I cant find a reason why Indian
bowlers could not perform on the bowler friendly pitches of England and why the
England batsmen could not perform on t he batsmen friendly pitches of India.
Well the question sounds interesting
but its answer lies in one word “Conditions “.
In cricket a batsman or a bowler
is considered great on the measure of how well he can adapt himself to the
conditions. Yes ,its all about conditions in cricket and that’s what makes it
interesting. You might have seen many great batsman struggle on overseas series
and many bowlers could not find their rhythm ,the conditions actually plays a
major role in their failure . Dew , turn ,bounce , cracks , grass ,dryness
,moisture are the factures according to which a player craft his skills so as
to perform well on that particular surface and that’s the reason why team plays
some practice matches at their overseas tour so as to get themselves acquainted with the conditions .
You might often wonder why
cricketers use to practice when the only thing they have to do is just play
their best cricket . That’s very true that they have to play their best but
what could be the best play on that particular pitch is what they prepare for . That’s why
everything small thing matter when it comes to condition ,whether it is winning
the toss and electing to bat or bowl or getting the advantage of the surface to
swing and bounce the ball or to adjust your bat speed and shot selection.
No other sport get that much
affected by conditions as do the cricket .The way how bowlers take advantage of
the situation and how batsman respond to it a treat to watch .
