Shreevats Goswami calls Ranchi pitch a nightmare for bowlers
Ex-RCB player says flat pitches in white-ball cricket are killing bowling careers.
Shreevats Goswami didn't mince words after West Indies chased 249 at Ranchi. The former RCB wicketkeeper says batters get everything, and bowlers just get punished.

Michael Clarke traces the problem straight to the IPL's shadow over venue curators.
