DDCA is resposible for a dangerous pitch of Delhi Firojshah Kotla


Today the match between India and Srilanka is abandoned due to bad pitch. This is such a shameful at at main venue of 2011 world cup. BCCI should take action against New Delhi’s cricket association “The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has disbanded its grounds and pitches committee with immediate effect,” cricket board secretary Narainswamy Srinivasan said in a statement.
In the pitch report, it was said that this is a pitch that will favor batsman but what to do with a batsman pitch when the ball is coming to the face and shoulder of Jaisura and Dilashan. In the pitch report Gavaskar said... “It’s a hair transplant pitch with bald patches and some patches of grass. Batsmen have to watch out. I am not sure about it. Looks like a batting first pitch. Difficult to predict what it will do,” he had said.
The former Test great said it was not safe for batsmen to continue batting on the unfriendly track, which had uneven bounce.
“There were tufts of grass on the pitch. Playing there was dangerous and physical safety of the players is important. The ball was rising from the good length, which is quite dangerous.Although DDCA chief Arun Jetlie apologized to fans but this is a mockery against the lacks of cricket fans in India.
What the experts say about it...
Former India captains Bishan Singh Bedi commented...”The DDCA has made a mess out of the pitch, they should own up the responsibility.”
“I wonder how the organizers used a pitch for an international match when it had not even been used for domestic Ranji Trophy games.
Dilip vengskar says.. Vengsarkar said the now-disbanded BCCI pitch panel was responsible.
“It’s shameful that such a pitch was prepared for an international match,” said Vengsarkar. “Some deliveries were rearing up even from good length.”
