Ghanta...   Why do you think I said being faceted in all 3 department equally instead of one attribute is a requirement for pakistan then? Seems like the SA vs PAK match youre looking at hasnt been properly looked into by you. Here let me help.

 

PAK vs SA 1st test (Karachi) - Nauman and Yasir were the bowling heroes

 

PAK vs SA 2nd test (Pindi) - Hasan and Shaheen were the bowling heroes

 

In both games Pakistan and SA had a total of 15 batsmen who scored 50+ runs in an innings, contributing to the batting attribute available by the pitch.

 

In both games SA's Rabada, Nortje and Maharaj worked. 

 

Is Pindi's pitch made more of a road then usual? Yes. Why? because Rawalpindi has rain forecasted, and this move by PCB will push the game for a result.

 

Otherwise usually Pakistan pitches need 1 superstar batsman, 1 superstar pacer and 1 superstar spinner. And the more all rounders, the merrier.

Abe lodu this is what I exactly was saying jaahil...  You are the one saying this is a typical Pakistani pitch which brings all three facets into play...  Now that has been cleared that it is a pathetic pitch by everyone you are clutching straws & doing mental gymnastics now.   I didn't say Karachi & Pindi wickets were poor vs SA...  I said those were different...  One assisted spin & other was good for pace..  This is neither. It's pathetic excuse of a pitch & Ghanta result oriented.   Either Aussies implode otherwise it has draw written all over it.

No matter how flat the pitch might be, there's always a scoreboard pressure. Hope Australia don't lose early wickets tomorrow because there's only one team that can win from here, which is Pakistan .

It's not over until both sides have batted..  If Warner gets going on this pitch...  Aussies can pile up the runs as well & set up a interesting day 5 too.  Pakistan with its faltu phattu batting approach hasn't batted Australia out of the game despite Batting for 2 full days.

lot is going to depend on Labu and God (Smith).

FVCKKKK Khawaja Dropped off shaheen's ball

Really? Khawaja really looks class in Asia so far. He is 36 now though.

[Lone Wolf]

Australia batting aggressively...  Shaheen is bowling attacking lines & is going for a few.  This Taklu spinner is so mediocre though 

[Lone Wolf]

Shaheen bowling around 140-142 so far.. 

[AuxiliA]

Pakistan might have shot itself in the foot by batting too slowly on a flat pitch. 470 isn't much on a pancake. Australia can very well get a decent 1st inning lead and put pressure on Pak. 

[Lone Wolf]

This Taklu is staring Warner...  Such a comedy look..  Reminds me of Lahore Qalandar Taklu in their theme music video

[Jay]

Pakistan missing Hassan and faheem

[Lone Wolf]

Naseem hasn't breached 90mph so far...  He is hitting the pitch hard but Shaheen is as quick & looking more lethal. 

Pakistan has to make this morning session count.

i blame internal racism. If you go to see cricket clubs in australia there's soooooooooooooooo many indians andpaki and asians in general playing the sport, yet the only brown man to have debuted is ussie. Hell you'll find such a limited amount in the fc setup too.

 

anyways yeh Fawad who is usually a brilliant fielder just dropped an easy one in slips

the real question is why he did that...

beg to differ. an avg of <20 in SL + Bang and well-known issues vs spin. UAE pitches don't offer much spin - mostly slow & dead tracks. if he played in india, ashwin-jaddu-axar would destroy him.

arey mamoo zara idhar tou dekh, apni desh ki tactics to try stopping the Ws 

 

Abe lodu toh sidha bol na fuddu pitch hai...  Fattt kyu rahi hai teri.. 

[Vijy]

is hassan ali injured? on this type of pitch, he is much more useful than naseem (who has a test bowling avg of 44).

[Lone Wolf]

This is what Naseem needs to do...  Go full on Wagner against them.

shadab, faheem and hasan injured (aka islamabad united team)

seems to me that subcontinent players are terrible wrt injuries. so many on both sides of the border.

I'm fine with him dishing out to loudmouths like Warner. Khawaja on the other hand is a relatively nice bloke.

True. Average of 41 still quite good career overall. He has played some clutch

With rain forecast today and tomorrow. Looks like a draw.
