Sports : life magnified

The laws are quite clear on this. The umpires have the final say on the pitch. Also if the conditions or the pitch, ground etc are not dangerous it is playable.

In a test match in India vs England play was stopped and the match abandoned because the ball was bouncing so awkwardly that it could cause serious damage to the English batsmen. Hussain was right to protest and the umpires were right to stop play.

But if the pitch is not dangerous, and its within the laws So what is the issue why so many English fans are disgruntled with the pitches provided to them.

A great team wins even in the most adverse of conditions.

The team is wanting to try as many players as they can is the official stand of the selectors. I have strong thoughts on the ludicrous idea which has all the material for a strong article I can write on this but I do not have the mood to do it, to be very honest.

The thing is international cricket is not the place to try out new players. You see which players are good or have the makings too add to the strength of the team. Then you back them for some time at least. The more changes which are made, the more it shows the selectors made a mistake in chosing an initial player whom they did.

Also this is different from the rotation policy applied in the Australian domestic season some times, if people will bring that example. Here you are putting a lot of unnecessary pressure.

Of course there has been no complaints as India is winning and every one is happy.

I must specify that I am not against bringing youngsters or people who you feel are talented to the side. Just the unnecessary changes in selection.
