I have to disagree here. The pitch did change drastically favouring the bowlers immensely, but the Pakistan batsmen should have been more patient since almost all of them are experienced players.
They didn't play in the aggressive mode though. They were playing in the defensive mode, but the ball was swinging unexpectedly. Which has caused the collapse in the batting lineup. Pakistan has used the spinners more to create pressure on Australia. They had taken an early wicket, but it wasn't enough. Australia has comfortably faced the balls and won the match easily.

This is not something new, Pakistan team is always having a whitewash at Australia. They are not able to manage pressure when playing at Australia. See they have good advantage in first innings but were not able to capitalise that advantage in second innings. Babar Azam who is backbone of Pakistan batting was not able to score even a fifty in his six innings, his highest score was 41. Players like Babar Azam need some break they are over hyped.

So fascinating to see how much Indian board is dominating but it doesn't look good for the future of cricket right?
Wrong. The Indian board is dominating because their country has the highest population in the world and many of them watch cricket on a regular basis which is why they deserve the high percentile share.T20 is great and we see more people are watching it but look at what it is doing, to the traditional cricket form which is test cricket and we witnessed the shortest test match recently between IND vs SA and the last record was in 19th century.
Franchise sports are more of a business than sport so if it starts to take over the international games then we may not see the cricket to be seen as a real sport.
Wrong again. Firstly, which major sport isn't a business? Secondly, franchise leagues helped cricket as a sport immensely recently. Leagues like the IPL rank among top NBA, NFL, FIFA leagues these days.Exactly, all these leagues are more money than the actual sport which uses the fanactics drive their business and try to reach new heights.

Yeh you are right paksitani team were mostly in trouble especially in test series against Australia at thier home ground and the only guy who mostly punished Australian and put his team out of danger zone is baber Azam and we have seen some quality innings from him at previous test series too so if he manage to score decent then paksitan will be on a driving seat to be victorious but recently baber is going with one of his worst time and without his contribution none of our player can Handel Australian quality bowler.Anyway paksitan lose his last match too and give a handsome gift to warner on his last match of his test career. I taught paksitan will give them tough time as still they have Rizwan and Jamal on crease at start of the day but unfortunately they unable to make any difference.

You are right the innings of Pakistan was far better than the second innings. They lost because of poor batting otherwise they could have either draw the match if they had good lead. Pakistan bowling has not been as it was earlier. I am not sure taking action against the bowler will be the right thing to do who opted out of the test series.

Pakistan should be blamed for the last test loss. Their batting was been an issue which needs to be worked on. The only good thing that happened with Pakistan in this series is that they found a good player Aamer Jamal. Mohmmad Hafiz wanted to beat Australia in Australia, end up getting defeated 3 - 0. A total failure of Pakistan batting can be blamed for the whitewash.
Pakistan team performed poorly in both innings due to which Australia team managed to win easily in the last stage. Warner scored a half century between the two entering the field as the first opening batsman. Labuschagne scored 62 runs in this match, the performance of the Australian team was very good. Australia won by 8 wickets at the last minute, the best performance in all three test matches. But unfortunately Pakistan team could not win a single match.With a target of just 130 runs, victory was not possible against an experienced team like Australia. Australian team reached the target of victory by losing two wickets. Second innings Warner scored 57 runs and Labuschagne scored 62 runs.
Pakistan collected a decent one in their first innings. A collection of 313 runs was good enough to fight back. If they could have batted a bit better in the second innings and were able to collect 200-250 then maybe they could have won this match. The Australian team won all three of the three test match series by big margins. The overall condition of the Pakistan team is very bad now.

For the very first time in this series Pakistan batting clicked in first innings of last test and there bowlers did a good job to restrict Aussies to 299. Now in second innings Pakistan should have scored 250 if they can't make another 300. The whole batting line up collapsed on just 115 runs. Pakistan should take some serious actions against its so called best bowlers who either abstained from participating in this series or got unfit in the series.

