They had Crash Craddock being interviewed on Radio TAB about todays test this morning.
He said and I quote him verbatim word for word or there abouts that “the wicket will be good for pace bowlers on the first couple of days then quiten down and be good for batting on the next couple of days and take spin on the last two”
Crash was talking through his arse, absolute bullshit an jabbawocky.

27 in arrears.
BTW Australia’s highest innings score with no centuries was 520.
And it is stumps.
You’d think the Pakis would have prepared a pitch with something in it. What a waste of a Test match.

Sorry, should have been ICC. Here’s some recent news:
https://www.icc-cricket.com/news/2520910
At the first Pakistani women’s cricket match in 1988, there were 8,000 police present because of all the death threats the women had received. Those police were the only spectators.
Strong arms: the story of Pakistan women’s cricket
Receiving death threats, dodging border control, breaking world records, and changing minds – in the last two decades, Pakistan’s female cricketers have come a long way
