The comment made by Kohli about preparing turning pitches is
not unfair has proved that a 20 years old does not always deliver mature
comments even if one is a magnificent player. Indians are going to take on
England in a four Test matches series in the home condition. Few of the remarks
made by Kohli were really childish and immature and the tactic made by Indian
Cricket board is unfair. There are few points which I would like to mention
here. Firstly, the Indian Cricket Board
is giving the English boys no opportunity to get used to playing spin in the
upcoming warm up games. This is justified by not selecting any frontline
spinner for the touring games. Now the question arises here is that is it fair ?
I can understand by not selecting either Ojha or Harbhajan or Ashwin as they
are the trump card for Indian Team, but is it fair not to let them practice
against any quality spinner ? Apart from these three slow bowlers there are other
many spinners who represent their States on highest level. For me its unfair. Secondly, the Indian team
after getting hammered 0-8 in England and down under are in a mood to pay it
back. As per the comment s made by Indian cricketers, the pitches out there
were unfair and unplayable. But is it true that only the Pitches were
responsible for the results which was there for everyone to see ? Was there no
lack of application and skills as far as countering the swinging and bouncing ball
was concerned. ! We have to accept that many of our top cricketers were at the
fag end of their career and the youngsters were not up to the mark. Hence, lest
you point fingers towards others, its better to rectify your own mistake and
try to work on it. The Indian cricket Board also needs to keep an eye on the
young cricketers attitude such as Ashwin and Virat and show them examples of
the way the experience cricketers such as Tendulkar, Dravid, Kumble, Laxman spoke.
