In the brown of health
The pitch for the first Test against England at Nagpur is brown and bare with no trace of moisture, writes K Shriniwas Rao in The Indian Express. No chance of a repeat of the infamous 2004 greentop then!
For good measure, the groundsmen have been asked to work on the pitch with a scarifier, a thin-bladed mower that cuts grass to the minimum and loosens the soil. If anymore grass (the little dry blades that are difficult to sight) is removed, it will only be pulled out along with the soil.