Australia vs Pakistan, 3rd Test is just ended and Australia won the match once again by 8 wkts and thus they won the series by leading 3-0. In first inning, Pakistan was suffering at 96-5 when their top ordered batsman got out but 88 runs from Mohammad Rizwan and 84 runs from Aamer Jamal, help Pakistan to reached 313 score. What an extra ordinary performance by Aamer Jamal, he just made a impossible to become possible. And Pat Cummins got 5 wickets in 1st innings which was epic & became PLAYER OF THE SERIES. well Australia also bat well , scored samilar as Pakistan and Aamer Jamal got 6 wickets lol. In 2nd inning, Pakistan got down with 115-10 which was the reason Australia won the match easily But PLAYER OF THE MATCH goes to Aamer Jamal, he is incredible
Like the previous test matches again Pakistan team disappointed me. I was thinking that Pakistan will win this test match. When they managed 313 runs in the first inning. But Australia is a strong team and they made 299 runs. After that Pakistan disappointed me in second inning and they just collected 115 runs. And the target was 130 runs. And Australia chased the target easily. That was a pride moment when Aamer Jamal get the player of the match reward. Of course his performance was admirable he collected 6 wickets and 82 runs in the first inning.
1 st inning of Pakistan team, Pakistan team scored 313 runs in 77.1 overs and all wickets dismissed. In 1 st inning, Pakistan team performance was outstanding but in 2 nd inning they lost 7 wickets and scored only 82 runs. Australia team chase down 299 runs in their 1 st inning and after their 1 st inning. Pakistan lead by 14 runs but I think they did not make good runs in 2 nd inning almost 2 more wickets are left for bat. M.Rizwan performance was brilliant in 1 st inning, he scored 88 runs in 103 balls and he hitted ten 4s and two 6s. S.Agha also achieved half century and he scored 53 runs in 67 balls and he hitted eight 4s. A.jamal scored 82 runs in 94 balls and he hitted nine 4s and four 6s.
When Saim Ayub was batting on 33, Lyon came to the ball to him and Babar, and the ball was good and Saim Ayub could easily play it but he wanted to tip in this ball and considered it as a dot but it was hit on his pad and after touching the pads the ball went in the hands of the fielder, the umpire gave his decision out by seeing both of them and Saim Ayub thought that is it not out so after a long session of Saim Ayub with Babar, Saim Ayub took the review, and in the review he was clearly out with the rule of leg before wicket so he was should need to go back.
Due to the bad batting performances by the Pakistan team they were all out at 115 in the 2nd innings and Australia won this test match by 8 wickets. Another strong victory by the Australian team at Sydney today.

Australia whitewashed Pakistan as expected and they won 17 test matches against them in a row without a single draw in between which goes to show how pathetic Pakistan has been performing over the years on Australian soil.
Also, I will miss watching David freaking Warner in tests and ODIs since he is irreplaceable if you ask me. Legend!

Australia won the third test by 8 wickets. Starting at 67/7 on the fourth day, Pakistan, Rizwan and Amir Jamal tried hard to prolong the match. But when Rizwan was dismissed for 109 runs, Pakistan's score stalled at 115 runs. Chasing an easy target of 130 runs, despite the loss of Usman Khawaja's wicket in the first over, David Warner's 57 and Labuchange unbeaten 62 saw Australia on the brink of victory. In the third Test, Pakistan performed well in the first innings, but could not find their performance in the second innings. Australia whitewashed Pakistan by winning the series 3-0.
I was hoping that David Warner would remain not out, and thereby get his test average above 45. But that never happened, as he got out to Sajid Khan. He ended his test career with a total of 8786 runs, with an average of 44.59 (used to be above 50, but during the later phase of his career, it dipped below 45). Played a total of 112 tests for Australia and his absence will be felt in the test team. And also, it was nice to see Labuschagne hitting the ball with such confidence. Too early to say whether he has regained his form though.
