Pitch does not look like an all out pace attack was the right option which is concerning Day 1. Not many plays and misses at all. In fact I bet the in control % is really high for both openers.
India two years ago actually, albeit on a pitch that was barely even mown.
I know precious little about the random names thrown up with respect to Pakistan spinners but surely a couple I've seen mentioned (who are doing well domestically despite very flat pitches this year that Yasir averaged over 40 on) could provide the overs and better control than Yasir.
Ahh of course forgot about that one, I was in the middle of nowhere during that series, ironic and yetting fitting that its India.
And Vihari took wickets.
It was a poor decision in the test you mentioned too imo. India got away with it because sa did the same thing.
And here I am, wondering if anyone knows what type of attack is normal for Pakistan home match. I genuinely can't recall ever having watched one
Well before exile the pitches were really flat, like ridiculously flat (the series where SL were attacked was actually the highest averaging series ever), definitely not four pacers material, and they've never been lush damp Northern England-type pitches.
