I don't know if I'm living in the best but I was totally shocked to read an excerpt that the BCCI has a pitch curator as a board member. Mr Daljit Singh is a BCCI board member whose job is apparently on the line following another poor pitch incident, twice in two years. Mr Daljit Singh was responsible for the debacle against South Africa as well where we saw one of the worst series from a statistical stand point.
This India’s overall record at home:
Decade by decade
India have been scoring runs by the truckload, Indian pitches are not 100 odd all out pitches. They have never been. Clearly something is going on. They struggled to score runs against a third rate spin attack, it’s happening again here. This is India against SA.
Only once in the last 17 years have India averaged under 30 in a 3 (or more) match home series. It was also against SA, you’d have to go way back to 1996. Link.
They are averaging 22 so far in the current series against Australia.
Lucky for us Mr Daljit Singh has a wiki page of his own, and to my lack of surprise the gentleman in question was sacked previously for a poor ODI pitch which was deemed dangerous to play.
This is the match in question link,.
I won’t be surprised if this toxic relationship is brought to an abrupt end once again.
Is this a common theme?
