PAk vs INd , test match update

Ind vs. Pak test series no.2

Well, this test match proved very challenging for the Indian team, as the toss winning team;Pakistan; made a staggering score of runs for the Indians, which at the end of the day managed to somehow even out the pressure with the cost of all their players. The "dull" pitch as they say, seemed to be as boring as the expression on the umpires faces. Not allowing spinners to do their job, neither the medium and fast bowlers. The heat from the players probably overcame the cold winter of Faisalabad, as they were some intense moments between the players of both teams. As long as they didnt cross the line, this is routine behaviour for test matches , even more when both teams are under pressure. The last day after India managed to even the score looked to be an interesting one, but looks can be deceiving. The Pakistanis batted their hearts out, more like they were practising. Indian bowlers failed to achieve more than two wickets , as their opponents continued batting , automatically guaranteeing the outcome of the match as a draw.
One more test match remains in the Pakistani capital of karachi, hopefully the both teams would have heard criticism from the public. More enthusiasm, more heart, more sensible play is required for people to actually watch a test match and feel satisfied that it wasn't just a waste of time. BUT, as this is more a sport than an entertainment, lets just say, i'm waiting for ODI's....
Until more exciting news...
