Getting wickets on a flt pitch is tough. As a pacer, you'd need to generate pace in the air, bowl full and straight and hope it swings. You'll also need to really bend your back to generate the bounce and carry you'd need in accurate back of length deliveries in the corridor of uncertainty for variation. Highly improbable for our pacers as things stand now.

Spinners would need to toss it up, use drift when available, really stress their wrist and fingers and rip it to an aggressively set field. Again, highly improbable.

Flat surfaces also favor the side with better batsmen and that's simply not us.

So, we must invest in quality pitches where our batsmen will face better quality attacks and once they survive, may become better quality batsmen in the process.
