I know that they have more to worry about than their cricket team but when you watch the tests in Dubai or any of their temporary homes there is zero atmosphere. Does nothing for the games reputation. Tbf, Sharjah should be slightly better. Even when Pakistan played at home, they always held series in Sharjah since like the 1980s. Not sure why, but there's a longstanding connection there and so the crowds are always a bit better. Dubai is dead. Beautiful stadium but absolutely no atmosphere because the crowds don't turn up. Always thought the PCB should just give out freebies on the day to get folk packed into the stadiums. They don't appreciate that the people living there are living in awful conditions trying to save as much money as possible to send home to their families in Pakistan. They don't have the cash to turn up to games of cricket - they might love the sport but they can't afford to go. 5 hours ago, kplfishtank said: My mates went to a few Pakistan test in Dubai.

I think there is a very high chance that they will. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they can't go with a pitch that spins from day 1 again. Worked against England as the English spinners are average at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it was a factor, but not as big a factor as India just playing shit cricket. There is no doubt India played shite but when the second over on day 1 of a test match is bowled by a spinner that would suggest the pitch was prepared for the spinners and it backfired on India spectacularly which I liked to see! For too long in India tests are being decided on the toss of a coin, if you're battling last on that wicket its a complete minefield. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, over the last few years India's strategy at home has been slow, flat wickets which spin on days 4-5. They then back themselves to put up a higher score than the opposing teams. Their groundsman either fucked it completely or this is a conscientious change by the BCCI on the basis that they thought Australia's spinners are garbage. It was a surprising win for Australia and I'm sure they'll be working 24 hours a day to flatten the next pitch out before the 2nd test LiviGer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between a flat deck and weather forecast, the second test has 'draw' written all over it. Hopefully MMarsh doesn't score any runs, so that I don't need to look at his stupid face playing test cricket anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Garbage from Australia this morning. Silly wickets to end their innings, and awful new ball bowling. India are probably half an hour away from being back in this match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
