NZ is really pathetic team with even more defensive approach than pakistan. I am not sure how we keep loosing to them on so many occasion specially important matches.

 

Bad luck. In most of our losses they had favourable conditions, won crucial tosses, etc.

Don't understand this declaration, it is not bold as they did not go for leather when they had a chance to score more and give themelves more overs to bowl Pakistan out.

"Does the directive come from Babar, who wants to bat on a road & improve his stats": Simon Doull

 

It was going to be a bumper home Test season for Pakistan given teams like England and New Zealand were set to travel, however, all the excitement came crashing down from the first Test in Rawalpindi in December's first week against the Ben Stokes-led side. Thankfully, the new England team doesn't believe in playing draws, and hence defied a lifeless Rawalpindi pitch and managed to get a positive result out of it.

The pitches in Multan and Karachi for the second and the third Test were much better, however, the flat tracks returned for the New Zealand series and the captain and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have been under the scanner once again.

Due to logistical issues and weather in Multan, both matches were slated to be played in Karachi and it seemed that the pitches would play better if the third Test against England was any indication. But it wasn't to be as the match ended in a draw despite skipper Babar making it exciting by declaring with 15 overs to go. The pitch didn't deteriorate enough for bowlers to get any sort of assistance, somehow the captains and the team management are defying the tracks to get a result.

Similarly in the second game, New Zealand batted first and scored 449 runs and in response, the hosts scored 408 runs. These two innings took over 260 overs and nine sessions to get done with. Even though New Zealand have lost four wickets and have a lead of over 150 runs, the pitch doesn't have any demons to suggest that the bowlers will have any say as the visitors will have to take 10 wickets to get a result out of it.

Several former Pakistan, England and New Zealand cricketers have criticised PCB, team management and skipper, however, ex-pacer Simon Doull came up with a seething one during the live match. on Day 3, during Pakistan's first innings, Doull was talking about how pitches in domestic cricket are spicier in Pakistan compared to the ones produced for international cricket while saying, "Where does that directive [for the nature of pitches] come from? Does that come from Babar, who wants to bat on a road and improve his own stats or does it come from [the people] above him?"

There are still more than four sessions left and a result is still a possibility that looks bleak. New Zealand will hope for a match-turning spell from one of their bowlers to skittle the hosts in the final innings.

never understand NZ declarations. This is a chaseable target and what will NZ do with those extra wickets? andar daalenge?

If you have a captain like Babar, who cannot think beyond a drawn match , it was an obvious decision . Pakistan in all probability will lose.

Its about batting now. Not much of an effect Babars negative captaincy will have. cleary NZ screwed up last evening by not accelerating sooner and keeping wickets in hand
