By deliberately not putting water on the pitches you end up with sub
standard Test pitches. Yes, they spin in India but that is accentuated
by not putting water on them. And they do this for one reason , to give
India the best chance to win. Now they call people who pick at the seams
"cheats" because they try to influence the condition of the ball
unfairly yet you can make goat tracks like we have that influence the
condition of the ball a lot more. And when you do this and this assists
one team a lot more then the other then I consider it cheating.

Face it - while your batting hasn't exactly gotten too many brownie
points, it's your totally inept bowling that's really lost you the
Tests... e.g. those two sessions where Dhawan scored 180 must rank as
one of the worst Test bowling displays I've seen in India.
