[PICTURES] Is Pakistan the worst Test team at home?

[Pakhs]

Since cricket returned to Pakistan, player performances have, for some reason, been worse than they were in the UAE. Interestingly, the pitches in the UAE seemed to suit Pakistani players more than those in Pakistan, and it's unclear why this is the case.

When they lost a few initial matches, it could have been attributed to adjusting to playing at home again against big teams. Initially, there might have been no real advantage, as neither team was accustomed to these pitches. However, it's been a while now, and the results haven't improved.

It's not a reflection of your pitches alone. It's a reflection of your bowling too. It's a very mediocre bowling attack

+1. Pakistan averages 37+ with the bat in this period whereas Australia and India average 43+ and 41+ with the bat at home in the same period.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Irrespective of conditons but this is the best I've seen Pakistan team bat in a long time. I've enjoyed this batting performance by Shan Masood and Abdullah Shafique. Cricket has evolved and this is the right template by Pakistan.They should take advantage of home pitches.

[Cricket Warrior]

A team that can't win a single Test at home in two years definitely deserves to be called one of the worst teams at home.

Ideal time to have a home and away series with Zimbabwe. Would be interesting.

Right now Pakistan is probably the worst home team in Tests. When a team with such a rich history fails to beat Bangladesh in a 2 test series, they deserve to be called the worst. I hope they improve and get better.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Still, doubting Pakistan??

The answer is simple, YES. Pakistanis definitely the worst team out there that cannot even dominate a single session at home.

 

[MHN1293]

The point of home pitches is to play according to the home teams strengths. But since we keep producing these roads any advantages are nullified and eventually the better skilled team wins.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Yes, Pakistan is going to achieve this feat tomorrow.

What is our strength?

Green mamba or road, it doesn't matter
