Re: do i care?

Not true. Pak have done pretty well in England in tests compared to our neighbours. Even during the disastrous 2010 tour which was marred by spot-fixing controversy we managed to beat England in one test.

However they do struggle in Australia and SA in tests owing to batting woes.

The reasons are mainly financial but also probably lack of effective planning and effort by PCB. Playing against Pakistan is less financially rewarding than playing against India at the moment.

PCB knows that Pak will almost certainly struggle in tests in Australia and RSA. PCB higher ups do not want to put their jobs on the line.

The security situation in Pakistan has improved a lot during the last year thanks to zarb-e-azab and Gen. Raheel Shareef. But even in the 80s and 90s, NZ were always looking for excuses not to visit Pakistan… no discos and bars etc. Hadlee decided not to tour in 1990. Khan sahib duly obliged and pulled out of the series as well because he thought NZ minus Hadlee were not worthy opponents. And he was right. Miandad took over and Pak whitewashed NZ 3-0 in the test series. Waqar Younis took 29 wickets at 10.86 in the three tests.
