"Graveyard, Road": Multan Pitch Faces Brutal Criticism During Pakistan vs England Test

Former England cricket team skippers Michael Vaughan and Kevin Pietersen blasted the pitch in Multan during Day 1 of the first Test match against Pakistan on Monday.

India thrashed Bangladesh in the second Test despite over two days being lost due to rain and wet outfield particularly due to their aggressive approach.

Bangladesh managed just 146 in the second innings as India chased down the 95-run target with ease.

Taking to X, Vaughan wrote, "I see India are playing Bazball" as he compared India's onslaught to England's Bazball approach. 'Bazball', a term used for England's attacking style of cricket, which became popular when Brendon McCullum took over as red-ball coach in 2022.
