3 min read

“No one said a word about the pitch when India had no chance.” With these phrases spin legend Shane Warne on Sunday silenced former England captain Michael Vaughan who had slammed the floor used for the second Test at Chepauk.
Seeking to stage the four-match Test collection after their defeat within the opener, the Indian spinners, particularly Ravichandran Ashwin, had the English batsmen on the ropes on the second day of the second match on a pitch that’s providing the tweakers vicious flip and bounce.
It all began with a tweet by Vaughan after the England innings started to crumble in reply to India’s first-innings complete of 329 all out.
“It’s entertaining cricket as things are happening all the time but let’s be honest this Pitch is a shocker .. Not making any excuses as India have been better but this isn’t a Test Match 5 day prepared Pitch …” Vaughan tweeted.
In response, Warne identified that India opener Rohit Sharma, together with his sensible 161 on the primary day, Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant confirmed easy methods to bat on this type of a floor and added that the situations have been similar for each the groups.
“Come on maaaaaate! The last few days of the 1st test, the wicket started exploding & no one said a word about the pitch when India had no chance. At least this test it’s been the same for both teams from ball one. Eng bowled poorly & Rohit, Pant and Jinx showed how to bat,” Warne wrote.
In one other submit on the social networking web site, the Australian spin nice mentioned, “There’s no diff between the ball seaming/spinning to much. We always want a fair contest between bat/ball.”
“India have batted & bowled better than Eng in this match – simple. Conditions have been the same for both sides from ball one. But this is excessive & in favour of the ball.”

It’s entertaining cricket as issues are occurring on a regular basis however let’s be sincere this Pitch is a shocker .. Not making any excuses as India have been higher however this isn’t a Test Match 5 day ready Pitch … #INDvENG

Earlier, Vaughan, who is kind of energetic on social media, had mentioned, “It didn’t do anywhere near as much for 2 sessions … Spun but not like what it’s doing now … India would have drawn the first Test if they had batted anything like in the 1st innings … This isn’t a good Test match pitch.”
On his half, Warne reiterated that India performed higher on the primary two days.
“The toss was extra vital to win within the 1st take a look at than this one, because it did nothing the first 2 days. Then exploded.
This one has been a turner from ball one.

Meanwhile, former England batsman Kevin Pietersen thought it was courageous on India’s half to arrange a rank turner of this type.
“Such a brave wicket to prepare for a Test match In India when India are down in the series. If India had lost the toss, they’d have gone down 2-0. Very very brave! Well tossed, @imVkohli,” Pietersen tweeted.
