Jadeja & Axar - both lefties seem to be doing just fine
you do realise we didnt select anyone to take advantage of the doctored pitch, ie no left arm spinners or leg spinners
So you still believe it is doctored?
absolutely, not as though our left handers batted long enough to find out though, scared us into dropping Head for a right hander, of course it was doctored. got your head in the sand if you think it wasnt. imagine if a country started leaving one end green for the quicks and one end dry for the spinner, is that doctoring? IMO when you start preparing sections of the pitch in a different manner thats blatant doctoring

leaving one end green for the quicks and one end dry for the spinner. Stealing my stuff now? Said that a couple of pages back.
Lets not forget the Gabba 2 day test recently [emoji38]
1. Gabba test is irrelevant to whether the Nagpur pitch is 'doctored'.
2. Given the strength of RSA's pace attack the Gabba pitch wasn't particularly to our advantage, heading in to the match. Also I hardly think the board wanted a 2-day test. Just a howler from the grounds staff.

Lyon 1/101 off of 39
A smart offie with intelligence and the ability to mix things up. Has probably hastened the demise of Lyons test career, cos I know who should remain in the XI when we play on pitches where only one spinner is required.
