Australia tour of Pakistan - 3 tests, 3 ODIs and 1 t20i

Saala BKL, and then he says India should play Pak.
 
Even if they gifted PoK, I wouldn't want our players to play on these tracks.

Aajo.

Flat pitch or not.. batting out 172 overs for a draw in a test 

 

also draw was the best possible result lol for us lol. Now hopefully Aussies get docked points for over rate too 

[Suhaan]

Shafique did quite well ,added pressure of being a newcomer i must say

[Jay]

Good performance by poyzz but poor result. Very average team but they did well and showed fighting spirit. 

[Jay]

This game was pretty enthralling actually but they should make it slightly more bowling friendly. High scoring games with possible result is good. Pakistan will always have the minnow mentality in tests though. Never go for win.

Rizwan: "after tea Babar and I tried to go for it (the target), but because of tight bowling with a very old ball that wasn't coming onto the bat well at all due to the pitch, we had to give up the chase"

Yea right. Sure *er was dropped twice lmao.

Abdullah opened it and started the hunt of 500 in one inning with an excellent blockathon against the new ball.

 

Babar came at 4, and kept the scoreboard ticking and lifted Pakistan's chances of securing a draw and one moment even a win while he was on crease. Captain's knock.

 

Rizwan came at 6 and steadied the tail at death to draw it with a century of his own.

 

Class teamwork by these 3 and great fulfillment of roles. 

 

Yes they all should be honored with a Nishan-e-Paxtan and 10 crores worth property in model town Lahore for their out of the world contributions in saving a test match on home soil.

All Pakistani players deserve a treat. They deserve to have a dalliance with mehwish hayat.

Well played Australia for making match out of this crappy pitch but credit has to be given to Pakistani batsmen for drawing this match.

O mere bhai

Appreciate good stuff sometime

 

It was an epic draw and probably better advert for test cricket than the Ind v Srl series

 

"Epic draw" due to pathetic batting in the first innings. Otherwise it was a 1 innings test for both team.  Absolutely nothing in it for the bowlers. Almost all the countries produce result oriented pitches except Pakistan. They still live in the 80s.

[vvvslaxman]

Irfan/Balaji bowled out a better batting line up on similar surfaces :)  despite so many dropped catches by Indians.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Well played Pakistan- Rizwan n babar are gems for them and now shafique is a quality find (guy lacks FC exp which will show in future but quality is very much their)

Pakistan is still in 1980s except in 80s their fast bowlers were allowed to mutilate balls and don't forget home cooked umpires.

Yes we had Kumble too with his pace and bounce ,his flippers were quite handy

Infact Kumble would have done wonders in this current t20 age

yea right. and then parkis wake up. it was a shitfest. so many dropped catches. wrong drs calls. 

[putrevus]

First time since 1970s , you can say Pakistan has better batting than bowling.They have very decent batting lineup with nice mixture youth and experience.Their bowling is god awful.

[GeeGaw]

I never want PAK to win a match except against ENG, but hats off to them for batting out two full days minus about 5 overs.

 

Babar is definitely in the top echelon of current batsmen and Rizwan could be the most underrated cricketer out there today.  The stand he put up in the second NZ test last year doesn't get the credit it deserves because they wound up losing, but he darn near saved that match for PAK... made it a lot closer than it ever should have been.
