Part of the reason for Test Cricket’s demise, as suggested by the western press based upon their analysts report of raw data gleaned from their contracted surveyors, could be the media building up negative reports on day one itself without waiting for at least day 3-4 to see if the pitch is really the way it is.

The way everyone is on about it, it appears pitches must turn from day one. It is quite another matter that if they do so, the media will change tack and criticize from another direction.

Wait for day three=four at least before passing judgement…factor in the extremely defensive tactics of Sangakkara, factor in some enterprising batting, factor in some poor bowling and factor in that it is just a day one pitch.

Please do not expect fireball wickets in India like one is supposed to find in England or Australia as per the myths, for there never have been such here and will never be.

And check out the crowds…7% of India is, like I said somewhere, is at least 70,000 more than the nearest figure.

Ujan,

What I was getting at is that, for all his talent and relative success, Shakib is likely to be less of a ‘marquee name’ than certain other counties’ overseas players.

I’m certainly an admirer of Shakib, and have been for some time.

i think it’s quite a nice decision to be taking shakib in. he’s currently in his peak of success & i reckon he’s shown the cricket world what’s he capable of over the last couple of months. I’m not too sure what does this ‘higher profile’ cricketer mean especially when you’ve got the no. 1 allrounder in the team! The author’s better off taking some cricket knowledge before he advances with his journalism career in sports!
