Will the ICC demonstrate impartiality with wicket curation in the next WC like they have in England?

[Rana]

First and foremost, well done and thank you ICC for bringing this game back to reality and fairness. The wickets were brilliant and yes the Toss did decide most of the results, however we were tired of seeing no balance between bat and ball, that was restored for sure. This approach had the clean favourites in trouble big time. Losing the game at Trent Bridge where England are used to scoring 400 with their eyes closed but could not chase 350. Unable to chase 220 against Sri Lanka and 280 against Australia at lords. England scratched and clawed their way to 240 in the final. In a way, England were never truly at home even whilst playing at home

Now the question is, what are we to expect in India 4 years down the line?

Should be slow wickets again taking some turn. Toss will be a factor because of dew unless they only play day games

I disagree the many of the wickets were awful.

flat phattas..India will never allow a balance..they are eeven more powerful than in 2011..

 

[jaisan]

The pitchhes Will be dry and tale slow turn wich Aids reverse swing and sin. Hopefully the two new ball rule Will be scrapped by the time.

 

[sweep_shot]

I hope India will produce turning pitches. I don't want to see regular 330+ scores.

 

[Aman]

Hopefully the same wickets in the WC.

2011 matches in India had perfect bat-ball balance, some awesome pitches. I hope we get some abrasive surfaces otherwise batting second will be a huge advantage with the dew factor, a redux of 2011 curation will be welcome. Flat pitches were served in 2015 WC, not 2011. Also in 2011 toss wasn't very important unlike 2015 and this edition.

Normal subcon wickets.

Teams have four years to prepare for it.

We have to accept that Indian pitches are not the same as English for starters.

England WC had a variety of pitches with some flat, a few turned & some greenish seaming wickets. Most had a balance allowing scoring but with some assistance for seamers (bounce or grass).

In India I'd expect most to be flat but take turn, some dry turners & a few to assist pace bowling (nagpur & mohali perhaps). The elements will be different but if the pitch is dry & hard pacers can have a chance & batsmen have a full range of shots.

If we get slow puddings it might be a dull old cup.

Hopefully like 2011.

Entire world has already adapted to Indian LOI wickets, thanks to IPL. India will not have swing like England as the atmospheric conditions don't match. India also doesn't have drop ins like Australia and hence no flat pancakes. It is a given that Chennai & Delhi will turn, Mumbai will bounce, Kolkata & Mohali will seam, and Hyderabad will be slow. ICC will just make sure there is no tampering with the pitches and that is about it.
