SIMILAR PITCH BUT NO SIMILAR RESULTS: ROOT
England skipper Joe Root on Wednesday said the pitch for the fourth and final Test against India looks very similar to the one on which his team was decimated in the third game but the visitors have learnt their lessons to be ready for the challenge starting Thursday.
India need to either draw or win the match to find a place in the World Test Championships final in June, while a win for England would revive some of the lost confidence after the thrashing inside two days in the third Test.
"It's (the pitch) looking very similar... I think the most important thing is that we learn all the lessons from the last two test matches and make sure we're back for it," Root said when asked about the raging debate over the pitch in the last Test and how this one was looking.
Root conceded that there is "no point talking about the pitches" as everyone has an opinion on what a good pitch should be. He said what his side would strive for is to play better than the opposition.
