Pakistan tour of Australia (Dec 2016 - Jan 2017)

Misbah's form is worrying. And Sami needs to learn to rotate the strike.
 
We need another 150 atleast to put Australia under pressure. Pitch so far looks pretty ok to me, don't know how much the rain will effect but it was pretty dry before the rain. Yasir Shah will be the key in this match.
 
Same can' t even play a shot!
He certainly can. He showed it a bit in the second innings of the last match. At least he is seeing off the new ball.
 
Rain stay away ffs!
 
Gem of an innings by Azhar Ali. Great performance Team Green. Australia right on the backfoot at the moment. Superb performance by the batsmen. Azhar Ali has proved that he is a genuine test performer. Performing in Australia is certainly a benchmark and a quality batsman certificate for any player around the world specially if he belongs to Sub-continent.

PS: Listening Bill Lawry after years.... Great to see him.

Bill Lawry does only the Boxing Day test off late. Yes, its always nostalgic listening to him. I feel Pakistan have had a super day today. One session of batting now should take them into a solid position. I can see Australia folding up for less than 200, especially if the weather stays overcast.

Good to see our batsmen treating Lyon like the mediocre bowler he is. We should get as many runs as we can. No point declaring now.
I would dare to say that Azhar is the best opener in world cricket right now.

Murali Vijay and Warner would be right up there. Anyone who has followed India`s overseas test tours to SA, NZ, England and Australia would attest to that. He scored runs in diverse conditions.

Yes, Vijay is definitely in the conversation. Warner has had a quite poor year.
 
With this series, I got a chance to look at Aussie bowlers closely as an audience. I must say that Aussie bowling line up is mediocre apart from Strac who is also struggling with Rhythm if not fitness I think. I am watchful for Maddinson, there has been a lot of talk about him playing for his career :) He might get a ton or score some runs against us and prolong his career a little more lol
