    This first hour will be interesting to see how this pitch will play, and put all speculation to rest.

    THat is so not true. Anyone watching cricket for a good length of time, knows that on a bad pitch, batting first is crucial.. as the first day is usually the best time to bat on such surfaces... And heres a quite from Cricinfo The pitch looks extremely dry and has no grass cover. Anil Kumble...

    Re Shewag, im saying it MIGHT suit him , if he just has a go, and comes off...its kinda hit and miss, but he is the kind of player, on a bad pitch (again, IF its a bad pitch, its yet to be determines, im just looking at it from a hypothetical viewpoint) who can come off, and change the game.

    Noone said a crumbly wicket is worse than a fast one... It depends on the dagrees in which htey differ...A slick grassy pitch that is uneven, can be deadly....

    How often do you see a pitch that is good for fast bowlers, become unplayable?? Often enough in the sub continent this happens from day 3 on for spin... day 4 and 5 is truly impossable.. IM a spinner, and love good spin, but its BS that the fast bowlers have it better. It just not your teams...

    All the indians/indian supporters on here are all excited to see a crumbler.becasue im sure, they think India will win this, becasue of the spinners. And they just well might do that... But to me, this kind of putch is bad for cricket. I love results pitches. I hate watching batsmen dominate...
