Announcement - Calling Motera's Curator to Mumbai!
Yes, there is a match to be played in Mumbai! No, he is not going to be asked to prepare wicket for another boring match!
He is being called to Mumbai, to prepare Mumbai's roads! It is being believed, that "If he could create a pitch with soil, that did not produce a single crack, or unevenness over a period of five days, imagine, the kind of magic he could do with concrete."
I have to say, I can not disagree on this one! God knows, Mumbai needs roads that will not crack up every other day, or provide uneven bounces at every 100m.
Raj Thackerey has promised to create another havoc. Ironically, it is something about sons-of-'soil'!

who made this son of a pitch?
1200 runs and 12 wickets later, we’re stuck with a bitch of a test match...
this is not the first time and most certainly not going to be the last time…
test cricket itself is being challenged like never before by the emergence of T20 and the last thing we want are dead as dodo pitches which are only going to hasten the beginning on an end we all fear…whatever purists say about test cricket’s health sighting results and the thrilling draws we had recently… it would be like ignoring the threat knowingly…
i would go on to say that more than the debacle of Antigua these pitches will kill test cricket first…
i am yet to see an advertisement of a company ridiculing its own product…then why isn’t anything done about this farce (sorry sam for using your takiyakalam) being organised in the name of test cricket…
when bowlers look the other way whenever captain wants to bowl them…when batsmen lick their lips in anticipation of adding some ‘weight’ to their stats…when the only time players involved in the game feel happy (or relieved) when two captains agree to end it…when two teams have the best talent of world cricket, with the best technicians assembled - are compelled to air the dullest test cricket…the future of which is already being debated…
then you know something is going horribly wrong...
isn’t it time we look into some ‘quality control’ of pitches too…the most important factor in any form of the game, specially test cricket…?
