Which battle you would love to watch -- India-Pak or England-Sri Lanka

At one point when flipping channels, one saw five wickets down for both India and Sri Lanka.

But while Sri Lanka were battling it out at less than 100 for five against England at Kandy, India had accumulated more than 500 at Kolkatta.

Now which match, as neutral spectator, would you like to watch. The one where bowlers are mauled, or the one which gives everybody equal chance.

Geoffrey Boycott may have mooted the idea of holding day and night matches to entice more viewers, but the problem mostly boils down to sporting pitches.

What one saw at Kolkatta is enough to put one to sleep. And it was not just the quality of the opposition bowling attack. Such pitches which make the side winning the toss dominate so much, are certainly no good for test cricket.

Viewers might refuse to watch even day night matches if such batting paradises make the bowling hell for the fielding side, and viewing nightmarish for the fans.
