Yeah, I think there's a serious horticultural problem going on thereNot just the pitch, outfield is also extremely patchy - might be some form of disease in grass

There is a lot left too be honest . Mark my words " Kaneria will make a match out of it " !!Interesting that Nazir and Sami probably kept this game alive for us, but now they're in a position to lose it for us as well.

Pitches like this and the ones with the run - mountains ,both are not suitable for test cricket . A good pitch is the one which gives support to every aspect of the game through out the 5 days .Cricket would be a lot better if there were more pitches like this. What does test-quality mean anyway? Just because there are no run-mountains being piled up doesn't mean the pitch is defective.
That's pretty much bang-on FrazPitches like this and the ones with the run - mountains ,both are not suitable for test cricket . A good pitch is the one which gives support to every aspect of the game through out the 5 days .
A traditional good pitch in my opinion is the one which is a little bouncy in the morning session and gives enough to the fasties and the post-lunch session should be helpful for the middle-order to consolidate and the pitch should start turning after day 3 .. Thats what I call a good pitch . It's not like, these pitches are not so common .
Still SA game's but it gives Pakistan something to hope about.Smith gone! Thought initially it might have pitched outside leg, but looking at the hawkeye strip it's fine. Can Pakistan pull this off?
