The second day's game of Australia vs South Africa test match have begun. As Warner is nearing the 50 runs, he's making runs very slowly.
Australians are dominating south Africa in this 2nd test match of the series, at first warner score runs too slowly but after set on pitch he almost hit 16 boundaries as well 2 six and score a stunning double century what a gem player, but unfortunately when he jump during celebration of his double century he hit with ground and got injured, after injury he left the ground and replace with other batter.
The way Australia defeat South Africa in First team I am pretty sure that they will easy beat them in second test match, because they has score 386 in 90 over while just 3 batter are dismissed.

3rd big home series for Pakistan and another road is prepared to welcome SENA country. This is happening in an era where every random country at least tries to introduce result-oriented pitches.

No wonder stands are empty throughout this run fest barring a few days in 32 active days of test cricket.

Let's hope there are some cracks for spinners on the 4th- 5th day otherwise it would be good to introduce bowling machines for such pitches.

Criticism keeps rolling from the viewers whenever a player fails to perform as expected. Most of the time leading players will be trolled and these players never take these things big. Because they know well about their own ability. No one can perform constantly, there'll be breaks. We can't blame the viewers, because when the expectation isn't fulfilled the same creates negative thoughts over the players.
Makes sense, but so many trolls cross certain limits like scolding their families etc which is why such trolls need to be banned completely from all social media platforms in my honest opinion.

Kiwis are very much set to chase such big score, pakistan tomorrow needs to take quick wickets early morning to break the partnership between latham and Conway.
Babar Azam performance brilliantly in this match and contributed alot to his team now ballers have to perform to win this match.
New Zealand are playing brilliantly at the moment and I am expecting this match to end in a draw unless we witness a Pakistan collapse in the 2nd innings.

Pakistan are basically close to losing hope for qualifying for the second spot in the WTC finals at the moment.

Pakistan after having an impressive day yesterday is now again struggling on their homeground. Babar Azam was the only reason why they were able to score 350+ runs .
It's totally true that Pakistan runs such a huge score of 350+ due to the presence of Baber Azam on a pitch. Because baber Azam is the only batter who always take the responsibility as a captain to push the team toward wining side, after baber Salman agha score a sensational century of his career and build a strong target of 438.
400 runs which in my opinion is good score and it wouldn't be easy for Kiwi batter to chase those runs.
Yeh it will be if Pakistani bowler took few wickets in early but they didn't and now they has almost build a partnership of more than 160 runs while no wicket is dismissed. Now Pakistan need a wicked to end the partnership otherwise it will be easy chase for kiwi.

Pakistan after having an impressive day yesterday is now again struggling on their homeground. Babar Azam was the only reason why they were able to score 350+ runs and now after he got out they have lost 6 wickets and are unable to score runs. Overall I am certain they would be able to reach to 400 runs which in my opinion is good score and it wouldn't be easy for Kiwi batter to chase those runs.
Yes indeed pakistan started great game in batting i think pakistan can score like 420 runs today. pakistan have lost 7 wickets till now. they still have 3 wickets left. pakistan batsman babar azam he batting amazingly. 161 off 280 balls  Babar Azam is out for a run. If Babar Azam could have played a few more overs, he might have scored a few more runs.
Pakistan ended the innings for 438 runs. This is good score for the first innings. The players at the bottom have contributed good. After Babar Azam, it is Agha Salman who have played an awesome innings scoring 103 runs out of 155 balls. New Zealand need to start the innings strong, and early wicket fall should not happen. Early wicket fall increase the winning chance of Pakistan.
Pakistan collected good runs in their first innings now they should focus on their balling for taking wickets as Newzealand have settled comfortably on the pitch.
Tomorrow new start of day and Pakistan nerd to focus on wickets if they want to win this test match otherwise till now match is totally in Newzealand hands.

It is a very good sign that players like Agha Salman and Sarfaraz have played very well. Rizwan has been out of form for a long time. If Rizwan had been able to perform well against England then maybe Pakistan would not have been defeated in all the Test matches. Against New Zealand, Babar, Salman and Sarfraz played very well. However, after collecting 438 runs on such a pitch, it cannot be said that Pakistan is in a safe place. The match seems more likely to be a draw. New Zealand scored 92 runs without losing any wickets.
Pakistan ended up their inningd on 438 runs all out , Good match  played by Pakistani batsman Babar Azam, Sarfaraz and Agha Salman. So the decision taken by PCB so far seems to be good for Pakistan team.
Newzealand  is batting now and they are very much settled on pitch as they have made 143 runs no loss of wickets.  Latham and Conway made their half centuries  if they keep on batting like that the match is very much in theri control.

