The Johannesburg track is testing and neither can be termed
as doctored or poor. It's nowhere near the Jamaica of 1998. For one crack on
the good length area people shouldn't join the bandwagon triggered by the big
guns.
If this track is poor then what about the Crater at WACA in
1996-97 or 2013-14? Or how would one term the tracks used in West Indies during
1988 and 1989 Test series against Pakistan and India? Or the Durban track of
1996-97 where Donald transformed into a demon against India?
Test cricket needs such tracks and I repeat, to make the
contest interesting, the batsmen are needed to be tested. You're enjoying the
best of Kohli only because of this track and nothing else. Tough conditions
bring out the best of champions and Kohli's 41 had been the best I've seen in
Tests for a while and without this track it would never have happened.
Before joining the bandwagon of the big guns, please, think,
study and then give your opinion.
Thank You
