Or would it be more sensible to talk about the new source of Bulli soil
they they now have and is been used to make the pitches.

India played Warne very well in this test, partly by not playing Lee and McGrath
well in the first innings but...

:The traditional spinners track at the SCG was doctored (or as one local news
:reporter put it- surgically altered) to suit the pace bowlers in the recent
:third test match, with Shane Warne being the biggest loser. However, it is a
:case of country before an individual.
They have laid a completely new pitch which doesn't suit spin as much as
the old one. It's been said right throughout the Shield season that the
pitch is different to the old one, its not something that changed for the
test. How is this 'doctoring'?

" The Indians' worst New Year nightmares will come true today when they
arrive at the Sydney Cricket Ground to find the fastest, best-grassed SCG
pitch in 20 years for the third test against Australia, starting tomorrow"
"Gone are the almost traditional bald patches of recent seasons which saw
many SCG pitches turn from day one, replaced by several ribs of green grass
against the overall turf cover"
"Curator Tom Parker said it is probably one of the grassiest and hopefully
one of the quickest we have seen here for some time, for 20 years or so"
"Parker's words will strike the Indians a sickening jolt. Their expectations
were to be confronted by a patchy, low bouncing strip with a finger spinner
such as Harbhajan Singh joining leg spinner Anil Kumble in the frontline of
their attack"
The above should illustrate the point I was trying to make, and why spinners
including Shane Warne could not take many wickets.

Of course not, that would make all those *** theories you can make
up about it wrong.

The truth is that the centre area has been dug up and replaced with fresh
Bulli soil ( they now have a source for Bulli soil that will last quite a while)
and the Sydney pitches are now different from what they where in the
last couple of years.

[snip quotes - can't you make your own arguments]
You still haven't addressed the point that its been this way the whole
season.
2. Australian pitches doctored?
3. Doctoring pitches.... flat out cheating!
8. Aussie pitch doctoring - innocent mistake; Dravid ball tampering - conclusively deliberate
9. Alright no pitch doctoring by the groundsmen
10. Pitch doctoring - Melbourne
11. Indians admit they doctor pitches :)
12. Indians doctor pitch to make lots of runs .
