing as "bowler friendly" conditions, yet they complain about flat tracks.

National pride is not a lame excuse. If we start making green tops then how would you differentiate between "them" and us.

Win toos, Bat first - We saw that very recently
Spin pitches on 4th ad 5th days - We need them as much as we need seaming tracks on the first day.
Criticizing a pitch for being flat is understandable but for being spin friendly? Come on!

I'm not criticising pitches for being spin friendly. More so, I'm making the point that subcontinent tracks tend to be heavily weighted towards batsmen until the 4th day where spin becomes a much larger factor. My main gripe is that the first three days are heavily weighted towards a batsmen and it just becomes so boring when bat completely dominates ball.

Not true, the first session almost always provides some help for the quicks with the overhead conditions, especially if you have a newish ball. Plus there's the reverse swing factor. Not too many quicks around the world right now are good enough to use it as a lethal weapon. Don't blame the subcontinental conditions for that, though.