Warner got to his 200 and then retired hurt. He seems to be in trouble and has difficulty in walking back to the pavillion. Meanwhile Keshav Maharaj has hit a century for South Africa. He has conceded 102 runs till now. Now it is up to Cameroon Green and Travis Head to take Australia to a total where they don't need to bat again. Till now the South African bowlers have conceded 344 runs and taken just two wickets with the ball. And this is the same MCG pitch where they were bowled out for a total of less than 200.

100th test of his career, locking horns with the cricket board over captaincy drama and playing against the same opponent where his downfall started a few years back.

But still showing his class with the bat and that too as an opener. Arguably as an opener, Warner does rank very high in modern cricket.

Aussie are batting out Proteas from this match and ICT fans would hope maybe potentially from WTC final's race too.

This test match is turning out to be a completely one sided one. Hardly any South African bowler has been effective today. Smith might now reach is century as he has already scored 60 runs. If Warner and Smith stay on the pitch the whole day then 300+ runs can be easily achieved by the Australian team.

Australia is having a lead of 60 runs, with 8 wickets in hand. It looks as if Australia will win this match by an innings. In all probability they will make a total of 500 plus and then bowl out South Africa once again for a total of less than 200. Till now, South African bowlers have taken just one wicket (the other wicket to fall, that of Marnus Labuschagne was run out). Kagiso Rabada has taken one wicket and the other bowlers have gone wicketless. And the third wicket partnership is nearing 200 runs (more than what the South Africans managed in their first innings).

Yet, we're watching David Warner who is putting on a masterclass of his own. There is nothing new about this performance from the Aussies. A record stand was put on by Warner and Smith to take control of the game. SA is facing difficulties with bat and ball, despite being a great test team. They are lacking high-quality players, and that is a sad reality.

Australia is already leading by 32 runs, with the partnership between David Warner and Steven Smith adding 147 runs till now. All the South African bowlers are looking ineffective, including their pacers and the spinners. Kagiso Rabada is the only one who managed to take a wicket till now, but even he has conceded more than 4 runs per over. For the boxing day crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), this is good entertainment. Warner has hit his century and in some time Steve Smith maybe able to reach that mark as well. And then they have Travis Head, Cameron Green and Alex Carey to come.

Warner is inching close to a century.. which is good for him. But at the same time, I am disappointed with the one-sided nature of this test match. South Africa couldn't make a total of 200, and Australia looks all set to make a total of 400 plus. I am also baffled at the continuation of Temba Bavuma in the test squad. He hasn't performed ever since he made his debut, and still there is one guaranteed slot allotted to him. Now Khaya Zondo has also joined him, further overburdening the remaining batsmen. If not for Kyle Verreynne and Marco Jansen, South Africa would have struggled to get to three digit total.

Yes this match is looking one sided. Australia is in its good form and performing really well. But on the other hand if we talk about South Africa so they are looking half to the Australia. They should struggle more to compete Australia.
Africa's players are not performing well they should concentrate on their bowling or batting.
The match between these two teams seems to show that Australia is a very strong team. Australia batsman David Warner scored 106 runs in 147 balls in this match. Looks like he will score 150. If he can play the whole match then he can easily score 150.  In this match, South Africa had a poor batting performance due to which South Africa could not score much runs.
Australia have already secured a 1-0 lead in one of the three Test matches between Australia and South Africa. And in this match, Australia is already leading by 12 runs in the first innings and they have more 8 wickets in hands and David Warner still on strike . I think the runs that Australia will score in the first innings will not be able to be beaten by the South African batsmen in front of the Australian bowlers. I think Australia is going to win this one too.

106 and Warner is still going strong. Very sensible batting by both batters till now. Smith is just few runs close to his half century and the way these two are playing it looks like 300+ runs will be easy for Australia. South African pace attack has been unsuccessful till now. Spinners are also not that effective at the moment. The situation might change after lunch.
