Australia struck early on day 2 with a quick wicket but since then its been all Pakistan however they are scoring very slowly right now and if this remains this way through out the match then its highly likely that this match will end in a draw. Australia need to break this partnership or they could be chasing 450+ runs in the first innings.

Today, Haris Sohail and Asad Shafiq continued from where Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Hafeez left yesterday. Once again Pakistani cricket team's performance has taken a very sharp turn and now it'd be interesting to see if they're actually able to win this test match.

Overall, Pakistani batting scored 482 (for all out) in the first innings and now Aaron Finch and Usman Khawaja are out there to target a big partnership.

This test match is looking like it could be a draw as both teams are taking their time when it comes to batting on this pitch. Unless Pakistan can get a few quick wickets on day 3 then it could turn in their favour to win the match but if Australia can bat well and get close to Pakistan's 1st innings total then I think it will end in a draw. Later today is a vital day for both teams to see which team gets the upper hand in this test match.

2 days play is over and Oz are batting at 35 runs without loss. Either OZ will reach near about score of Pakistan or if it can make more than Pakistan then some interesting things can happen. Else as far the current situation is concerned we see it to be  a tie unless some play a match winner role.


Australia after good opening patnership it was looking that they will make good score but after 1st wicket on they got all out in 60 runs cheaply. Pakistan lost 3 wickets for 45 runs looks like wicket is taking turn so i think if pakistan play  well and take lead above 400+ will make easy to defend it.

Man, what an awesome performance by debut-maker Bilal Asif. Even though Pakistani batting line-up is struggling again in this innings, but that's not much concerning as they still have a tall 300+ runs lead. IMO, this match isn't going for a draw; Pakistanis are going to win it.

Well I said it would most likely come a draw if Australia could get close to Pakistan's 1st innings total but as they were bowled out for 202 runs and currently lead by 325 runs then Pakistan should really go on and win this test match because I can't see Australia chasing 400+ runs to win or even even draw.

Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first. It looks like that was the right decision as they are no wicket for 150 runs with the tea break approaching. If they can end today's play with only losing a couple of wickets and have close to 300 runs on the board it will put them in a strong position to win this test match. The next session is vital for Australia if they want to stay in this test match.

Pakistani team is now batting at 255 runs for 3 wickets. Awesome start by Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Hafeez; both have definitely boosted the morale of the whole team. Let's see if the middle-order can continue playing with the same momentum as the openers. Right now, today's time is about to finish.

Pakistan got off to the perfect start making 205 runs before losing their first wicket in Imam ul-Haq for 76, Mohammad Hafeez played well to make a century which has helped put Pakistan in this position but losing 3 wickets for just 50 runs is a bit concerning. I would say that the match is about even with Australia picking up these 3 wickets after the tea break. Now Pakistan are looking at around 350+ runs when they were looking good to make 450+, so day 2 will be interesting to see if Pakistan can bat to make 350+ or be bowled out below that.

The first test match between Pakistan and Australia will be played today in Dubai. It's going to be quite interesting, as Pakistani cricket team doesn't seem ready for a match yet, they've been way too much damaged by their recent bad performance in Asia Cup; however, they're very much used to making a very good return. Roll Eyes

Yes, well this will also be a new look Australian test team without Smith and Warner and 3 new players have come in. So I actually think its going to be a close fought test match and for some reason Australia never seem to play well in the UAE so I give Pakistan a huge chance to win this test match and even win the series.

India look set to make a huge total in the 1st innings of 600+ runs if Kohli can stick around and make 100+. WI really need to come out on day 2 and bowl well to keep India under 600 runs because if they get 600+ runs its all over as the WI batting hasn't been performing well in recent times so it would be tough for them. India need to bounce back from their poor test series with England which they look to be doing even though its against a weak test team.

Indians are always good at playing on home pitches but do totally opposite on other countries. India already reached 649 runs and last wicket left and Jadeja is in good form so if Shami give him some support. But the current total is already good enough for this WI to put under pressure and win this match since WI players are not good form. But as you said this huge win may give a very good confidence to Indian players to go to the next match.

India declared 649/9 and west indies lose 3 wickets for 25 runs, Mostly this match india will win with an innings if they all out west indies in low score and give them follow on. West Indies are not playing with their big players so india are having double advantage of home ground and Weak west indies players.
In test matches West Indies is now second grade team as most of players want to play different twenty/20 leagues and limited over games which is killing them very badly in last few years if they want in this formate they need to do some hard work and good planing for future otherwise they will be down and out.


The match turned out to be one sided and India beat WI by a margin of 272 runs and a innings which is a huge difference and as expected mostly the match had to end on 3rd day and it happened and thus India lead the series by 1-0.


This 3rd day also had because India batted for first day full if not it would have finished on 2nd day itself. It shows that As i have stated before This west indies team is not playing with their big players who are now interested to play only T20 and with only associate games. Due to some internal problem with west indies cricket board all major players are not playing for their country.

At the end of days play WI are 94/6 and India will force them to play follow on and make WI bat again. So chances are that if WI loose quick wickets game can get over tomorrow or max next day. It is turning out to be one sided match and also Kohli and Jadeja did made the century today.


A totally one-sided game it is and also it turned out to be pretty boring now. A quite predictable game as they already lost their 6 wickets and they will surely be followed on and with this performance by WI, I predict India will win without even batting for 2nd Innings, and it is quite possible.
Indian Cricket team's real challenge will be against Australia, though their 2 best players being out of the game, I believe Aussies will still give some tough fight. Before that in October, we will get to see some good ODI matches, South Africa Tour of Australia, 3 ODIs and 1 T20.

The T10 League (season 2) will begin on 23rd November (and will last till 2nd December). The teams have selected their players, and some big names are included.

I personally don't like this one, T20's enough, less than 20 overs is madness. Ten overs for ten players? Roll Eyes

T10 League, season 2: Everything you need to know: https://www.thestatesman.com/sports/t10-league-season-2-everything-need-know-1502690390.html

T20 is still a bit lengthy for me. Consider this, an average soccer match gets over in 90 minutes, but a T20 match takes almost twice that much time. T10 is an attempt to make cricket matches shorter, so that more people can afford to watch them.
