** Indian victory in Nz **

It was nice to see India win the cricket series quite convincingly and comprehensively in New Zealand. I am especially happy for Sachin and Rahul, for they once again demonstrated their skills and in the process has shut lot of mouths. Without taking anything away from the test and one day series victory, did you all notice about the discussion on "pitches" that were laid out for the Indians?? No seaming tracks that Nz is known for. Only once was a seaming track laid out, for an one day match, and India duly lost it. Why we did not get to see seaming tracks?? Not one test was played on a seaming track?? Anything to do with commercial aspect?? Whatever those aspects may be, a win is a win and I am happy that Indian cricket team did that. Congratulations.

I dont think there is any commercial aspect in that. Because when india toured NZ last time our bowling was not as fearsome as it is now whereas NZ had Bond, Tuffey and co who had chris martin (who finished as the highest wicket taker this time for NZ) as a third or fourth seamer. They played to their strength. This time, they feared such adventures bcos Zaheer and Ishant troubled the best in business in recent times
