I think that the Pakistan cricket board knows very well about the impact their approach to the pitch has created. That also is a big reason why the pitch of the third test is not like the previous two. In this match, the bowlers are certainly finding some success, unlike the previous two test matches.

Now there is no International T-20 Match. Waiting for most popular Leaugue IPL.IPL will start 26th March.This season two new team added.T-20 match is most popular and most enjoyable game more than any format game.Many cricket waiting for IPL. IPL is most entertrin game.I hope this season IPL will be more enjoyable.

Actually having three test matches in every series might not be the best idea. If it is actually done, I mean three test matches in every series then I think cricket might lose a lot more popularity altogether.

I actually think test cricket is holding cricket back as a whole. Don't get me wrong. I love this cricket and I am sure that the players also enjoy playing test cricket.

But, yes it is not enjoyable for the fans. seems fans are the main source of revenue, it's better to give the other formats of cricket a lot more time than test cricket right now.

Australia are going unchanged squad for the third series decider match against Pakistan in Lahore at the Gaddafi Stadium. Pakistan happy after making flat dead pitches against Australia as they're only looking draw! It would be possible the third match also ends in draw. What is the point in playing the series as both team are losing WTC percentage. Have a feeling another test draw is loading. 3 test draw will be quite boring, isn't it? If the match would end to a draw then Pakistan will slip to number 4 in test championship points table.

de Kock absolutely devastated the bowlers of Bangladesh. I agree that Bangladesh did not read the pitch well. It was a bowling pitch at first. And it was obvious that  Parnell getting injured helped Bangladesh to get at least a few runs on the board, otherwise, it could have been a lot worse.

Afif was the only one who tried to put up a fight and scored 72 runs. The top order of Bangladesh absolutely failed. South Africa had an easy victory of seven wickets.

Test cricket is something that does require a lot of skill. ODI cricket also requires a good amount of skill. But, I feel like T20 is the format where you can go absolutely crazy as a Batsman and get rewarded for it. yes, T20 is the most important format of cricket right now in the whole world.

To be honest, at this moment most people don't have enough time to watch even an ODI match, to see you down and watch cricket for 100 overs can hamper a lot of productivity. And in this matter test cricket is absolutely out of the question. T20 is probably the only format that can be enjoyed by maintaining other work.

Second ODI between South Africa and Bangladesh scheduled for today. Since the series is a part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, another defeat for South Africa will push them further towards oblivion. Right now they just have 39 points from 11 matches and are placed at the 10th spot behind West Indies and Pakistan. They need to win at least half of their remaining matches, else they need to play in the qualifying tournament in order to gain an entry to the ODI world cup of 2023. Bangladesh on the other hand is very comfortably placed.

No one has enough time to go through an entire test match. It takes 40 hours of your time. Only if you are a student, or a retired person, you have this much time available with you. And look at the ongoing test matches, such as the one between England and West Indies, and the one between Pakistan and Australia. What you will gain from watching these useless matches. Both the teams make 500 plus scores and then the match ends in a draw. You want to waste 40 hours of your time to watch such matches?

Remainder of the series will be exactly the same. Pakistan knows that they don't have the capability to defeat Australia. So they played defensively and asked the curator to prepare a dead track, which offer no support for the bowlers. Same was the case with the West Indians. They also aimed for a draw, and they got that in the end. The only ones who are losing out here are the spectators. They are spending so much money and time to watch these matches and what are they getting in return? A few matches that end with no result?

I don't think India's collection was inadequate. The main reason for their defeat was that the bowlers could not play well. Australia's first 3 batsmen have destroyed India. The first 3 batsmen collected 212 runs. Meg Lanning returned to the dressing room with 97 runs. He missed his century for just 3 runs.
Australia has won all five matches. It looks like Australia will win the Women's World Cup without a hitch this time. The performance of their players is admirable.

Braithwaite is still playing comfortably and has now scored more than 100 runs. I think if he stays there till the end of day 4 then WI will be able to lead trail. England would like to get his wicket if they want to win this match. Still the chance of this match getting draw is pretty high.

I totally agree with you. England vs West Indies match was completely boring. Boring batting. No matter how hard the bowlers try, they are not able to take wickets. It is meaningless to bowl well on such a pitch. The ICC should look forward. And the ICC should play a role in pitch selection. We ordinary spectators do not expect such a boring match. If it continues like this, cricket will lose more spectators

India women's team has given a target of 278 runs. And I think that's enough to win, even though the opponent is mighty Australia. But to win, the bowlers must perform well. If the bowlers do not perform well, they will lose against the Australian women's team even if they give more than 300 targets. 278 runs is a big enough target. India is still in the safe zone. Let's see how the Indian bowlers perform.

This Nepotism, Personal links and bribery is all now part of this cricket game in subcontinent as it is most famous game and many peoples want to have some name and wealth through this so from this we have many bad players and some done good like we have Imam-ul-Haque he is nephew of Legendary Pakistan captain Inzi and now doing good even have some good criticism but still going through and now done some magical performance against Australian side so it is almost part of culture we can't ignore this until we have very strong domestic system and boards without any political influence which is not possible in next few decades because of their deep connections.

But still BCCI is having some better policies and this is giving them some good benefits and skilled players those are performing at top level in good way.

The quota system is not there for the women's team in South Africa? They are a very talented side. The only reason why the performance of South Africa has gone down is because of talented players migrating to other countries due to the quota policy. In women's cricket it is not an issue, since the salaries are low even in countries such as New Zealand and England. So if a player want to migrate to another country, she need to make sure that she gets in to the national team. Playing for one of the county sides will not provide enough funds to replace full time job.

England managed to set up such a massive total, after so long. Nice to see Ben Stokes getting a century, and Joe Root making another big score. Dan Lawrence was quite unlucky to miss his hundred. The West Indian bowling looked dull, and only Veerasammy Permaul looked impressive in parts. BTW, Matthew Fisher is making his debut for England and he has already picked up his first wicket (that of John Campbell, caught behind by Foakes). He is having a smooth bowling action and has the capability to make it big in the coming years. 

LOL.. I don't know if fans were permitted in to the stadium to watch the match. If they were in case permitted, then in all probability after the first day none of them would had the courage to go back to the match. It was so boring. If the ICC has any balls, they should deduct points from Pakistan in the WTC table for preparing such substandard pitches. Anyway, I am not expecting much from the ICC, as they have failed to act on previous occasions when Bangladesh and Sri Lanka did the same to visiting sides.

Just end of second day play with score on board is 71/1 which mean they have done some good performance after big score from England, and now they have to stay at crease for long time which is possible due to this pitch behavior as it is also batting track, and we can expect one or two centuries from West Indian batsmen tomorrow first session will give us very clear picture of this test match because if English bowlers can dismiss one or two batsmen then surely they can take some healthy lead otherwise it is surely going to end another dead rubber with almost we have last three matches two in Pakistan and one in West Indies.
