It's a shame that was the wicket that was super flat as Karachi and Lahore are far more naturally flatter.
My point is more about the general Pak and PCB attitude about this series tbh. They have shown a very very defensive attitude for some reason.
Probably everyone watching is hoping they do, 8 an over with 6 in hand would be about evens in a 20/20.
These are negative pitches simply not good for the game. Even the flattest of roads in Ind/SL/Bang offers turn on day 5.
Let's hope one of them bops Mitchell Starc over his head for 6.
There has been big turn on Day 5 in this Test. It's basically a 'normal' flat deck. It's fine IMO, especially given it's usually like this. Lumping it in with the first Test is unfair.
Do you see shades of that Jo'berg test in 2013 here?
I think 120 in 15 on a deck which is offering at least some turn (if slow turn) is a very difficult situation, no matter how much T20 exists. Especially when Pakistan hasn't got much after these two.
A last ball bop would take this series from terrible to legendary instantly
You should. He’s a ****
Especially if it was Babar bopping Cummins over long on. It's really been #building to this.
He also said this is one of the greatest innings you will ever see and that Babar has not put a foot wrong all innings - guy got away with 5 lives in like 3 overs there, in between, apart from however many run out chances were there.
Tbf the kiwi accent sounds like someone has just had major dental work
