all sorts of funny rumblings about what's being prepared and who's making that decision.
a lay of india seems the only sensible approach at the moment given the unknowns. |

Call for rank turners 'immoral' - Eden Gardens curator
ESPNcricinfo staff December 1, 2012 Comments: 95 | Login via | Text size: A | A MS Dhoni and Amit Mishra examine the pitch at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, February 12, 2010 Prabir Mukherjee: "Why does Dhoni want a square turner on the first day? Then why are you selling tickets for five days? It's immoral" (file photo) © AFP Enlarge Related Links Players/Officials: MS Dhoni Series/Tournaments: England tour of India Teams: England | India Grounds: Eden Gardens Prabir Mukherjee, the Eden Gardens curator, has strongly criticised MS Dhoni's call for turning pitches, calling it "immoral", and even sought a month's leave from work. However, by Saturday evening, the Cricket Association of Bengal had convinced Mukherjee to come back to work. The developments came less than a week before India's Kolkata Test against England, and days after the BCCI deployed Ashish Bhowmick, a member of its grounds and pitches committee from Tripura, to "assist" in the preparation for the Test that starts on December 5. The series between India and England is tied at 1-1 after India lost on a square turner in Mumbai, with their spinners taking nine wickets between them even as Monty Panesar and Graeme Swann shared 19. "Why does Dhoni want a square turner on the first day? Then why are you selling tickets for five days? It's immoral," Mukherjee told CNN-IBN. Mukherjee said he didn't like the way the whole issue was handled. "I have not resigned but asked for a month's leave," he said. "I am not loving this atmosphere and not happy that the Cricket Association of Bengal did not support me." Dhoni and Mukherjee have famously struggled to get along as professionals. Last year, after India beat England in an ODI in Kolkata, Dhoni said the pitch was an "ugly wicket". Mukherjee then responded by saying, "Pitches don't score runs, batsmen do." It was also reported that Mukherjee had made disparaging comments about Dhoni's demands for specific pitches. He is reported to have asked for written official instruction if he was to prepare a pitch that began turning and bouncing on day one. I think this tells you all you need to know. |

Another used wicket being used apparently. 4 day game played on it a few weeks ago. Dhoni finally getting his way after years of complaining.

By:
Tricky test to bet on here without watching any play but gonna start of with a lay of india at 2.18 cant see this being a train atall so thats my starting point
Think who ever wins toss and bats 1st huge advantage there |
|
By:
Draw price down to 2.72 pre match.Have the punters not learnt anything from the first Test between these two sides ? I fully expect the wicket to do more than is being anticipated by the majority of pundits.

Had a pop at ENG at 4.9.
Most bookies around 4 and ENG have shown they can win. Bound to trade lower at some point |
|
By:
just seen market
 5 clear days early start and floodlights if required not sure they will be used at 4pm in the day at scheduled close  |
|
By:
Yeah Draw price looks waay too short here
|
|
By:
draw does look rather short at present england maybe represent the value as they stuffed India last match and 2.3 verses 4.9

Gone for an opening gambit of
IND +4 ENG +10 DRAW -10 Don't usually like getting involved before a ball is bowled but this looks worth an early punt |
|
By:
fair play nigel, guess ball will seem around with early starts so plenty of chances there
 |
|
By:
hopefully - always dangerous getting involved early - hope I don't regret it. Draw train to 1 always possible.
|
|
By:
probably the best chance of a draw all series at this venue with the light going so quick in the
afternoons and the curator outside the BCCIs influence. hoping it goes v low v quick  |
|
By:
Had a nice lay of india at 2.18 backed them back at 2.32 stuck the green on england at 4.8 and some more think they to big a price got quite a nice looking board to start with got a little bit of margin for error to trade with
|
|
By:
will be light at 4pm scheduled close maybe betfair put a market up flood lights used yes/no
|
|
By:
backed it earlier today at 3.3 , hoping to lay it odds on.
|
|
By:

You can thank me later old chap. |

By:
pitch looks cracked! wait and see.

By:
if it's guna be spitting everywhere and u have 3.25 the draw, a back of eng at 5.7 (or 6.6 after 10 balls) is the way to go imo
|

By:

The pitch
The word wicket is also sometimes used to refer to the cricket pitch itself. According to the Laws of Cricket, this usage is incorrect, but it is in common usage and commonly understood by cricket followers. This usage probably derives from the days when the outfield was kept short by grazing sheep on it and the playing surface, which was specially prepared, was protected from them by a light wicker fence around it. Since many regular grounds had resident bat-makers it is quite possible that the branches cut off from the willow wood used for the bats formed all or part of this fence.[citation needed] |
