No surprise this has dropped dramatically since Younis Khan has retired.

Yet quite a few posters love bashing him. The same ones also have a habit of citing the change of captain from Misbah to Sarfraz to be the reason why Pakistan have been losing at home (SL and NZ) but seem to overlook the contributions from him. His conversion from 50 to 100 was remarkably above 50%. Doesn't get the respect he deserves on PP, particularly from Misbah's staunchest of supporters.

Well you won't learn how to construct long innings on QEA Trophy pitches that you can't distinguish from the outfield.

Fans used to criticise the flat domestic pitches of the past that produced 600-6d type scores, but at least the batsmen learned the art of scoring hundreds and double hundreds.

Precisely. I can't think of anything positive to say about the current state of the pitches.

No shock when our batsmen are interested in T20 type knocks and playing selfishly for themselves. No hunger for big scores.
