God help me - the Test Cricket thread

It's the extra bounce that leg spinners get that's really dangerous on decent pitches.  On the rolled mud featherbeds they'll get in Pakistan it's hard work. Any error in line or length to batsmen that use their feet and it's innocuous, unless there's holes etc and it starts gripping.

With the number of quicks that Pakistan has these days, I'm surprised they still provide crappy wickets. Guys like Haris Rauf are genuine test bowlers. They're country shouldn't disadvantage them so much.
