Comments have now been closed for this article It's a shame that pitches in India offer almost nothing to the bowlers, despite promises to the contrary by the BCCI. No wonder matches involving India produce the most draws in the last few years. However, if the previous match played at the Sardar Patel Stadium (against Sri Lanka in Dec. 2005) is anything to go by, Harbhajan Singh (10/141) and Anil Kumble (7/176) may enjoy bowling here. South Africa were routed by Javagal Srinath on a crumbling pitch in 1996. Let's hope we get some good cricket and more importantly, a result-oriented pitch. Here's wishing both teams the very best!
