Barring one test and a session here and there, this has been pathetically uncompetitive.

'S the batting, innit? Pakistan's bowling, as a unit, is up there with the world's best (IMHO, obv) but the batting is sub-gash.

Genuinely think Bangladesh's batting with Pakistan's bowling would be more competitive.

Fair call. Think the UDRS has been a triumph, myself.

Was mildly skeptical, but now the captains have got used to it and (mostly) only refer the genuine howlers it's been a godsend.

Faintly farcical that it won't be used in India when yer crims tour. :mellow:

Do we know when the next Bangladesh v Pakistan series is? On the evidence of this season that could be genuinely competitive.

I think if you're making contact with the ball you're probably not just playing with the pads. Anyway I'll admit it's unenforcable and probably wrong.

Not "just" playing with the pads, but playing with the pads nonetheless.

Totally agree re: UDRS, too.

Yeah, we were saved by a guy who averages 28 with the bat in Tests, for shame.

Yet to see you make a worthwhile post tbh.

Batting down to 9 is a strength, if you want to mock us for it, that's fine

:laugh: It generally helps yes.

But sure, keep whinging if you want, what do you expect us to do? Ask our number 8-11 to not try and score runs? Just go pad up to straight balls? 8-)
