They made the ground specifically to counter our batsmen.

Yeah I mean, not even necessarily against NZ or in the immediate future but just something. For a team that plays such few tests the loss of this one is really awful.

Counter our fielders - hole at midwicket. Hoping that a few break their ankles before we play India

Does seem strange when India have so many cricket grounds that they would schedule a Test here at a ground that appears not up to international standard. Perhaps some Indian members could shed some light on the thought process from the BCCI.

I think the standard thought process from the BCCI is $$$$$$$$$$$$

Bcci is a corrupt body which dosent give a **** about fans or game they only care about money but i think in this case it was pre decided that afghans would play at noida and afghan have mou with uttar pradesh cricket association and also uttar pradesh is poorest state in india and they dont have facilities compere to rich state/board

Isn't the north of India pretty much still having the back end of the monsoon? That means that there was always significant risk of disruption. I know Mumbai and areas in Maharashtra pretty well and they are near the back end of the season, but the north tends to finish a bit later on in comparison?

from esp "like day one, there was not even a drop of rain during the day" how was this ground selected surely has to be overseen to ensure its up for international cricket especially considering its back end of the rainy season.
And who'd pay the difference to host it at a better venue or you think it's all free because it's India?
The team that has a grand total of 2 (test) wins in India
Speculating, like the others, but maybe this has more to do with Taliban? They're not exactly GoI's BFF.
