The first test match between England and Pakistan has ended with yet another heavy defeat for Pakistan. The English team built up a mammoth score on a dead wicket. Once again, the Pakistani cricket pitches have come under criticism. Why does the Pakistan Cricket Board not build fast pitches in the country? Is it a policy to build slow cricket pitches or is it that Pakistanis are not capable of building faster cricket pitches, as built in other cricketing countries? I am sure building faster cricket pitches is not beyond our capability. Faster wickets will improve the game of Pakistani players.
