Why India scheduled test matches with Australia at fast pitches?
the test matches are at Mohali, Bangalore and Nagpur, why not on dust bowl wickets like Mumbai and kanpur etc.
Additional Details
why India is showing so much hospitality to visitors!
oh, matt this is awesome, you have said some words , normally your answer is restrcited to one word only , cheers!
I also do not know why. India should have dusty wickets like they have had. Their team is more suited to these wickets. Kumble on one end, Harbhajan on the other will surely trouble the Aussies.
venues r decided by rotation policy

3. Shane Warne:- 14 @ 30.07

2. Harbhajan Singh:- 21 @ 24.00
3. Murali Karthik:- 12 @ 17.25
4. Zaheer Khan:- 10 @ 36.80
Irfan Pathan 2 wickets, & Agarkar 1 wicket at averages worth not mentioning.
Those stats will say the real story. Most of Australia's big names are missing. When Australia was not able to produce players of the stature of McGrath, Warne or a Dizzie, India's fast bowling department proliferated like never before. Not to mention that our two spin wizards are still bowling, and bowling quite well. But Australia is still groping in the dark for a spinner who could do half the job of what Warney has done. (Harbhajan has said that Indian batsmen will have fun with Aussie Spinners:- http://ind.cricinfo.com/indvaus2008/cont... ).
Players like Lee & Hussey have not played test matches in India. What kind of pitches are available at those venues are yet to be known. Let us see what will happen.
India wants to beat Australia in their own conditions just like they ve beaten them in their home so that Aussies needs somenew aquistion for their defeat like racial comments and something else
