You confuse me mate, If England would have scored these runs then it would have been a great application of batting, considering when England were batting well they were scoring abt the same number of runs.
T-20 is useless, ODI is useless, Tests in the subcontinent are useless, anything made in sub continent is not as good, Any team other than England scoring run is useless, did I miss anything else?
How can this be a snorefest if T-20 & ODI is slogging then this must be what you enjoy!!
You want a wicket that is sporting, one that a bowler can bowl well on and get a batsmen out and keep the runs down but if you bowl badly the batsmen can score runs. So ideally, I'd be looking for a 'avg' score first innings around 300 etc.. not 500. It's not about how pakistan in this case have batted, hell from what i've seen they've batted well.. it's the fact that test matches should be exactly that.. testing.. so currently in theory we have the likes of dave warner avg'ing alongside some of the greats of the game.. really... dave warner!!!
A test wicket needs to be sporting and some of the flat tracks that are produced all around the world are just crap. The subcontinent seem to enjoy mass run games but it's just silly (IMO), over inflates their batsmen and just kills fast bowling completely. Each to their own but it devalues them avg'ing so much when it's silly flat wickets. ODI's are played on flat wickets... so batsmen can just biff.. T20's are on flat decks so batsmen can biff (fair enough as that' swhat T20 is about), but test matches.. the wicket should be seaming.. ball swinging then on day 4+ , a good actual spinner should be spinning it and causing trouble.
I think you'll find I slate any wicket that is not sporting. I'd rather watch test sides struggling to 250 each innings than watch them score 500+. Smaller total games usually produce better cricket and really 'test' players
