[Lone Wolf]

Maula Jatt and Katappa the heroes 

[Lord]

Game wasn't important enough. Else Stokes would've won it for them

[Iconoclast]

Stupid PCB bastards finally learned to make a pitch that suits the home team.

 

Too late now you already lost most your fans.

Probably Babar ordered roads.

Shows the value of right selection than value of stardom

First test pitch unpardonable. Heads must roll for that. 

 

Especially after what we saw Eng do in 2022 tour on pattas. 

 

Bazball should never be allowed pattas.

So happy yo see baazballers getting exposed. Now they will cry about pitch.

Don't think so..  they usually cry and whine only when they tour Ind (whom they consider a top team).

Pak (being a minnow level team) & even SL are irrelevant to them.

It was clearly made to protect Babar. Most of recent pitches there and under rameez were made flat for him

 

Hope this test is a lesson to Pakistan, and to encourage red ball players

Exactly, You are playing to opposition. Whats point of Home series or away series if Curators cant make the pitch to their Home Teams advantage. Instead of blaming players, PCB needs to introspect .

 

Knowing Pakistanis, I know most of them find some sort of relationship/acquantance when it comes to elite tier of Pakistan. Nepotism at extreme level. Hence, nothing will change. All their fans can hope is that their management has learned the lesson

[Frustrated]

3rd test will also be played on same pitch.  Eng will be 80-100 All Out in both innings.  

[Frustrated]

One week ago, Harry Potter was averaging 300 in Pak.    Now his avg has come down crashing like a free flowing parachute.

Just checked.  I think u are right.  Cricbuzz showing pindi.  But I came across on SM that it will be multan.  Dont trust SM.

Pooks should cite safety concern and hold 3rd test on this same pitch.

 

Some political protests in Isl/Pindi I think. PTI related. 

[Norman]

Poyzz finally break the winless streak on home soil that was going on for three years..

 

 

Now time for them to win the series..but i think Pindi wicket is going to favour poms.

[rollingstoned]

Nice, Babars replacement got a century on debut and the 2 oldies who seem to also be like able characters have spin then to victory. 

[putrevus]

I still think if these two spinners were playing instead of those overrated idiots in that carrom ball guy and Shaheen.Pakistanis might have done lot better in first test.

 

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They never lose more than 6 Tests in a row no matter how bad they are.

Babar should have never been dropped, playing a new comer should not come at the expense of your best batsman.

 

They made an idiot into captain.That is their biggest mistake.
