Former Australian captain Mark Taylor, in dialog with Sydney Morning Herald got here out all weapons blazing over the pitches used within the India-Australia sequence and termed them as poor.
“I agree with that,” Taylor stated of the ICC ranking the Indore pitch as poor. I undoubtedly suppose the pitches have been poor for the sequence, to be completely trustworthy, and clearly the Indore one was the worst of the three. I don’t consider a pitch must be going by way of the highest on day one,” he stated.
India are at the moment main the sequence 2-1, and have already retained the Border-Gavakar Trophy. While criticising the Indian pitches, Taylor defended the Gabba floor on which a check between Australia and South Africa ended inside two days.
“You might understand that day four or five if the game goes that long, but not day one, that’s just poor preparation. I thought Indore was a very poor pitch and should have been ranked accordingly. I think they’ve got to keep an eye on that sort of stuff because people look at the Gabba this season. The groundsman there just got it wrong,” the previous opener stated.
He additional went on to say that the Indore pitch was so poorly curated that it turned the sport right into a lottery and introduced the Australian spinners into the sport way more than Indian thought.
“He left too much grass on it but, in a way, it didn’t favour either side. It would have favoured the South African seamers just as much (as Australia) because they’ve got four very good seamers. So I don’t think there was any skulduggery going on at the Gabba. I think with Indore, I hope I can say the same thing there, but what happened there, was the pitch was so poorly prepared that it actually made the game a bit more of a lottery, which didn’t favour India at all. It probably brought Australia’s spin bowlers into the game a lot more than they (India) thought it was going to,” he added.
