Coupled with the fact that even recent marketing guys are also asking for cricketr's blood they might find it a little close to comfort. I am always of the opinion that celebrities in India are a spoiled brat and we should be held responsible for not asking them to be responsible. Every doctor, engineer, lawyer or an IAS/IPS officer does his/her duty (not to forget abt soldiers) but they are treated as poorly as u can think. The same is not true for a celebrity. I guess its time we review our system and stop shuddering with every abject surrender of our glorified cricketers. This is not the first time that these things have happened.

Changing the nature of the pitches here is hardly the solution. India is and should remain a spinner's paradise. The problem is with some of our players' egos getting bloated by all the cheap runs they get. So few of them have either the wherewithal or the desire to guts it out against tough opponents on unfriendly pitches. The bowlers can't bowl for nuts and the catches don't stick. Thats Indian cricket for you. All this will be forgotten once India wins the next one-day series in India Well written, bachde. Changing the nature of the pitches here is hardly the solution.
