Australia VS Pakistan 2nd Test

The second Test of the Pakistan vs Australia Test series has already started. Pakistan won the toss and decided to bowl. A total of three matches will be played in this Test series. Australia put in a great performance on their home turf to win the first match, taking a 1-0 lead. Pakistan did not perform well in the first test due to which they lost by a huge margin. Pakistan has to perform well in this test otherwise there is a possibility of losing this test too. If Australia can win this test then the series will be won. It is expected that Pakistan will try to do well in this match. So far Australia has collected 11 runs in 4 overs. Let's see how many runs Pakistan can stop Australia at the end.
Pakistan decision of bowling first is not good beacuse if Australia arr successful to score a big total in first inning then Pakistan bastem will be under pressure and lost early wickets as happened in frist test match. Australia current score is 95 runs with loss of only 1 wickets in 30 overs first session of 2nd test match. Usman khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne is playing very good after first wickets down of David Warner at score of 38 runs. Salman ali agha picked the opening first big wicket of david Warner who is playing good. Pakistan  needs early wickets but the fast bowlers didn't perform well in first session of match.
Australia won their first test match by 360 runs and today in the second test match Australia bats first for the first innings.  Both Pakistan and Australia are good enough for cricket and they have a lot of reputation in the game of cricket but for test match Australia is much better than Pakistan and again they can beat Pakistan by a big price margin. Because Pakistan can't play well in Test matches, they lose wickets quickly. Australia have scored 110 runs so far but only 2 wickets have fallen so it is a bit predictable that they can cross 400 runs in the first innings.

Appears Jaiswal and Rohit will open for India today, Jaiswal usually plays aggressive let's see what's his tempo in tests. Dunno if it's already mentioned but Gaikwad was ruled out of series due to finger injury and Abhimanyu Easwaran has replaced him.

Abhimanyu Easwaran has been one of the consistent performers in Ranji Trophy for quite some time. While the media whines about the case of Sarfaraz Khan, they ignore that of others like Abhimanyu. There are a few others like him in domestic cricket, such as Manisankar Murasingh of Tripura, Rex Singh of Manipur and Aniket Choudhary of Rajasthan. Bengal's poor recent form hasn't helped him either. Even in this series, he has been called up as a backup player and there is no chance that he will get to play.

We saw some great batting from David Warner in the first innings in the first Test against Australia vs Pakistan. So the Pakistani captain decided to bowl after winning the toss. Of course, the bowlers in Pakistan should not build a partnership with Australia's opening pair. Will have to try to pick up the wicket of David Warner because if David Warner survives once he will score a century. Since Pakistan lost the first test by a huge margin to Australia, they will have to bounce back in the second test. They will have to restrict Australia to very few runs with good bowling. The current score of the Australian team is 50 runs for 16 overs.

Pakistan XI : Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Shan Masood (c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, Hasan Ali, Aamer Jamal, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mir Hamza
Australian XI : Usman Khawaja, David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

Australia playing without any change and Pakistan having few changes due to injuries, but they are in this match without any specialist spinner.
We have another bad start as Abdullah Shafique drop David Warner catch on Shaheed Afridi bowling in 3rd over's last ball another big inning from lefty coming now again.

It seriously sucks when politics gets involved way too deeply with sports like in Pakistan's case currently. Babar wasn't the best captain for sure, but he was doing a decent job and they were slowly and steadily improving as a team.

However, the recent changes made them worse. Another example is Afghanistan effectively banning Mujeeb, Naveen and Farooqi for internal reasons.
Here I agreed with you and sadly this is not only case with Pakistan we have few other countries are also suffering with this badly but no one can change this attitude because this is dilemma in power and politics game change of Ramiz Raja was starting for the Pakistan to have another bad patch and downfall which is going to take long time with we are not expecting any changes in near future and current management is completely non-professional even they have few former cricketers, but they are not good as we want for management in this game.

Changes in Afghanistan and few more Asian countries are surely having same issues because the peoples in control they want all things as they wish and have no harm to ban or leave out quality players without any reason.

The team Pakistan also had improved their game in the Asia region in the sports.But the political influence was still available in the cricket team selection.If the government allow them to play without influence,then we get good team for the Pakistan.The possibility of the team selecting must be begin with skills and experience.If this was happened in the Pakistan cricket team,then it help the Pakistan will score the good run in the upcoming 20 over World Cup of T20 matches.Australian team had the good experience in the own soil,So the only good team can make the winning against the Australian team in their soil.

This is not the first time Pakistan team is having a tough time at Australia. They always had hard time while playing at Australian Soil. Boxing test will start in 4 hours from now and things are not looking good for Pakistan. Your point is correct that there is hue influence of politics in PCB that's why they are suffering heavily at the moment. Players like Imam and Shan Masood are playing just because they have solid backing of people who have influence in PCB. Shan Masood who is captain of Pak test team was not even part of test squad before this series. He was brought in and made captain straight away.

Tomorrow is the second test match of Pakistan and Australia, and this match will be set to play in Melbourne, and if we remember that when the Pakistan team played in Melbourne so what happened?

The Pakistan team played their last match in Melbourne in 2022 where the T20 2022 World Cup final was played against England, and unfortunately for Pakistan team, they lost, In that World Cup, Pakistan struggled to come in the final, and the Netherlands helped Pakistan to qualify in the Semi-Final and Pakistan won Semi Final against New Zealand but they cannot win final That's History now.

