Pakistan scored 181 runs in 51 overs by batting today. Pakistan has not lost any wicket so far. But I am waiting to see how Pakistan will play tomorrow. Now the thing to watch is if England can perform well in bowling then Pakistan will not be able to score so many runs in this match.

It is not about the bowling of either England or Pakistan, the pitch is a flat dead wicket and there is no purchase for the bowlers and hence England batsman were able to score freely and made huge runs including two double centuries and now it is the Pakistan batsman's turn to pile in the runs and if they play carefully the match will end up in a draw and some of the batsman will be improving their career averages Cheesy

.

I really don't understand the logic of PCB here to prepare such dead wickets. I am sure it is not the fear of loss as Pakistan has good bowling options that could have been exploited on fast pitches. Don't know who gave them these suggestions to make a dead pitch.
A team as good as England is coming to our country, we should have prepared good pitches, no one wants to watch these dead pitches matches. Honestly, I prefer to watch FIFA world cup matches and highlights rather than watching these batsmen from both countries piling up the runs.

That's true when you watch FIFA you watch wonderful, exciting matches with the efforts of their host country who have prepared outstanding world class stadiums for this world cup .
Then here we have this test series in which players are just collecting runs making centuries and that's it. Atleast PCB have prepared and worked on thier pitches. I don't know how is Ramiz Raja going to organise Asia Cup in pakistan with this casual attitude.

Are we having the Asia Cup in Pakistan? I heard somewhere that since India does not want to come to Pakistan to play the Asia cup, the venue may be shifted to some Neutral venue as, without India, the Asia cup won't be of any interest.
Coming back to this test match, the pitch is a big mess here. Think that players are making centuries but no one is appreciating them because it is more of the dead pitches that is playing the part in all these runs.

Yea Asia Cup is happening in Pakistan and Ramiz Raja recently told in a press conference that its happening with or without India. Now that's a big question mark for all the world and ICC too how will the tournament held without India and BCCI?

Is it possible to organize a big tournament like Asia Cup without BCCI? We all know that BCCI has big influence over ICC. Because BCCI can be considered as the main funder of ICC. Also, India has a huge fan base of cricket. I think more than half of cricket fans in the world are Indians. Because their population is huge. I don't think it is possible to host the Asia Cup without such a country. If BCCI voluntarily abstains from playing Asia Cup then maybe possible.

Every thing is possible, so please forget about BCCI and wait for the next movement from the PCB about their stance of Asia Cup because now things looking more aggressive from their side, and they are not going for any compromise which mean we will have bad time in this game with India is not coming Pakistan, and they are not going India for the world cup its reality.

India's biggest influence on ICC is just nothing because it's not mean now you can do anything which you want to do bigger mean you have more responsibility it's not mean use of power for wrong things sadly they are not thinking about these ground realities and creating wrong things in sports.

Yes now all of us are waiting for ICC to give their final decision after discussing things with BCCI and PCB . Ramiz Raja is not ready to listen anything in this matter and has given his final statement regarding Asia Cup.

This sort of intolerance and derogatory remarks should be avoided by all cricket boards . Cricket is a gentleman game and it should be played with its true spirit.
