In his syndicated column, Anil Kumble writes that the Kotla pitch fiasco could have been avoided if a couple of Ranji games had been played on the same re-laid surface. The criticism of the slow surfaces during the Champions League ought to have alerted the curators to pay more attention but sadly, the public and the fans got cheated. Read on in the Hindustan Times.
The answer to such things is to professionalise matters. It's the only way to bring in accountability. Under the existing system, the secretaries, curators, pitch committee none can be held accountable. Get the pros in, make them accountable and you will see the changes happening for the good.
