Hamilton readies fast track

After a harrowing experience on a lively Basin Reserve pitch in the first Test, the tourists might have to face a similar challenge at Hamilton8217;s Westpac Park, venue for the second and final match of the series.

India struggled on a seamer friendly track to score 161 and 121 in the Wellington Test and were handed a 10-wicket drubbing.

The Westpac groundsman sounded a warning saying even a faster and bouncier track would welcome the visitors there.

8220;The bounce on them practice wickets is the highest I have ever had 8211; they are going through the roof. Hopefully that will be reflected on the main pitch,8221; said groundsman Doug Strachan according to New Zealand Cricket8217;s website.
