Today’s NZ vs IND pitch report

“Captaining at this venue is difficult. It’s about dimensions, and back in that game (NZ v AUS, 2005) the pitch was up and down here, so you swung it around about 30 degrees. But you still had short areas. They’ve just changed from being in cow corners and the corners to straight up and down. The fast bowlers in particular get the ball going square.” – Stephen Fleming