Although the past matches, do not matter much, but we cannot deny the history. Also recently, the Pakistan team lost badly against Australia and this may be another red flag for them and they need to focus more.

We cant compare T20 performance with test. Pakistan is still competitive in T20 format but they are struggling in test matches. The first test proved to be a nightmare for both bowlers and batsmen of Pakistan. Fitness is a concern for Pakistani squad. With few exceptions almost all bowlers are either unfit or struggling to perform. Batsmen like Imam are too defensive and with this defensive you cant either score runs or win matches against team like Australia.

noormcs5 I absolutely agree that Pakistan has to do far better than what they did in the last match. Because they will have no chance otherwise. And Australia is of course going to try to make another dominating display if given the chance. So Pakistan will have to play extra carefully and also not give any chances to Australia. It is definitely going to be hard for Pakistan. But they have to at least try. Their pride was already hurt by the last match. They have to plan well and give their 100% to actually have a go at the revenge. Will they be able to get something out of this match? I don't know to be honest. But the way Australia is playing right now, I wouldn't be surprised if another score like the last match is produced, to be honest.

2 big tests incoming. Pakistan will look to take revenge in the second test against Australia on their home turf though their chances don't really look good. On the other hand, South Africa and India will kick off their test series.

Truly sucks that all of these teams need to play during the Christmas - New Year week which is the biggest festive week of the year.

I am very excited to watch this match. In the first Test match of the series, we saw very poor  batting from Pakistan batsmen. Also, the performance of the bowlers was not good in this match. Pakistan scored 271 runs in the first innings and  only 89 runs in the second innings. But expect the Pakistani batsmen to bat responsibly in the second and final match, they should  definitely learn from their previous mistakes.
 
Pakistan squad has a lot of talented players. Even then  the team is not doing  well. We haven't seen a better performance from Pakistan in the World Cup either. We will not see a better performance from Pakistan in this series against Australia as well. Pakistan team is very badly trucked..

Yes, Pakistan gives very poor performance in 1st test match against Australia. Pakistan lost this match very badly 360 runs a huge defeat in test match. I think Pakistan will make a good comeback by defeating Australia and level the series by winning second test match but problem is that Pakistan fast bowlers didn't perform well. Shaheen Shah Afridi only picked 1 wicket in 1st test match and now team management think they will take rest in next match. This is huge setbacks for Pakistan if Shaheen is not plying yesterday against Australia. Pakistan will look to add Hassan Ali or Mir Hamaza to playing eleven  in second test match.
op I agree with you Pakistan batted really badly in the first test match. Australia won the first test very convincingly. So Pakistan team should play very carefully in the second test. Pakistan's batting was a failure in the first test so they need to increase their runs in the second test so that they don't lose wickets too quickly. The opening pair should build a long partnership and give the opposition a big run lead. Of course, Pakistan team's bowling line is very good and they need to do better in the second test if they want to win.

The first test between India and South Africa will start by tomorrow. And the good news for India is that Temba Bavuma has been included in the squad (and that too as the skipper) yet again. So effectively they are playing with 10 players against India. The match will take place at the SuperSport Park in Centurion and the pitch is likely to offer equal amount of support for both the seamers as well as spinners. India is likely to go with 3 pacers (Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah and Shardul Thakur) and one spinner (Ravichandran Ashwin).

First of all, Bavuma is better player in test cricket while playing in SA condition and he actually got better avg than KL, Rohit in test at SA and FYI team India never won test series in SA so clearly they are not favorites but they have better edge to be cause SA middle order is weaker compared to team India.

There won't be any assistance for spin at Centurion as far as stats analyst opinion, so India likely to go with 4 pacers and Jaddu or Ashwin.

India will definitely miss Shami in this match, who is second-highest wicket taker for team India against SA.

I cant remember when Pakistan last time won a test match in Australia. Pakistan has good record against Australia at UAE but terrible in grounds of Australia. Second test is must win for Pakistan since they have lost the first test match. Mir Hamza or Hassan Ali will replace Khurram Shahzad. In absence of key bowlers the responsibility lies on shoulders on Pakistani batsmen they need to perform well in both innings. If Pakistani batting lineup failed then there wont be anyone in bowling department to rescue them.

The test between India Women vs Australia Women took around 4 days to be done. I must say, Australia start up wasn't good enough, probably scored 7-2 in 1st inning and had done around same score in both innings, 219 & 261 respectively Where only Tahlia McGrath did great performance 50s & 73s run personally and Ashleigh Gardner got 5wickets in total. Then when it comes to india woman, they totally changed the game while they started batting as response and recorded 406 as score. I think each player Played well. Specially Smriti Mandhana 74s & *38s in both match. She was deserving player of the match but Sneh Rana is announced for that as she able to took 7 wickets in total.

The visiting team India is going to take the field in the first test match against South Africa tomorrow. After a good ODI and T20 series, India's full focus is now on the Test series. Test cricket may be a long game but Test matches between India and South Africa are usually very interesting. South Africa will definitely want to win the first Test match to at least advance in the Test series. Since India traveled to South Africa to play the full series, I thought South Africa had a chance to do well in the T20I and ODI series, but South Africa did not do well in the T20I and ODI series. I don't see South Africa doing much good against India in the Test series but still hope this match will be an interesting match.
