With the second test between Pakistan and Bangladesh Just around the corner, the pitch is once again hogging all the attention. While it was a batting paradise during the opening Test, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is using bizarre methods to prepare the kit for the second game. Due to heavy rains in the city of Rawalpindi, the PCB is using fans to dry the pitch. This is hilarious and now that the pictures have surfaced in the social space, it is triggering massive reactions from fans. One would have expected that an iconic cricketing venue would have had better technology to deal with such issues. We should not be surprised to see such tactics being used in Pakistan as it was the same story during the opening day of the first Test when it had rained. The same technique was used.
