Shastri said it best, why tour if you are going to get the same stuff every where ? The biggest challenge for a test player is to make the adjustments and play well everywhere . That is one thing that makes cricket so much nuanced than say football (the real one). To his credit and Kohli's they never bemoaned the conditions and pitches at any time. Both teams get to play 11 vs 11 on the same pitch, and both teams have access to more or less same information about the pitch. Chin up and take it on like a pro.

Obviously the exception being Russian roulette pitches that screws every batsman. Also roads that screwes all bowlers.

Talking of sandpaper, I had just patented the original at the then Patent office just behind St Paul's as I recall in 1882 or was 1881. And rushing down to Surrey in borrowed creams and a linen shirt I wangled my way onto the ground as a phoney 12th man with a tray of lemon squash and before dropping the lot I sidled up to Spofforth to let him know what he could do with my new invention - he heard me out and the rest is history. England were reversed swung into submission. Enjoy the series guys!
