What is the match in which dhoni scored183 runs and where?
the simple reason is that pitches which have cracks on them are good for spinners ...cracks and roughs help ball to grip the pitch and it gives better contact to turn the ballwhile pitches good for fast bowlers are flat, hard with some grass on it so ball can have a good pace, bounce and occasional slight movements.on the other hand roughs slower down the speed
My opinion is that a good pitch is one that will be able to last for 5 days, with the quick bowlers and batsemn having the advantage for the first 3 days with the spinners coming into play on the last day or 2.
I think the reason spin friendly pitches are seen as bad is because they are pitches that generally crumble very early and never last 5 days. Take the test between Australia and India in Mumbai in 2004. That pitch was an absolute shocker and only rain on day 1 helped the test last as long as it did. A pitch were 200 is the best score of the match is disgraceful.
