Amen. #playedontoomanyseamerfriendlypitches #spinnerdidntevenbowl— Pat Symcox (@PatSymcox77) November 26, 2015 Some wicket in Nagpur for #INDvSA. India lead by 136 after scoring 215 in the 1st dig.

Not seeing much of this at the moment #heavilyfavouringspin— Robin John Peterson (@robbie13flair) November 26, 2015 This pitch in Nagpur is nothing short of diabolical for Test Cricket ... Telling me that was prepared to last 5 days..!!!!!!!!!!— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) November 26, 2015
