Now after watching current series and few next years visits any one can predict that first final of WTC is going to be played between Australia vs India as both right now on top and for next few months they can mainatain their lead and can stay at top of list no one going to challenge them.

I would add New Zealand as well. their WTC schedule seems easy because they are not touring England and South Africa. England is excellent in the home condition and South Africa tours are always tough for any visiting team in comparison of Pakistan (UAE) Bangladesh, Srilanka or West Indies.

Even before the ball tampering issue Warner hasn't played this well. Once after getting suspended from playing cricket he has made himself much more better. From the re-entry to the international cricket after specific time period his performances were tremendous. Smith too accompanies him, but the level of play isn't up to that of Warner. An example for the same is this match against Pakistan.
Warner was struggling in the Ashes against England but he was performing in the short version of the match and now he is back in prime form when the subcontinent teams start touring them and he is playing his best cricket in test after a very long time and they are building a solid team as the rest of the players are also keeping up with the same level of performance.

Australian do need to show some hospitality to the visitors.  Undecided
There needs to be a rule that should force the home team to show some hospitality to visitors if not it will be a brutal series where all the bowlers are struggling to contain the runs as well as not able to pick any wickets and the Pakistan batsman are struggling to score runs while the Australian batsman are scoring centuries every innings and improving their personal average  Cheesy.

Australia is looking for a record target and Smith might not even get a chance to bat in this game too as David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne is still batting and they might look to improve on their overnight score and can possible score double centuries and by that time Australia will have enough runs on the board to put pressure on Pakistan and possible win by a huge margin as they are scoring at well over 4 runs per over is ridiculous.

We will start a request tweet to the Australian captain to declare the innings as soon as possible so that the match will not finish soon and Australia will have the opportunity to come back and bat in the second innings  Cheesy. It is great to see that Australia is performing really well, India, New Zealand and Australia are the top performers in Test cricket and if you want to see a good matches we need to have matches between them.

Holy moly Pakistani bowler took a quite a beating from Warner and Marnus today. 4.14 runs per over tells you complete story of day 1st.

Its quite funny that no one is talking about how dead this pitch is for bowler on very first day. but everyone likes to pull out their guns when something similar happens in the Indian subcontinent. - bunch of hypocrites IMO-

I agreed with you they cryed only when this happen in Sub-Continent but as this happen in Australia or England no one ever cry as they have most hypocrite experts and media which is hurting beauty of this Gentlemen game.

That's how it is among cricket experts and fans as well, no one can't do anything about this anyway.

When Australia bowls it will behave like a bowling pitch and that is the irony, yes the pitch is not that great and the batsman are playing fearlessly,
We can't say that for sure but When considering pakistan's batting and history its very much possible.

The performance from the Pakistani bowlers was nothing short of disgraceful. The partnership between David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne is just six runs short of 300, and at no point during the day any of the Pak bowlers looked as if they are going to cause any trouble for the Australian batsmen. I guess Australia will score above 600 in their first innings.

David Warner 166 runs is an unforgettable innings  and Marnus Labuschagne with 122 is not far away from him. Both of them are playing so good and with 9 wickets still remaining Australia can score 700 - 800 runs but they may declare the innings depending upon the weather conditions. They would definitely want to win the test before it can be ruined by rain.

Edit: lol I am mixing the weather conditions for NZ vs ENG with this match

The problem with teams from subcontinent is that they made very polite. I have heard very few teams questioning the pitch when they made playing outside. They should also start asking such question, then only such issues can be stopped
How you can question a pitch the home country is making, the visitors usually have to play in a pitch the home board is presented and there is no questions asked as far as i know, they can only question if the pitch will not sustain the entire match and there is no specific rules and regulations regarding that, if Australia made a batting friendly wicket then Pakistan can score runs and end up in a draw and lets see how the match will end Wink.

Another century by Warner while Marnus is looking to score another one himself pretty soon. Shaheen is only one that has impressed so far. At this stage, I feel like there is absolutely no hope left for Pakistan in this series and this could end in a whitewash.
Joe Burns missed his opportunity to improve his average while Warner is scoring runs in tons and Labuschagne is ten short of a century and he will be scoring a century and the sad part is that Steve Smith did not have a role in this series as he is not getting any opportunity to bat and the team is in strong position throughout the series and the whitewash in inevitable.

They are number 2 in the test for a reason and i am looking forward to India tour of NZ. Kiwis fast bowlers against indian best Batsman Kohli and Indian fast bowlers against Kiwi best batsman Williamson -he's not in touch for quite sometimes- but we can still expect good competition.
Agreed. New Zealand will have the edge due to their home ground advantage and their win against England recently, but India seems to be in another league at the moment(Especially if Bumrah is back in the squad) which is why this will be an exciting series.

Australia is batting really well and David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne looking for another century and Pakistan will keep on bowling until the Australian captain decide to declare  Cheesy.

Point table : Heads up, this series is not part of World Test Championship. No points for winners in this series.

They are lucky this series is not related to World Test Championship.
Agreed. England are way too lucky this year while NZ is way too unlucky this year. NZ are proving why they are a force to be reckoned with in tests currently especially after getting beaten by inches through out this year by England.

They are number 2 in the test for a reason and i am looking forward to India tour of NZ. Kiwis fast bowlers against indian best Batsman Kohli and Indian fast bowlers against Kiwi best batsman Williamson -he's not in touch for quite sometimes- but we can still expect good competition.

True, They should easily reach 450 score. Yasir shah and Musa taking good beating from OZ so far.

As far as my knowledge this series was schedule way before Test Championship came into the play. under WTC every team needs to play 6 series (3 away and 3 home) including this series means England would have played extra away series.
May be that is the case, they scheduled the tournament before the introduction of Test championship, 36 overs lost today in the match due to rain and if the rain continue to disrupt then the match will be a draw.
