West Indies Cricket Fans

Test cricket is alive and well. The India-Australia clash in Mohali was many things: one of the closest finishes in the history of the game; an epic to rank with the best these two sides have produced as they have slugged it out over the past decade; and a riveting display of talent, including by one of India's finest batsmen. But perhaps most importantly, it was a palate cleanser. After the sordid match-fixing allegations and counter-allegations in England, India's last gasp victory was an opportune reminder of the spectacle the game can provide in the positive sense of the word.

Dead pitches are great for ODI and T20 cricket but in Test matches you want a pitch which will offer a lil' something for both batsmen and bowlers and thus produce a result.
