Perhaps we are over-analyzing this. No matter who we are playing under, when it comes to playing on bouncy phoren wkts we run into this problem always. Only after playing a few games our players are able to adjust to the conditions. This has been going on for as long as i can remember and this isnt anything new. The only simple solution is that when we are to embark on tours to Aus/SA/NZ and to a certain extent WI we need to be there and play 3-4 matches on real bouncy tracks. BCCI should threaten, bribe, do whatever it takes to make this happen. Going straight into one-days/tests without a few practice games is a recipe for disaster.
