Pakistan 🇵🇰 v England 🏴 1st test Rawalpindi
- Thread starter Liverpool Beachball
- Start date
not sure I agree, there will only be 300-350 overs this test, which is tiny
we need all bowling we can get, we now have 4 fast bowlers and 2 spinners, ideal.

Tuffers would have figures just behind Swann if he played now imo

I agree. For left arm spinners batsmen could just rock forward bat alongside pad and they would never get an LBW. DRS not only gives loads of LBWs but opens up other modes of dismissal with batsmen having to bat differently. Abdul Qadir as a leggie would have been one of the biggest wicket takers of all time I reckon.

And then it works the other way for batters too, say KP for example would have probably averaged 55+ due to the stride he used to get in.

Seems silly when it produced on of the most exciting tests ever
In spite of the pitch. Don’t care what the run rates were, cricket is shite when the bowlers offer no threat.

It was England that produced one of the most exciting test ever, not the pitch.
Every other test match on that pitch would’ve gone exactly like this:
600-6 dec
550 all out
250-2 dec
72-0
Bore draw

Aye that is in tufnells bookIt was when Tufnell was there in the 90s. In fact at one stage after a huge appeal Daryl Harper the Aussie umpire said to him ‘shut up you Pommie bastard’
