yep.Could you imagine if England decided to play back to back tests on a wicket in Headingley!! The 2nd test would be over in a day and a half.
The fact that it was deemed ok to play a test match (remember these should be the pinnacle of cricket) on the same wicket they used a week earlier, is ridiculous. To then play the 3rd test on a wicket, where the hosts didn't even bowl 1 ball of pace, and as you say played spinners that weren't picked for the 1st test and hardly setting the world on fire in domestic cricket and they could rip those 2 tests apart, says a lot, both about Englands batting, but also about what standards should be set for all tests.
Pakistan cricket has always been somewhat of a farce but there is an article in The Age today about it . There have been more than 20 selectors in the last 18 months including the new ones. One of the new selectors is ex umpire Aleem Dar, and the coach and the Captain are no longer selectors, the head of the Pakistan cricket Board is also a Cabinet member in the Government.
England played poorly because they didn't adapt, bazball was never going to cut it on those pitches.
Test cricket is on it's knees around the world and these types of actions just make it worse and I am honestly at a loss as to why people defend them. The best test cricket has always been played when the wicket gives something to the quicks early, dries out and then favours the batters and then breaks up for the spinners later in the game. Wickets will always vary but some version of that formula with the aim of having a pitch last 5 days is what we should always aim for.
Anyway it is an opinion and it seems many disagree and that's all fine but personally I don't like it.
