This series might also result in such a law change regarding pitches. So congrats India! You win this round over Pakistan in terms of shameless desire to win.
As for us, we have a bit more dignity, we will take home advantage but wont push it to a shameless level even if we lose...rest assured we wont be opening threads in the India fans forum praising a bowler who needs crutches (a hyper dust bowl) to pick decent amount of wickets
But really... as Austin would point out...who are we to complain? India produces 90% of the revenue and so we should be grateful India isnt making it mandatory to make 90% of away pitches to be prepared by indian curators.

I am no defender of Indian pitches in Nagpur and probably Mohali. But, linking Ashwin success to that is unfair. Ashwin got loads of wickets against SL and Bangladesh outside India and better pitches in India.
What's your opinion on SL complain on NZ pitch?
