I am sick of teams not even trying to bowl their quota without any repercussions,there needs to be bans on players especially the captain or teams will continue to do it.

Why are they not taking the new ball. Did their pacers ran out of juice or is it due to their slow overrate.

Correct answer.
These tired trundlers are only good for 4 overs, anything more than that and they will start clucthing their heart

Need to start with Engurlund they do it home & away, plus most times deliberately so that opposition doesn't score too much!

[Tillu]

Even their past legends must have bowled with similar speeds. Now that we are measuring everything we are getting to know their asli aukaat.

Imagine showing this match to a newbie to get them interested in test cricket.  This is not a good advert for the game.  The Pakistan board needs to be punished for this pitch.  It's a disgrace.

They want their kids to not watch test cricket

After losing to USA in a WT20, I doubt they would want their kids to watch T20 either.
Goat-riding will make more sense.

Pakistani bowlers bowling at ther T20 opener strike rates.

[putrevus]

Have you seen a worst bowling attack than these bozos.

[CoverDrive]

Pak has dished up up flat ones but this might take the cake as the flattest pitch i have seen. There is just about no threat at all to batting here. The square also is made nice and green to negate any chance of ball scuffing up and getting any reverse. 

 

This is great for any kind of batsman. If you want to block all day or hit out do what you please

No bro, have to check that. Just posted from cricbuzz. 

At the most, Ponting had 4 away 100s in 2006. 3 in SA & one in BD.

[Stan AF]

Smith had 3 100s in India in 2017.  Should be a record equalling Alastair Cook.

Nope, the tracks they used for SL for most of 2k were even worse this series in particular -

Five or more Test hundreds in most calendar years
4 - Matthew Hayden (2001, 2002, 2003, 2005)
4 - Ricky Ponting (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006)
3 - Jacques Kallis (2004, 2007, 2010)
3 - Steven Smith (2014, 2015, 2017)
3 - Joe Root (2021, 2022, 2024)**

 

Joe Root in Test Cricket
2013 to 2020 - 17 hundreds
2021 to 2024 - 18* hundreds

This guy Root is batting on a different level. 
 

Last three years he has elevated himself into  GOAT level.

they are so afraid to lose that the are willing  to torture cricket watching public but still somehow lose anyway-this sums up the Pakistan existence.

Yes. Against BD on a pitch which was offering a lot they bowled worse. That speaks volumes.
