The pitches in 2012 were not the modern day raging turners, they were more balanced pitches and had a few flat turners. That is why there were many scores of 300 and few above 400 from both teams in that series.
The average England side won as many tests in India as yourselves in their most recent series?
I believe he's referring to the Australian tour prior (2016-17) where Smith made almost 500 runs with 3 centuries vs Jadeja and Ashwin. Australia lost a very very close series 2 games to 1. With a bit more luck, they could've at the very least drawn the series.The average England side won as many tests in India as yourselves in their most recent series?
Smith highest score was 38 and he got 145 runs in the whole series
Root got a double hundred in match winning game and scored 258 in that test.
lmao someone forgot the 2016 series where Ashwin and Jadeja bowled on absolute flat pancakes and still destroyed England
The OP is a moron though.
You could do a Rahane and score twin tons on the only flat deck of the series though
In the bazball era you don’t need to lose 20 wickets to lose a test
India are not idiots. They're not going to declare at 8/300 on day 1
because thats when 1 of our main batsmen will be in these days
We did declare at 36/9 once though
that series and maybe the seam friendly surfaces in bangladesh series are exceptions, but india mostly dish out turners.
we also made batting friendly pitches the last time South Africa toured here. it has been a mix of both turners and batting pitches for a while in India as they keep alternating between them 2 depending on the opponent and series situation
It was the 10 mango lassies per day that kept him in a good frame of mind.
this is it. India are so sad to be afraid of uncles.
