Don't agree. Test pitches don't need to be batting-friendly roads.Let us all be totally honest, is there anyone who didn't expect this to happen?
Playing test cricket in India is just a total waste of time, and I look forward to the day test cricket is banned there.
That may not happen, but in effect it can if teams decide to boycott test matches there.
This may sound harsh on India, but after watching England play a series there last year, it just isn't cricket.
On day 1, after each ball landed on the pitch a huge puff of dust came up, and so it went for every ball left in the test.
In reality just a joke, pitches in the back yard are more reliable.
Are there others who think the same or am I just thinking too deep about it all?
But if BCCI want serious test opposition they need to allow touring teams some decent warmup. A week of T20I-fly-T20I-fly-T20I or a week of nets for the non-T20I players is not enough prep. India are good enough to win at home, no need to stack the deck by not allowing warmups.
At least when India last toured NZ there was one warmup 3 day game against NZ A, and some of the test specialists had game time with the preceeding India A tour.
