Because he was a bit 'different' England struggled a bit against him two years back. Now that they have had a look at him, he doesn't represent mystery, let alone on this highway/runway.

Incredible stat , almost unheard of in Test cricket ..More wickets than Maidens and they haven't taken many !

Only 50 overs have been bowled today ..
Tough tough conditions for bowling. Imagine playing 5 test series in these conditions

And you questioned my theory that Salman’s average may be somewhat exaggerated by feasting on these roads….

Arbar has bowled 24 overs for 123 runs if he is their best spinner then cupboard must be bare in Pakistan spin bowling department

England are essentially playing 12 tests over barely 5 months. If you think of the West Indies series that started in Mid-July that's a heck of a lot of cricket in a short period of time. There was hardly a break between Windies/SL and they barely had any time after the SL series before landing in Pakistan. There was criticism over the lack of a warm-up game, but how the blazes do you fit one in given the circumstances. They barely finish in Pak and they are off to NZ. I reckon a fairly easy 2-0 win for NZ is inevitable given this.

It'll be a rarity if it stays that way. One prior instance of 1 maiden in 70+ overs and one instance of a completely maidenless such team effort, which turned out to be in the infamous 'catch the boat home' test of 1939.
That said I expect quite a few innings would have one or no maidens at this stage, before gathering a few more when the tailenders come in.

I didn't bring up Salman , I only highlighted that not all Asian pitches are the same.

Yes you are right all asian pitches are not same Pak pitches are roads with nothing for bowlers while indian/sl pitches have something for bowlers esp spinners

Since pak pitches are ultra flat they need express pace and little bit of extra zip to get wickets thats why pak produce so many pacers and leg spinners while india and sl have so many off spinners since there is some hel from the pitch

Brook doing some weird stretches at the start of his innings and after tea. Wonder if he has a niggle?
