That illustrates how much Test cricket has changed since South Africa were last in Pakistan. In the 13 years and 10 months before South Africa's last match there, 26.95% of all Tests anywhere were drawn. In the 13 years and 10 months that followed, that figure reduced to 21.14%. The last 10 years have seen it shrink to 18.12%, and to 12.16% in the past five years. So we are seeing fewer than half the number of drawn Tests now than when South Africa were previously in Pakistan. … [Read more...] about South Africa look to roll back the years in Karachi’s time-machine
