Nothing for the bowler. You need movement so it takes skills to survive. Nz and sa wickets seem better this set of games

This pitch is the worst of both world's, too slow for the batsmen  to score quickly, no movement for the bowlers to work with.  Test cricket is a hard sell on this type of surface

Yeh ok makes more sense when you put it like that

Cant bare to watch cricket in UAE for that same reason

Agreed. Cricket in the UAE is really bad for test cricket. It literally is what makes draw Cricket awful.. big score plays big score with the very occasional team messing up enough to had a win to another side.

Oh well, onto the fourth test and hope it’s a good wicket

In 13 Tests in Dubai since 2010, 3 have been drawn. The last draw was the thriller with Australia in November.

In Abu Dhabi, 4 draws. None since 2015.

Babar Azam looked good with the bat.

Poor batting overall from both teams so far.

I struggled to understand the SA tactics yesterday with Steyn bowling to Babar. Clearly Steyn was struggling to put Babar in any pressure but Faf relented with him. They ended up leaking too many runs in boundaries. Babar played good shots but surely the tactic should have been to starve him of runs and make him do something foolish rather than pitching it up.

Babar was just too good . Taking the king steyn off is a big call not many expected him to rip styen apart .

From 100-1 to 150-6 with the pitch looking flat. Pretty poor stuff
Is there any point of Sarfraz in the team?
