Message: [QUOTE="Bull Shark, post: 3365242, member: 7690"] I'm not sure if it's a fair comparison to make or not but the fact we're all disappointed to not have won a test in Pakistan represents a pretty large step forward for our Test match cricket over the last eight years. In 2018 and 2014 against Pakistan we were all at sea, albeit in the UAE where those series were played. We lost 3 out of 4 tests across those two series and I'm assuming the pitches there weren't too dissimilar to what they've had in Pakistan this time around(?). One thing that has impressed me about our batting is that very few of our batsmen have had their front pads blown off, LBW - which I thought was going to be a very common mode of dismissal for us in this series. Usman Kahwaja in particular seems to have developed his own special technique for getting his pads out of harm's way to the straighter deliveries. Anyway, I reckon there are bigger tests of our abilities on the sub continent just around the corner in Sri Lanka and India, but for now at least, the fact we've been able to find a way to bat long is encouraging.
