That is one heck of a collapse from Ireland yesterday - tipping along nicely at 93 -2 then they proceed to lose eight wickets for 26 runs. Ouch

Some carry on in Multan the past few days. The wicket must be made of pure tarmac. The numbers mean nothing on a track like that.

Crazy carry-on. Ranked as 5th flattest pitch since they started measuring in 2007.

Embarassing for Pakistan though. They really are 2nd tier these days.
