Very true, but Pak's climatic conditions is almost the same as India, and
they can produce good pitches.
So, send us your Perth pitch thru plane and we'll maintain it ;-)
I've heard that BCCI is the richest ever cricket boards, and wondering why
can't they make good pitches. I know they're trying [ as they tried in
MAChidambaram stadium, and made things even worser
]

I'll tell you why. Your pitches are slow and usually poor quality (OTOH many
pitches in parks here are concrete - that does not help, but real matches
are on good pitches). To develop cricket players one needs good grounds.
If one bowls or bats on goat tracks the ball does amazing things. A bowler
doesn't need to learn anything as the ball bounces randomly. Batsman don't
learn their craft either. There will be few black sth africians at the top
level as they play on goat tracks (if lucky). As your pitches are slow it
does not favour quicks as they aren't quick and get belted. You need the
kids and youngun playing on good pitches to learn their craft.
All about money. India may need a lot of money as they have a lot of
players.

Hmm..very very sad...still. One great question, asked by millions:
"Why can't India produce atleast *one* genuine fast bowler?"
"What's the MRf pace-foundation doing?
We need two more Srinath's. Otherwise no point in dreaming about the big
event yet.
