Another series of draw, and with political as well as cricketing pride at stake, it was hardly surprising that neither captain was prepared to take any risks as not losing appeared the sole aim. Not only were all five Tests drawn but all 10 tours matches as well. Pakistan started well in the opening Test at Bombay with Saeed Ahmed and Hanif Mohammad scoring big hundreds, but India then batted more than two days for 449 and that was that. In the Tests Pakistan average 35 runs per 100 balls; India 39 runs per 100 balls. Scoring was so slow that on only 11 of the 25 days allotted to the Tests did the aggregate of runs reach 200, and on nearly half of these occasions the quicker tempo came on the last day when a decision was out of the question.
