Pitches in Pakistan are a nightmare for bowlers of both teams, just flat tracks where the ball scuffs easy and its impossible to get wickets. We have the best attack in world cricket IMHO but the Pakis hammered us in the 1st Test especially their openers, they got some of their own medicine this game after they bowled around the wicket down legside to slow the scoring rate in a disgraceful display and Carey sparked the innings by playing like he does in white ball cricket where he built his reputation as a quick scorer.
I think Carey is a decent player and reasonable keeper, he isnt going to be the next Gilchrist but I think he can be a valuable player, probably needs to make runs when the going gets tough on good bowling tracks to show he can graft and counter atack but I agree his batting vs England was compromised where he sacrificed himself for the good of the time on a few occasions.
Hoping Swepson does well but fear for the kid on these tracks vs players who play spin every day of the week and on small grounds where miss hits disappear for six. Maybe the Pakis will be over cocky and play without much care so we can take advantage and make a result possible....
