England s test tour of Pakistan

 


England have begun their tour of Pakistan on a fantastic note by winning the Rawalpindi test by 74 runs margin .England's win was even more remarkable as they scored at a rate of more than six runs an over in both their innings and their bowlers did a fantastic  job to bowl Pakistan out twice on a flat pitch.

Pakistan didn't get their bowling attack right as they played with inexperienced bowlers. Pakistan handed out debuts to three bowlers namely Haris Rauf, Zahid Mahmood and Mohammad Ali.  No wonder England piled up mammoth total of 657 runs in their first innings.

In the end I  would like to say that England  has a modern approach to test cricket as they score with a run rate of 6 runs an over and their strike rates is much above Pakistani batsmen who play old fashioned cricket. If Pakistani curators prepare huge turning tracks then I hope Pakistan is able to make a comeback in Multan and Karachi test matches.
