"You never go to India and get served up green wickets” : Tim Paine

[BaankeJi]

The Aussie batters will have the advantage because they are taught to get on top of the bounce from boyhood. Whereas the Indian batters don’t, and many will will be gloving it to slip and holing out hooking.

Not true anymore. It was true in 90s.

Indian batsmen have also grew up playing spin and we made Moeen Ali some kind of ATG. That logic is no longer going to work in this T20 age.

That is rather the fault of the current crop of Indian batters in England, though in India they played him very easily, and has nothing to do with how they play fast bowling on bouncy wickets.

Excuses!

Blame your spineless Cricket board for serving subcontinental pitches. You will be served with rank turners again in India on your next tour.

Bumrah, Shami, Ishant must be the greatest ever bowlers to take all those wickets on 'subcontinent' type pitches. The wickets had pace, bounce and took turn as well later on. If he really was batting on "green pitches", his pathetic batting order would have collapsed for sub 50 scores.
