'Dead pitch Dead game': Wasim Jaffer reacts to Rawalpindi wicket

Wasim Jaffer has criticised the Rawalpindi pitch used for the first Pakistan-Australia Test match as it has offered no assistance to the bowlers. The 44-year old added that such dead pitches are the 'biggest threat to Test cricket'. "I find it amusing when Test matches get over inside four days yet teams lose WTC points for overrate. The biggest threat to Test cricket is not overrate. Tests rarely go to day 5 anyway nowadays. The biggest threat to Test cricket is dead pitches. Dead pitch Dead game," Jaffer wrote on Twitter.
