Why is it that only Pakistan gets blamed for a slow run-rate in Tests?

[KP From India]

We have seen lots of people criticizing likes of Babar, Azhar etc. for deadbat everything batting@ 2 RPO.
But visiting teams like Aus, Nz etc. play with same run rate. Today Nz hardly batted @2.5 RPO.Aus batted very slowly when they lose only 5 Wkts on last day and just about managed to save a game. Today also Wattling didnt do much better than Azhar Ali.
Discuss.

Pakistan fans need an opportunity to whine. They are too insecure to criticize other teams since they'll be put in their place by the said teams' fans.

Usman called it right "insecurity" we cry even when we win, like ok we done it against such and such but will be exposed against the next big giant. Test Match is tactical game you play according to conditions, strength of opposition and the time factor - our fans started panicking on day 2 that we would run out of time.

Pujara has gotten plenty of stick for his strike rate outside of Asia.


The problem is there is no intent to score at times. It's just dead bat and dead bat all day. This won't work in SENA. The best test players are able to score and bat time . We want to be number 1 in the world in tests . What is wrong with expecting more from your players ? We miss out on loose balls but and it does cost us but we should appluad when it works. Everyone goes on about our series win in England, when we won the game at the Oval Younis attacked Moen and rotated strike brilliantly. If he just tuk tuk we might not have won the game

Tuk tuk can work in UAE but in the long run it won't work. All we are asking for is some strike rotation and to put the loose balls away. As long as that is done there is no issue with crease occupation.

Last test- scoring 190 with no sessions lost on a 1st day pitch is not on.

If umpire can call out bowlers bowling negative lines, then they should also call out batsman for putting spectators/viewers to sleep.a’la Azhars 22 of 92
