Criticised in many quarters for his demands for turning tracks in the ongoing Test series against England, beleaguered Mahendra Singh Dhoni got unexpected support from visiting team off-spinner Grame Swann who said there is nothing "strange" about the Indian skipper's request.

"It is not strange for a home team to ask for a wicket to suit their team. We do that when we play in England because we want it to suit our bowlers. The fact that we have won the last two Tests is a testimony about how well we have played and not a lot to do about the pitch," Swann said here today, two days before the start of the fourth and final Test of the series in which the visitors are leading 2-1.
