| Well, I do not have exact data about pitches in Pakistan, but my obesevation during the India series was:
1. The first pitch in Multan was crap.
2. The other two pitches were overdone with the obsession of keeping grass.
But I think the other two pitches were good. Rawalpindi (the third test, I think) pitch had enough in it for almost 5 sessions. Dravid and Patel had to play well for a long time.
I would prefer a pitch like the one at Hedingley, with a little less movement and a little more assistance for spinner in the end. Initially, the batsmen must grind for runs. It looks ridiculous to see batsmen hitting on-the-up from over no.2 and the pitch should deteriorate enough to help quality spinners, so that it's not harsh on the team batting first.
