The next match will be very competitive. The South African team lost the first match. They will find out their mistakes and correct the mistakes and make the team more stable for the next match. Pakistan will have to be stronger if they want to beat South Africa in the next match.

Pakistan might be making pitches that will help their spinners and if that is the case it will be difficult for South Africa until they have a batsman that could counter spin, in the past they had players who played well against spinners but in the current team we are yet to see any players who perform well against spin.

And there is nothing wrong with this practice. SENA countries does the same thing with pace, swing, bounce. If they can exploit the weakness of sub-continent team then every sub continent team should also exploit their weakness. Test cricket is not only about raw pace but spin also.

If i am a pitch curator then i wouldn't hesitate to create a pitch where likes of Anderson-Rabada-Cummins getting smashed by 19 year old kids when playing in the sub-continent. Grin

Although every country do this and make pitches which help them but isn't against the sports man spirit ?
If a team is good, they should win on any pitch and should not take these short cuts which make results in their favor.

Wondering then what type of pitch you want it. Like do you just want plain pitch with little help to bowlers and should it be batsman pitch, should it be pace bowlers pitch or should it be spinners track. How do you think it should be and that is the beauty of having different types of pitches in the world and accordingly you select the players too? Like nobody stopped a team to have 3-4 spinners in a team if it’s a sub-continent or 3-4 pacers if you are playing in OZ, NZ etc.
