Thank god Hansie flew a plane into a mountain, because I bet we'd be experiencing the same **** with him if he was still alive.
Was about to say this is a bit extreme, but it's probably conservative considering the death threats to Tim Paine's mum.

Not often you can say 4-32 is just not good enough. Leaked 64% of the runs all by himself.

I'd say one out of 5 should be rotational tbh.

1st Test Delhi - Variable bounce

2nd Test Chennai - Classic red soil spin friendly track or a road depending on who we play

3rd Test at Dharamshala (or a random venue that changes every time) - Bounce, pace and cracks on day 4

4th Test Kolkata - Green track for the lolz

5th Test Mumbai - Spin friendly or a normal Indian track that starts out being friendly to batsmen before deteriorating or becoming a road

Well Motera definitely has to be one of the 5, considering they have splurged on it to be the world's biggest stadium.

Would remove Mumbai. Mohali and Bangalore are better.

5 is too few. About 8 would be right. As I said in other thread, traditionally the venues that got tests were limited to – Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Nagpur, Mohali. Limit to these venues. No point taking tests to Ranchi, Vizag or Indore.

Kohli essentially wants to emulate Australia and England where teams who come to play a 4 or 5 test series know where they are going to play beforehand and there are some expectations built in with each venue and that creates a legacy in due course of time.

Not a bad idea.
