Whats the point of these 5 day games if India loses at the end? BCCI should show its strength and get the test cricket scrapped off.
Okay jokes aside. But there has to be some reproducibility achieved in conditions. At one hand we have the seaming wickets in England on the other hand bouncing wickets in Australia, spinning in India and dead wickets in West Indies. A team is unbeatable in its own home and then gets annhilated abroad.
Hence it is called ‘Test’ Cricket because it really tests your ability as a batsman or bowler against different opposition on different surfaces under different conditions. The dominant West Indies and Aussie sides of the past were equally ruthless in home and away tests
It is the ultimate test of playing ability and endurance in the sport.

^How much money has Scyld Berry made? How many cricketers will come to play for his league. Look at great players like Shane Bond, Chris Gayle who has forsaken their international careers to play in IPL. Its India running the cricket world and its humilitaion in test cricket is not acceptable.
^^ In that case, this should be the law, all indian batters would have to be bowled out twice in a single innings including a total not out rule in first 25 overs.
The same is not applied on opposition.
