How come the Second Test is being played in front of 3 men and a stray dog??
I guess the supporters are very patriotic and only go to see their own country play.
Most of the crowd or players were sleeping when I last saw it.

Because it isn't in Pakistan, it is being played in the U.A.E as the aussies wouldn't play in Pakistan for fear of safety
As if you would want to go and see your country get flogged like that anyway

In a neutral country where the majority of the population aren't interested in cricket; in 45 degree heat. Hardly surprising that no-one turned up.

Because neither country is playing at home, and with the temperature guage at 51 degrees, you could probably fry an egg on the pitch.
I bet the Aussies aren't too disappointed with the test only lasting 2 days, especially McGrath, Lee, and Bichel.

As Shane Warne said "You could fry an egg on your head out there".
It's in the middle of the desert basically!
Waiting outside the MCG for the first home game of the Bushrangers season in Melbourne!! About the same size crowd!!
