142 overs and not even lasting 2 days and they have the audacity to lecture on what kind of pitches are needed. Had it happened in India, it would have been labelled end of test cricket, ruining test cricket and what not. The Hypocrisy is mind-boggling . #AUSvSA

Wasim Jaffer shared a meme on Australia vs South Africa match and said, "If a Test in the subcontinent had ended in 2 days, the reaction would have been totally different." Recently, after the Test match between Pakistan and England, the Rawalpindi pitch was given a demerit point. Now it remains to be seen whether the International Cricket Council (ICC) sees Gabas pitch as a poor rating.
