The conditions are very tough. As I said before, that will be the biggest opponent, rather than the bowling. Long innings will require great mental and physical toughness. Of course, folks like Afridi dont play long innings too often.
Btw Balaji goes, trying to play a most unusual shot - moving to off and trying to hit it to square leg, bowled.

It does not make any sense to put cricketers through this hell. PCB and BCCI should never arrange another series in April.

Looks like the worst is yet to come - there is a ODI series in May with Sri Lanka. Will be interesting - I think some games will just be a contest of who can withstand the severe heat and remain standing.
