Cricket commentary exhibits an imbalance in judging pitches, with Indian surfaces facing disproportionate scrutiny compared to similar conditions elsewhere. While Indian pitches can be under-prepared, the narrative often moralizes them when they favor spin, historically India's strength. This contrasts with how pitches in other countries, like the recent two-day Ashes Test in Australia, are excused. Experts like Sunil Gavaskar advocate for a single standard for pitches globally, highlighting that home conditions are typically celebrated for their diversity.
