But it was a good test match (apart from a certain pitch dancing incident) and England had to bat out for a draw.Bilal91 said:Yup, the last match Pakistan played there with England was drawn...
The pitch has dead grass on it so rain will not affect the nature of the pitch that much. The pitch might hold some moisture underneath which might surface on the secind-third day which might assist the spinners. Plenty of sunshine ahead of the test would have ensured a hard surface well bound by the dry grass. but since it will be raining before the tests starts, the pitch will eventually help the spinners one may rightfully think. India should go with teo spinners if it rains before the start of this test.ZexyZahid said:Today and tomorrow there will be rain in Faisalabad. But starting from Saturday the weather looks good. But there is also the light problem.

The dead grass even if its dead will offer some assistance to the bowlers in the morning if there is heavy dew overnight and conditions are foggy.saisrini80 said:So its again going to be a batting paradise for the first two days or so?
We should replace Agarkar with Zaheer and persist with the Dravid-Sehwag opening combination!

I dont think it wil be as dead as Lahore one but chances of match being draw are more. Also, Shoaib would be just a little tougher to handle on this pitch, me thinks.
