New Zealand all out for 166 runs and they did not enforce the follow on and it might be because Australia have a one bowler shot and they need to have a good healthy lead of 350 runs which they really do not need to fold the New Zealand batting line up but i think they are giving rest to their bowlers by coming out to bat and it is a good decision by the Australian captain.
I don't like the Aussie skipper not talking the follow on. He would have won the match with an innings to spare and that is termed as a big win in Test Cricket. If they want to do a batting practice, that's a separate thing but why prolong a match which can be finished in 3.5 days easily. Now how much lead will they take before declaring. 500 or even more?

i decided to watch the ICC women championship between PAK-W and Eng-W but to my disappointment that match is also stopped and delayed because of rain. 
You can watch the woman's match online? if so do share the link where i can watch that without too much irritating advertisement.You can watch this match live here without any advertisements.

I think no one in interested in watching the Srilanka & Pakistan match because the match is actually not happening and delayed by rain everyday.
You may be talking in international prospective but being a local audience, all of our country people are willing to see our team perform in our home ground.
Since the Pakistan Men test match is going to be delayed again because of the rain, i decided to watch the ICC women championship between PAK-W and Eng-W but to my disappointment that match is also stopped and delayed because of rain.
Anyone still interested in the two ongoing test matches? The first one was washed out (Pakistan vs Sri Lanka). With two days remaining, I am 100% sure that it will end up in a draw. The other test match (NZ vs Australia) is turning out to be an one sided affair with New Zealand trailing by 307 runs with just 5 wickets remaining. Mitchell Starc broke the backbone of New Zealand batting lineup. And this same Mitchell Starc was dropped by stupid Australian selectors during the Ashes series.
More or less the match between SL vs Pakistan is not going to be interesting as just 2 days of play is left and still complete 3 innings to bat is pending . So result is going to be draw itself as rain might come again and halt the match.

The other match between NZ and Aus also not being of any interest, as it look like NZ will lose by an innings if they continue to play like this. They still need more than 100 runs to avoid the follow-on with only 5 wickets remaining.

I agree with you mate, I was saying that Strac should be playing when the Ashes series was on while others in here were saying that he hasn't been in good form. Strac is in Australia's top 2 fast bowlers and should be playing every match. It showed once again why he is one of the best fast bowlers in the world as he has ripped through New Zealand. I was thinking that Australia were taking too long at batting but it looks like it might pay off as they have New Zealand on the ropes right now and surely we won't see another Australia victory with an innings and runs.
Starc and Cummins are the top bowlers for Australia right now and it was surprising to see the selectors dropping Starc in favor of bowlers such as Hazlewood and Pattinson during the Ashes series. Although I don't have anything against either Hazlewood or Pattinson, these bowlers lack the raw pace that Starc possess. And you need 1-2 such bowlers in your squad, to intimidate the opposition.
The match is not as one sided as the one against Pakistan. But even then, I won't be surprised if New Zealand loses this match by an innings. They are still trailing by more than 300 runs and the last recognized pair is at the crease. Very disappointing from New Zealand, after their series victory against one of the big 3 sides (England) last month.

For the first match: I am also believing that it will be end in a draw because its day 3 stumps but still they have to play 3 and half innings to get a result for this match which is highly impossible.Where as the second match,anything can happen in the remaining three days but as far as now AUS looks strong.

LOL, a test match cannot be turned into a T20 format for the audience.
Looking at the weather for next two days, it seems no match would be possible.
I know that it is not possible to play during a Test match, it was a suggestion from me, when two days are lost and it is sure that we will not be able to see a result then there is no point in playing the match further and they need to play a T20 match to entertain the crowd as they have spent money for the ticket and the shorter format is improvised and we can do that if there is no rain in the next two days.Looking at the weather for next two days, it seems no match would be possible.
I still remember lot of test match which has only result to be drawn but both team were playing naturally as any other matches.

Pakistan Vs Srilanka match is boring as only the rain is playing a major role rather than the players. Only 5 overs were possible today and that is a total mess. This is a first International match in Rawalpindi after a long long time and it really disappointed the locals who were eager to watch the team in action in the ground.
It will be a a disappointing match for the local audience as they are witnessing a Test match after a very long time and the weather is not allowing to see the match and they lost two days already and now there is no way we could see a result in this match, they should improvise and play a T20 match if there is no rain in the next two days and entertain the crowd instead

NZ on troubled waters and quite high chances that they may get follow on as well as they are 109/5 meaning 107 runs to save follow on . Oz have now got to the top of this text match and NZ will be under pressure for next 3 days .

So I was busy last few days and could not follow any of the Test. Neither Pak vs Sri nor Aus vs NZ. But I am free now and going to enjoy some cricketing time at home.
Looking at the score and weather in PAK vs SRI match, I do not think there are any excitement left there but in the Aus vs NZ match may be we can find something however NZ seems in the back-foot?

Australia is Australia. Messing around them is not easy :-P
New Zealand is struggling as they lost half their side within 30 overs and they sent out a night watchman and he just lasted one ball 
. Ross Taylor and Watling are the proper batsman left and they will be playing to avoid the follow on and Australia just proved that they are undefeated at home except against India . There more days to go and we will have a result in this match. Jump to:
