I disagree with both of you there. Well apart from Eden Gardens, Calcutta none of the other stadiums are of that much importance in the international stage. Therefore I think EG should be kept as a permanent venue for every test series that is played in India. Just like Lords is in Eng, and Melbourne is in AUS.
Then we should have a tier-1 of stadiums, who get matches more often than the other stadiums. This should include Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore and Mohali. The tier 2 stadiums comprise of all the other stadiums.
that is what i was trying to convey in my previous post !
MUMBAI,KOLKATA and CHENNAI are like the GABBA,MCG and SCG of Indian cricket
Prsahant (sachinisgod) , I said Ahmedabad must be allotd more of ODIs bcoz we rarely get huge crowds for test matches at Ahm`bad but r certainly ensured of a huge crowd in ODIs (just hve a look at the match vs NZ in 2002)
I have seen quite a bit of test cricket now and have observed that the only stadia in India where we get huge crowds for test matches even on weekdays r Mumbai,Chennai and Kolkata (just roll back ur mind to the AUS test series in 2004 and series vs Sa )
We had a full house at the wankhede on a weekday in the recent test match which I do not think will happen at any of the other venues .
In any test series i England the 1st match is always played at Lords or in a series in AUS the first game is mostly played at the GABBA .
What is the harm in having a system where the first game of an India test series is always played at Mumbai or Chennai .
As regards to kanpur, the pitch there would rarely produce results

Here We go again?So shahid You always seem to be giving india credit although Being a pakistani You do support india abit or back India abit,But I havent I mean I haven seen one indian admit That indian crowd sucks!I mean Come on My Indian Friends Even Though knowing That the Crowd Did not behave well You Indian friends say No There wasn't even Abit of A problem With the crowd. I mean Look at shahid For example,He does support pakistan being as A pakistani But He is Also being Fair Too both sides,Once I said India is going to lose both odi's and Test matches,but shahid came up with a different reply Saying that india will win the Test series,But yet again If you see a india such as sachinisgod for example He would never He would never I mean will say that indian crowd Was not fair or The india team Will not have a chance winning Againts pakistan. When ever Some one Call a fair shot for example pak cricketer said kolkatan crowd wasnt supporting the pakistani team right,but then sachinisgod comes up with this long topic oh india was so good india was supporting pakistan chennia crowd was at it is best ganguly was the best india team is the best pakistan sucks pakistan is this pakistan is that,Why are you guys acting like this?For sake of god stop this
I read one of these funny yet stupid looking posts of fardin on this forum yet again . I thought this was quite a suitable place to respond .
Fardin U say we indians never speak fair , just read this whole thread and u will find most of us agreeing to the fact that Pak have a better chanc in the ODIs but it is u who never agree that India r the fav in the tests . What sachinisgod said about the MAC crowd`s gesture in 1999 was absolutely correct . I don`t think u must hve seen it as i doubt whether u would have been born in 1999 looking at ur posts . U seem to be giving us examples of shahid`s posts but do u remember the way u used foul language to insult shahid in the Pak in Aus thread . Shahid is by far the most unbiased member in this forums ! His r the most matured looking posts and Iam sorry to say , urs are the most childish ones !
When did any of us indian members in the forum say `Pakistan team sucks` ??? most of us have always been saying , pakistan r one of the most talented sides in world cricket
fardin , start posting something sensible or ur rep will stay the way it is now
crowd riots can take place at any ground especially during Indo-Pak matches
It even happened in Pak in India`s 1989 tour to Pak .
What makes the gesture by the chennai crowd in 1999 even more commendable is that Indo-Pak relations were not th best during those times (no peace talks and things lik that in 1999)
