Apologies for the late reply.
I have no doubt that India got flatter tracks in Australia. Adelaide was flat as always, but turning and ripping on the final day (ask the Aussie posters). Gabba had a bit of bounce but was flatter than the normal Brisbane track. Melbourne and Sydeny were probably the flattest tracks I saw, absolute flat beds they were. Sydney which usually assists the spinners did nothing.
But the point is, did only India receive flat tracks? The drop in pitches have been flat for a long time in Australia. The tracks were flat during the last SA tour of Aus, NZ received joke of a tracks in WACA (of all pitches, imagine the furore had India received such a track in Perth) and Brisbane. Only Adelaide was good due to the different match conditions and pink ball. The tracks against WI were super flat too.
Many people tend to believe a conspiracy that the BCCI strong arms other boards into producing flat tracks.
Other than Trent Bridge, which was a disgrace of a wicket, all the other tracks were bowling tracks only. Especially Lords was a green top.
I'll reproduce the pitch reports for our matches in the SA and NZ tour (cricinfo):
Pitch report of Jo'burg test:
"Would you look at that. The pitch report comes up and there is a "nice covering of grass on it. The sun is out and the groundsman believes the preparation has been quite perfect. It will be a little slow on the first day, but will quicken as the match progresses. There will be movement for the fast bowlers early on, but there might not be too much assistance for the spinners."
Pitch report of Auckland test:
A slight passing shower on, which hopefully won't delay the match further. "A tremendous grass coverage," says Simon Doull of the pitch. He also says the pitch is not quite rock hard because it hasn't had the sun to dry out. So he expects tennis-ball bounce, a lot of movement, but not a lot of pace.
Pitch report of Wellington test:
"The pitch report has mixed news for the batsman. Life will be tough early on, there is a considerable and even covering of grass on this deck. But as the game wears on, in the second and third days with the sun beating down it will flatten out. The outfield is fantastic. It's a lovely day out there, with a maximum of 21 degrees celsius and a humidity of 87%".
I saw all of those matches live and while they definitely weren't greatly seaming wickets, they definitely weren't flat tracks either as many will have you believe. All of these tracks had conditions which can assist the bowlers, atleast on the first 2 to 3 days.
Unfortunately, India can never win with a few ppers here. If India do well abroad, it's either because:
1. The wickets were flat or
2. The batsmen played foolish shots to crap bowling.
And if India fail in difficult conditions abroad:
1. India are FTBs and were found out on difficult tracks (which are the saving grace of test cricket)..
When India do well at home:
1. India are HTBs.
2. India can only win on doctored pitches.
When overseas teams fail in difficult conditions in India:
1. No batsman could bat on such disgraceful conditions (which of course are destroying Test cricket).
