Three of your quicks - Ishant, Yadav and Shami - are good at pace and bounce. BK likes the swinging/seaming surfaces. Reguarding your batsmen they have had plenty of trips outside India to get accustomed to bounce.
coffee_rules Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 For all the chest-thumping..India has just won 1 match more than Pak in Aus (4 to Pak, 5 to India). We have more drawn matches..

Vilander Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 30 minutes ago, sarcastic said: Actually, the correct reasoning is when there is lateral movement the Pakistani bowlers are very good and can bowl the opposition out cheaply. This way, the batsmen when they click together may sneak in a victory for the team. In case of India, batsmen are troubled by the lateral movement more and the record in not that great. It is alright in Australia where pace and bounce are the only issues. I mean, Indian batsmen are good there and even if their bowlers are so-so, they might sneak in a victory or two like Adelaide 03 and Perth 08. Puts the 2007 Eng win in perspective, real good one that.

Is there any cricket ground in Gilgit Baltistan area ? or NWFP. Could be a bouncy strip for Pakistan.
sandeep Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Sialkot used to be a pacer friendly pitch. I think lack of $$$ has had a real impact on facilities in Pakistan. No home series with anyone, no India tour - that translates to a 70% reduction in $$$ at a minimum. Plus the board officials will mooch off a big chunk, so not much left for the actual cricket.
Tibarn Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Considering how the last Test went, I wouldn't expect much from Pak's batsmen.
sandeep Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Pak as expected is giving up a bunch of wickets to spin. Outside of Younis, they are not that good against quality spin. 2nd Innings will be more of the same.

That is what happens one of the most mentally fragile side faces the mentally strongest side in their own den. Australia can always come back. Remember Gilchrist/Langer partnership to register an improbable win and one test where they dropped Hussey and ended up losing the test. Vilander 1

This one actually was the funniest of all on their last tour. They were chasing 170 only and had a big mental collapse to Nathan Hauritz. Lost by 36 runs to lose the sydney test. http://m.espncricinfo.com/ausvpak09/engine/current/match/406200.html Vilander 1

Cricketics Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 They came close. Took the game to the last day. Agli baar shayd mauka firse aayega. coffee_rules 1
coffee_rules Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 probably they had to survive 20 more overs?
chewy Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 This has to be the most pathetic losing streak in Test cricket Its Bangladeshesque Cricketics 1
kira Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Even Lanka have 1 drawn match in Australia in the last 20 years, absolutely pathetic from Pakistan, minnows in the Southern Hemisphere 3-0 in South Africa, 2-0 in NZ , 3-0 in Australia G_B_, chewy and Cricketics 3

Sandeep99 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 4 consecutive whitewashes should also be some sort of a record?

I mean visiting records usually really suck but this one is on par. Even Lanka is sometimes able to draw a game, so losing 4 series in a row in last 20+ years by same 3-0 is really a massively bad run. I think, and I won't be surprised after Chappel's comment that CA might actually ask PCB for future tours to be of only 2 test games.
