Re: 3rd. Test @ Karachi on Nov. 27 PAK vs WI
Look at Yousaf (strike rate 60+), for some period when Farhat and Younis were putting away the bad deliveries, all of a sudden pitch looked a batting paradise. It is not the pitch or bowlers that cause troubles for Pakistan, rather it is negative batting (blocking) that putting Pakistan under pressure and allowing bowlers to settle down and get into a rhythm.
I am sure tommorrow when Akmal will bat (if he stay there for 1-2 hours), the pitch will look extremely flat, since he will punish bad deliveries. since the end of Lahore test, Pakistan is playing for draw in the remaining series, which is a negative cricket.
Akmal makes the pitch look easy, Nazir made it looks tough. Look at Ramiz english comments 'Nazir didn't bother the stat and statistician"; guess he wana say "Nazir didn't bother the scorer"
