Why are all Pakistani wickets so horrible? It’s either roads or minefields with little in between.

Crap soil, poor preparation, middle of winter

 

[BazBall21]

He's lucky Bairstow got to 100 because there won't be any one else in contention for worst player to play that many once Brathwaite gets there

Latham will be in contention

 

[BazBall21]

Pakistan still definite favourites but at least an interesting game might be developing. This might be because of India's home dominance but rank turners seem to quite often produce very messy defeats instead of tight contests.

 

[Beamer]

More shameful batting, just look at the dismissals in this match. Pakistan are nearly as bad.

Kraigg is giving them easy singles to long off though, I just don't get it. It's exactly what happened in the first test, where this partnership literally was the difference.

 

[govinda indian fan]

West indies lead by nine runs

 

[GotSpin]

Where the worrican haters at

 

[govinda indian fan]

Two day test

Say what you want about Pakistan's new pitch philosophy, it's sure making for infinitely more interesting games than before.

But but when india produces rank turners- oh these indians killing test cricket ashwin and jadeja are crap
When pakistan produce rank turners- oh these pakistanis making test cricket interesting
Sajid and nouman are great bowlers
Hypocrisy

You should direct these comments to someone who actually thinks this. I've really really enjoyed India's rank turner era, it's made for fantastic viewing. I just think it's very stupid strategy as India can't actually bat on turners!

 

[trundler]

Pretty terrible to concede a lead after having the opposition 54/8. I'm not sure what normal Pakistani pitches would be like as historically they've been roads and when they've tried make them not be roads *this* happens.

Cool mate it was not directed at you. Agree we are not good these days on rank turners you are right india needs more balanced pitches

Normal pakistan pitches are roads like those between 1970s to 2000s. Back then you had like of imran wasim waqar and shoaib who used to run through line ups and outbowl opposition bowling attacks . Shaheen and nassem aren't great comperd to greats i have mentioned so rank turners are good as of now but will sure backfire one day as india found out

 

[TimAngas]

What a farce. If you have one Test out of the two on a minefield sure, but to not reward proper batsmanship throughout the series is really poor.

What proper batsmanship?
Sure, this pitch isn't easy to bat on. However, proper test batting would make a big difference!

 

[Aritro]

Just checked the score for the first time Windies were 8-fa. OMFG they have a first innings lead! Rally. Around. The ****ing West Indies.

 

[Silver Silva]

West Indies should just reverse the batting order at this point...

Let Warrican and Motie take the shine off the new ball

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Pitch difficulty: expert level

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

How hard is it to put bat on ball? Motie has to show the others how to play spin lol. I expected Kraigg to bat until the cows come home
