Why prepare these low and slow wickets with the T20 World Cup around the corner?

[fieldMarshal]

With the world cup around the corner n while facing a quality side england, one would have thought that the pcb would prepare wickets with a little juice, which have a little bounce n pace n are of supporti g nature.....so as to stimulate the conditions in Australia as much as possible, so as to prepare our team for the conditions which they will have to face in aus.
But here the pcb preapres these dead wickets which defeat the purpose of having a 7 match series with eng.....as even if Pakistan wins it 7 -0 they would have gained diddly squat from these match, except the feel good factor of defeating eng ie if they do.

N we wonder why eng dident send their A team.
All in all this rameez raja is a self glorified idiot.

N then we wonder why eng dident send their A team

Can't blame the pitch this is just poor batting from both sides so far

 

[Rana]

Nothing wrong with the wicket

We can’t bat! The whole setup is a joke. It’s a total mess!

England have breezed through with the score given to them

 

[The_KING]

Nothing wrong with the wicket. At one stage, Pakistan looked like they were on course for 200, but thanks to Rizwan and Haider’s pathetic partnership, we couldn’t even get to 160.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Slow or fast wickets, with this team, we will only win fluke games.

 

[fieldMarshal]

In case u guys have not realized our team is set up for wickets where the ball comes on to the bat.....where their is some bounce n pace in the track

 

[fieldMarshal]

My question was that why prepare wickets like these when the world cup is around the corner, in other word the wickets in aus will be the opposite of wt we are playing on today ie they will have pace n bounce not these dead tracks.
So u gain nothing from playing on tracks like these with the WC like a month away.

 

[Markhor]

It's a relaid square, yet the pitch died after a few overs. The quality of pitch curation in Pakistan is as bad as our spin playing abilities.

 

[Saj]

Wasim and Waqar saying the same thing.

Both criticising the surface today in Karachi, especially given that the T20 World Cup is in Australia.

 

[fieldMarshal]

I think our grounds men are so use to making dead wickets that they would struggle making a lively wickets even if their lives depended on it

 

[Saj]

Wasim Akram critical of the NSK pitch "this is a 20 over match but it looks like we have been playing on this pitch for the last 7 days"

 

[MenInG]

Is the NSK pitch the best preparation for Pakistan's T20 World Cup campaign?

All commentators scathing in their criticism of the NSK pitch which seems undercooked or not the right one for a game of this stature.

One wonders what happened to all the hoopla from Ramiz about pitch prep and foreign experts and relaying it as well?

 

[TeymurBlake]

Not just that but the boundary ropes are so small.

Wasn‘t Wasim Akram the one who was admiring the pitch in the first innings that its the best pitch in Pakistan bla bla.

Thats the thing that it defeats the whole purpose of going through this whole exercise of having a 7 match t 20 series, just before the world cup n then making these dead wickets. Which give u nothing in way of preparation for the WC being held in aus.

Damn u pcb n rameej raja, who can't seem to seepasr his nose.
Some one put him out of his misery

Small boundaries, poor wickets, Pakistan cricket for you

 

[Fenrir]

Pakistani curators have no clue how to prepare good pitches for LOIs or test matches even though many foreign curators have come to Pakistan and given then training.Pakistan middle order is very fragile so it would have lost even if the pitch has pace and bounce.WC will be in Australia so PCB needs to take this into consideration.The pitches should have pace and bounce to prepare the batsmen for the WC.

 

[shamaan]

They need to make sure that the pitches are fast bouncy.

 

[GreenKhan]

We have tri series in New Zealand and 2 warm up games .

7 games to adjust to the conditions of the World Cup .

 

[Minnowbasher]

Forget the t20 world cup, these wickets are just bad for cricket in general. Need more bouncy and flat wickets with atleast some grass on it for help for our really good seam attack.

 

[fieldMarshal]

Ramee, raja seems to suffer from a inferiority complex n seems generally scared....just a look at the wickets prepared for the aus series verifies my point.
You need to be down right brave, attacking and pro active to achieve positive results....our team is young specially the bowling n they need some help from the pitch....you prepare these dead tracks n play into the hands of the opposition .
Plain stupid

 

[ethan hunt]

You have 5-6 90 mph bowlers, so you prepare the slowest pitch in the world fit for opposition trundlers. Just pakistani things.

 

[fieldMarshal]

If thats the case then the idiots at pcb don't know any thing about cricket.
As these sort of pitches help the slow bowlers as the ball does not come on to the bat, as we saw yesterday.
To maximize the effectiveness of our fast men we need fast tracks with pace n bounce.

We prepare these dead tracks to shield our batsmen, who still fail but in the process we nullify our main weapon ie our fast bowlers

 

[shamaan]

Wasn't Ramiz the one who said we will create fast pitches.

The Cricviz guys had a chat session on TwitterSpaces and they said the NSK pitch for the 1st T20 was the lowest bouncing pitch in the history of T20I cricket.

Did Rameez really say it was relaid? )

Wow !

Hats off to Pakistani curators. First the Australia series debacle, now the lowest bouncing pitches in T20 history. These guys kill all joy from watching home series.
