Welcome back to Reverse Swing Diaries, I am Saad Farooqi. This is the weekend edition, where we sit down and talk for as long as it takes. Today my guest is a man most of you have never heard of and every cricketer in Pakistan respects. Riaz Ahmed has been head groundsman at Rawalpindi since the stadium opened. He has had captains begging him, boards blaming him, and once, the morning before a Test, a roller that simply refused to start. We talk about how a pitch is actually built, why it behaves one way on day one and another on day five, and what it is like when the entire country decides your wicket was too flat. There is a lot of laughter and some very honest answers. You are listening on Witspeak Podcasts. Pull up a chair.
