This is genius stuff from Pakistan...  They knew they had no chance in Perth.  Stacked the side with all rounders & playing Tuk Tuk cricket.  Even Amir Jamal can bat. 

Australia need to earn this victory lol...  Top notch defensive technique being displayed. 

 

They want to draw this match and brag for the rest of their life on how they drew a match after so many years. Get ready for a deluge of Pakturds drawing comparisons with the Indian team on the basis of a favourable result in this match.

It will be great result for them...  Still a long way to go though.   Batting last here won't be easy. 

Also will give them confidence to perhaps fluke a test win in SA next summer..

Good start from Pakistan...atleast they are not rolling over against Aussies which was expected.

 

Pak has not even drawn a test match there, let alone win, since 1993

They won a test in Sydney in 1995 but yeah last drawn test match was in 1993.

Aussies will be relentless tomorrow, even fielding/catching will come into play, Aussies batted so fast and these bozos are dead batting everything. Aus win is a guarantee, only it may go till day 5.

Cracks will open up in coming days, good luck handling Lyon here on day 5. Pak has resisted better for few days even in earlier tours but this kind of negative, defeatist mindset never works there.

Pakistan might have finally found a match to at least draw it in Aus since 1995.  That is in last 28 years, it  has LOST all matches in Australia. Lost 14 matches straight   in a row!!!

yep wickets fall in clusters and then extra runs conceded bites back in the arse. I predict them to be all out for less than 300 even this innings.

Looks like Imam is assigned role of Pujara. He is batting really well.

Gill is so low on confidence that he doesn't even hv a clue on which ball is sliding down leg (while batting). Same thing happened in the 5th t20 vs Windies earlier this year.  It was going down leg & he didn't opt for review.

Zero sporting IQ. Not physicality. If it's brute physicality we have many such people in our country. Zero sporting iq and shitty sport culture is the reason for our under representation in most sports. In gills case, he is just plain dumb.

Poyzz 195/6

Pak won’t save this, 6 down now for 195. Bat too slow you get nowhere in a 5 day test match.

Hero of Karachi Totla Sarfu bhai gone....  Maulana Rizwan back in second test looks like.

Should have played the 4 day game instead of T20s...  Now he is rested for ODIs his best format.  Dravid at work
