Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

As usual there won't be any grass left right before the start of play on saturday:(

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

yep!! (aur Youhanna ne ghaas katwa dee… something along that line).

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

if they have put a lot of effort to prepare the pitch .. why would they ruin it?

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

depends on the “water-level” in our players :wink:

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

The pitch also looked good and grassy before the last Multan test.
India went on to score 600+ runs against Shoaib, Sami, Shabbir, Saqlain, Razzaq and co.

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

Well if you have followed previous home matches than you must have noticed that whenever they talk about grass on the pitch, usually they end up removing it before the start.

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

^ yeh .. but my question remains. It's just SO against common sense.

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

I blv its usually a tussle between the groundsmen (curator) and the team players.

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

^ Yes plus there are some tactics or mind games which are often played by the host for the visiting team. Obviously Pakistan would be knowing that what bowling combination they will be using for the match. If they are going to rely heavily on spinners and and their batting, than don't expect a grass cover.

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

the grass is the age old red herring, which disappears like a mirage on the morning of the first day

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy

Re: The Pitch looks Good and Grassy
