How good is the Pakistan Team right now? (AKA the Pakistani climate thread)

[smash84]

the English will make the mistakes this time around

itbt I can't see us getting past 300 too many times

It would be interesting watching anyone play in 50 degree heat, that's 122 degree Fahrenheit.

Come down to Multan sometime. It's not 50, but is around 40.

Multan? I thought you were in the UK mate. I can't stand anything above 20 never mind 40.

It gets to 50 easily in the summers in Multan

All my relatives are in Multan (don't have any relatives in the UK), and we visit nearly every year during the summers. Bloody hot down there, especially when you just get in a car before the AC has cooled it down.

I don't know if they play cricket in the summers in Multan, but it would be horrible to play a test there.

Yes I was just looking at the average temps throughout the year, bloody 42 in June that's nuts. Man I could just imagine jumping into a car with a leather interior over there, you'd stick to it, literally.

At least it never gets to be 50. Just asked my cousin if they ever play matches in Multan in the summer and he said that maybe at the domestic level for short games or in the evenings, but at International level they wouldn't even dream of it. So hot that no one would survive an ODI, let alone a test match.

 

[Jacknife]

That's the average though, so I bet there is days where it could potentially be up around that 50 mark,

Was the Asia Cup in 2008 not played at a really stupid time of year?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Yeah it was played in June, but only two venues were used, Lahore and Karachi. Karachi is next to the sea so I think that would be OK, but Lahore is still pretty hot in the summers.

Climate of Multan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

highest recorded temperature there is 50 degrees celsius in 2010. It is near Jacobabad so I thought it was as hot as jacobabad.Turns out it is somewhat cooler.

You see where your travel plans are going wrong there, don't you?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Lol, yeah, but someone in the family always has exams in January so can't go in the winter holidays.

Was that filmed in Multan or something?

Yeah I'll let you know when I'm in Multan next. Where are you normally based in Pakistan?

Edit: Was just listening to the song and it mentioned Multan

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Multan is also famous for its Halva.

i was born and grew up in multan

they played a test against bangladesh in august. learnt their lesson. and it does get to fifty in may/june. mebbe not in the shade, and not as often as is claimed but it's immaterial.

edit: a meetup in multan is incomplete without trying some proper 'pappu kay tikkay' :P

Lol, who changed the title of the thread.

Me. I was getting sick of opening it and expecting cricket discussion.
