Basit Ali On Pakistani Pitch Curator: The first match of the two-match Test series between India and Bangladesh was played at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Team India won the Chennai Test by 280 runs. The Chennai pitch looked quite balanced in terms of batting and bowling. The pitch helped the fast bowlers and the spinners also performed well. At the same time, the batsmen also did not feel much discomfort in batting. Seeing this balanced pitch of Chennai, former Pakistani batsman Basil Ali reprimanded the pitch curator of his own country.
Talking on his YouTube channel, he explained how bad pitches are made for Test matches in Pakistan.
Basit Ali said, “Bumrah took 5 wickets in that match, Ashwin took 6 wickets, Jadeja took 5 wickets, Siraj took 2 wickets and Akash Deep took 2 wickets. This is the account of 20 wickets. The bowlers ticked all the boxes. India played 2 spinners with the thought that the ball will spin and it happened. So the credit goes to the pitch curators, who know how to prepare a pitch for a Test match. Not like us, I will not go that way but I am full of anger.”
Basit Ali further said, “It is said in our country that the pitch has no importance. They are illiterate people. The board (PCB) has only those who have played cricket proudly. This is what makes me angry. What are you teaching the children? If you ask Sunil Gavaskar and Javed Miandad, if you read the pitch well, 50 percent of the problems are solved.
The second test will be played in Kanpur
It is worth noting that the second and last test match of the test series between India and Bangladesh will be played in Kanpur, which will start from 27th September. After this, both the teams will play a 3 match T20 series.
