What type of pitch will India want in Guwahati?

After the events of Kolkata , how will Guwahati play out? What kind of pitch can we expect at the Barsapara Stadium ? What do India , 1-0 down after losing to South Africa inside three days on an Eden Gardens pitch with deadly uneven bounce, want from the surface?

Two days out from the second India-South Africa Test , this much can be said about the Guwahati pitch: it is a red-soil surface with an even covering of grass -- similar to the one used in Ahmedabad for the first Test against West Indies last month, though less green, and a certain amount of grass is likely to be mown off before the match begins. The pitch was watered on Thursday afternoon.

These signs point to certain intentions: for a pitch that provides bounce and holds together well at least for the first two days
