Pakistan v England 3rd Test


2 years till we are back in Asia, these lads won't be playing against Top class spinners on turning tracks (India in England and Lyon on day 4/5 in Oz).

This tour has ended up being a massive dissapointment unless the rest of the batters do something special.

We can all grumble about the pitches, but simply put, these batters can't play the spinning ball and the spinners have been completely outdone by Pakistans.
 
Very tough conditions out there for us. Some very good bowling, on a track giving a hand and fading light. Do well to get in just 2 down.
 
We are shit on the sun continent but it wasn't always like that.

Are the Asian teams so much better than 40+ years back or have we just turned to shite when it comes to playing spin.

Yep, we do an awfully good job of making average spinners look like world beaters. Sajid is simply 2024 Ajmal.
