Misbah and Younis have to score the runs here. They are the only real class players of spin. Asad should suit this pitch too as there isn't much bounce.
But there is spin and asad depises :farhat spin

what are you rattling on about this time? Bob makes a good point, a spinning pitch could have been requested after England's poor performance against spin in test one. Nothing wrong with what he said.

we won the toss and we batted thats 50/50 then England should take advantage of the spin as they have done

Didn't realise how much the pitch spun, may be good for Pakistan too.
300 may well be the target.

25th January 2012, 07:13
this spin won't last. worst thing that can happen is pakistan get 250-300 all out and england bat for all of days 2 and 3 because it will be dead flat. then we're trying to save the match for 2 days against these 2 spinners on days 4 and 5...
pls don't happen

why will it not last?
if anything the more the sun beats down and the wear/tear with bowlers running in on it, will get worse.

the sun isn't beating down anywhere right now. and most of the experts reckon this turn is down to unseasonal weather conditions creating moisture in the pitch. the pitch is then gripping and spinning. as always with this beautiful sport though, we don't really know.

should the ball not slide on/grip less if its a wet pitch?

i mean don't get me wrong, i hope it lasts and gets harder to bat on. however i think it's just do to some early moisture in the pitch (cold weather induced maybe) and i think the track will get better before it gets worse.
hope i'm wrong!
Desi
25th January 2012, 07:33

dew is different, that's a heck of a lot of moisture. this is (or could be rather, all just guesses) due to just inherent moisture in the pitch that will most likely vanish
bluffmasterv2
25th January 2012, 07:34

The pitch, imagine one of those made to order Indian wicket where they play 26 spinners and the highest any team ever gets to score is 150 at less than 2.50. Now imagine that pitch late on day 4 or early day 5, that's how this one has been behaving. The two wickets that fell were both to arm balls, both within 3 deliveries of close calls that were within a whisker of being out and both wickets were preceded by deliveries that turned almost 90 degrees.

Thanks guys. I wasn't expecting such a pitch tbh. Little help maybe but this sounds like on of those Indian pitches. Rank turners as Gambhir would say.

Really a good bowl or wrong shot selection trying to place across without getting to pitch of the bowl. That's another sad story but to be honest I want azhar & asad to do the work today as they have a lot to prove, to keep their places in the side. I am not going on them after fall of wickets but still I don't feel comfortable watching them.

Whenever YK starts scoring quickly in test cricket you know he going to loose his wicket I just had a feeling after he scored so many in the last 2-3 overs. I think when he looses his concentration he goes for shots and looses his wicket.

You rarely get a rank turner in India, usually a dead pitch for 3 days, and the ball does a bit for all the bowlers on the last 2 days.
really an interesting wicket they've prepared here. sporting rather than anything filthy.
