Pakistan reach 73/3 at stumps in the 1st innings of the 3rd Test against England

Im really hoping this match isnt going to be spin pitch heavy and every innings is a collapse, but it seems it looks like.

Im really not favour in these spin-mania pitches

going from one extreme to another :facepalm

And wasnt Rawalpindi a fast track before they decided to flatten it?
Bit of spin is ok but two chacha bowling with the new ball non stop is OTT.
 
Dont whine about the pitch now Its not like we get flat pitches in england bowl is seaming around massively there
 
Just getting stupid now to be honest

But lets not fully judge before 2nd and 3rd innings
 
Average deviation of 3.41 degrees in first 10 overs of a Test match. 2nd highest ever in the history of ball tracking.

Pakistan the land of rank turners
That is a very interesting stat. Seems PAK only function in extremes. Should be a fun match though.
 
GREAT captaincy by Shan Masood! Keeping it simple and two bowlers on. Why change when it ain’t broken.
Spinners get into groove the more they ball.
Yet, somehow, thumb warriors on Pakpassion know more somehow (as always)

Yep. Turned the flattest Test match deck into the 2nd biggest rank turner. Hopefully, a shootout of epic proportions. PAK fans must be tired of the run fests at home.
 
Lol only jasiwal,Pant and Sarfaraz are good player on rank Turner.
Steve smith with his blindfold on is better then all these 3 frauds.

Their is not a single batter better then 2014-2020 Steve Smith besides Bradman in test
 
It's sad that Nauman is so old. He could have had a good long run dominating on these pitches. Sajid though. He's not that old.
 
I told everyone to select my squad and only sajid Khan was listed as my selection.

But we have experts over here who still want Babar, Rizwan, Shaheen and Abdullah in the squad 🥱🥱.

Good to stay silent sometimes.

Repeat your positive self affirmations in the mirror to yourself.

This is a match thread.
 
There were never any doubts about the outcome of this series.

Arafat Minhas should be playing test cricket as he can bowl at good pace and get's a good grip as well , would be deadly on these pitches as he can turn more than Chachu Noman and at high pace as well. Definitely a better option than Mehran Mumtaz.

Pak selectors must have eye for talent as Arafat can end up with 300 wickets if playing on rank turners.
 
The last time I hoped Shan rotates the bowlers a wicket fell.

Here we go again hope it works...

Shan needs to rotate the bowlers.

Well I agree that Steve Smith is the GOAT test batsman excpet maybe Bradman,

But why did you even need to mention that and look for an argument? The person you quoted wasn't even talking about Steve Smith. I havent watched India in a long time, but no way those 3 are frauds

They are frauds compared to Steve Smith and This is a match thread but a toxic Indian was bringing in 3 Indian players in a thread that does not feature India.

This man must be reminded of his place in the pecking order.

You seem to make the wrong predictions 24/7.

I have seen some of your old posts dating back to 2013-2015 even. Sigh some things never change 🫡
 
From BBC

We mentioned PitchViz a lot in the previous two Tests.

In the past five overs it is 8.3.

In England's fourth innings in Multan it was 7.1.

The higher the number, the more difficult it is to bat.

This is tougher than a 9th day pitch in the last 5 overs
 
can someone explain purpose of Zahid Mehmood in team? he has only bowled 5 overs in this series so far..an extra batter would have made sense no?

Damn, this is insane.

How would Pakistan bat here and what about the 4 th innings, a below 50 score is also possible.
 
I said, specifically on these kinds of pitches which is what @Devadwal was talking about - rank turners. SLA's like Herath and Jadeja got the better of him.
Bro how did aqib maneged to get a rank turner in pindi surely flattest pitch on earth spinning like cobra is aqib really that genious plz reply on this?

I reckon let these two continue - they've already got 5 out, definitely can cause more mayhem
 
England showing their true colour.

Bazball is a gimmick which works only on the flattest of tracks.
We should be fair to them too.

Not many approaches work on a track like this.

It's a bowling wicket heavily stacked in favour of the spinners.
 
PitchViz so far:

First 10 overs: 4.0

Overs 11-20: 7.0

Overs 21-25: 8.3

PitchViz gives a rating for the difficulty of a pitch out of 10. The higher the number the more difficult it is to bat.
How they measured it ? I see the difficulty level is going to extreme levels.Am not sure as the turn is same
from ball 1 guess but it's low bounce is quite a concern

Does PitchViz provide data of a single ball of 22nd over?

I wanna hear from BBC explain that that ball was tougher than a 37th Day pitch
 
Yes, Abdullah clearly showed us that in the previous game 🫠
When you start watching cricket a day ago, your opinions are bound to be as deluded and out of touch. The problem here is not though that you started watching a day ago. Its that you try to present yourself as someone who understands cricket, even when you clearly don't.

If you had any idea what I was talking about, you would know that I was talking about Saud, Rizwan, Kamran Ghulam and Agha---who are all good players of spin

Even first 10 overs, the average turn was the 2nd highest ever. But difficulty was less. It's most likely the low bounce which started coming into play from the 11th over
 
Wow suddenly pcb learn how to create spin wicket and other side bcci don't know how to make spin wicket :yk2
 
Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain:

"I think you have to play off the front foot. You can also be out off the front foot playing the forward defence because it's not going over [the stumps].

"Try and play with the bat and force yourself forward. The more you get in, then you'll start to read length.

"The problem with Pope is that he thought the ball was going to be outside off when he went to sweep.

"It is low, it is slow, it is turning a little bit. Lbw and bowled are going to be the main mode of dismissals on this pitch."

Oh right, Sorry sir, I forgot Abdullah Shafique wasn't included as a Pakistani batter even though you said Pakistan plays spin better then England 🫠.

Also lol at rizzu playing spin better then England 😂

Brilliant logic, Let's exclude a pakistani batter but still say words Pakistan plays spin better 🙂↕️
 
Did Rizwan say “no more BazzBall?”

Hopefully he isn’t dropped by the next time Pakistan tours England.
 
Still early days. He is yet to bowl an over. 1 extra batter would have certainly helped on such pitch.
his confidence will certainly take a hit , captain not trusting him on a rank turner tailor made for his bowling.. its not always about whats working.. we have a spinner in team thats not allowed to bowl. should have dropped him.. Muhammad abbas could have been very handy on this low bounce track im sure
