Pakistan Vs Australia 1st Test Match
The first test match between Pakistan and Australia has started for tomorrow. Australia is favourite to win this match but as i Pakistani i love to winning Pakistan to this series. Pakistan recently beat Srilanka by 2 match series by 2-0, and top of world test championship points tables with 24 points. Pakistan made some new players in this squad and chances to get test debut new player like Amir Jamal and khurma Shahzad. I think the pace attack of Pakistan is poor only i experience bowler Shaheen shah Afridi is palying, but Personally i like mir hamza and Hassan in playing Xi against Australia.
I am so excited with this series. Pakistan tour to Australia. This series have 3 test matches and today the first test match will be played. Within 40 minutes match will be started. So the Shan Masood will handle the responsibilities of a Captain.
I know that the Pakistan won the series which they played recently with Srilankan team. But here is Australia. So we can't say any thing that what will happen. I think both teams are strong and ready to beat each other. And I think this is little bit difficult to say that who will win the series. So let's see. Smiley
Australia has won the toss and decided to bat. In this case, how much Australia has made a rational decision can be understood by looking at the batting. Usually a good score can be made if you bat on the first day on a new pitch. Batting in the second innings is difficult and the chances of losing wickets are high. From this point of view, Australia won the toss and decided to bat. However, if Pakistan's fast bowlers can get Australia's top-order batsmen out very quickly by bowling in the first session, then Australia may be able to keep the score below 300 runs. Ameer Jamal and Khurram Shahzad have made their debut in Pakistan's squad and if they perform well then something positive can come for Pakistan.

Australia is batting very well against Pakistani bowlers. They scored 101 runs in just 20 overs without losing any wicket. Warner remains unbeaten with 64 runs off just 57 balls. Warner's batting, I don't think this is a Test match. Warner is batting at 110 strike rate. No Pakistani bowler can take advantage of this pitch. If this continues we will see 500+ runs in the first innings itself. Australia is a very experienced team in Test format. Faheem Ashraf bowled just 4 overs and conceded 29 runs. He gave more than 7 runs per over. The pitch is batting friendly, so I think this match is more likely to be a draw.
Australia batted brilliantly against Pakistan on the first day, scoring 126 runs at the start of the Test match with the loss of just 1 wicket. David Warner is in great form and he is unbeaten on 76 off 86 balls, he will surely bat brilliantly to score a century. The way Australia managed to score a great score against Pakistan, however, no one would say that they are playing a Test match, but the Australian team is playing like a T20. If the way the Australian team is batting against Pakistan continues, it is definitely possible to collect 500 plus runs on the first day. The bowling performance of Pakistan bowlers is not very good due to which they are not able to take any wickets but if Pakistan can improve their bowling performance then definitely it will be possible to stop Australia.

LOL.. all of a sudden David Warner has gone for the defense mode. And the debutant Khurram Shahzad is actually bowling really well, getting some late movement. He is looking much better when compared to the experienced Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Edit: Finally Shaheen Shah Afridi gets a wicket, as he nabs Usman Khawaja. Australia are at 126/1 and now Marnus Labuschagne has come out to join Warner at the crease. From what I am seeing, both Shahzad and Shaheen are getting a lot of late movement from this pitch. And it will be interesting once the Australians come out to bowl.

The Australian team had such a good batting performance that no wicket fell on the first day in the first match. Meanwhile, Pakistan bowled till 27 overs but failed to fall any wicket. Australia team collected 121 runs without a wicket. But I have seen the test match of Bangladesh team, their performance was so bad that on the first day, the entire wicket fell and the match ended with an all-out. But after seeing the performance of Australia and Pakistan team, I think it is a test match. But if the Australian team can survive by protecting the wicket like this, then the Pakistan team will fail to meet the target of the Australian team.

For the Pakistani team, this is going to feel like a long 3 match series, similar to their last tour.

Last time as well they came with an inexperienced bowling attack and some big brains in management thought that it would be a good idea to repeat the same masterstroke. Warner the home track bully will cement his place for another season.

We are not seeing good performances from Pakistani bowlers. I thought I would see better bowling from Shaheen Shah Afridi in this match. But Afridi is also not able to bowl well on this pitch. Australia collected 117 runs in just 25 overs before the lunch break. The Australian team has not lost a single wicket yet. It is easy to understand that the pitch is batting-friendly. Pakistani bowlers will not be able to do much on such a pitch. They still need to bowl with some control. Otherwise, we will see only Australian dominance in the match and the match will also be one-sided.

LOL.. Pakistani selectors at their best. But then, the experienced Shaheen Shah Afridi was also bowling like shit today. Fortunately for them, Usman Khawaja was at the other end, and he was batting extremely slowly. If someone like Travis Head was with David Warner, then Australia would have raced to 200/0 by now. Maybe it is time for Pakistan to try some of their spin bowlers.. oh wait.. Pakistan hasn't selected any spinners for this match except part-timer Agha Salman. Another whitewash looks likely for me.

England women Vs India women  Only Test Match  
After winning the toss and deciding to bat in the only test, the Indian women's team went into bat. The absence of Mithali Raj and Jhulan Goswami will surely be a big blow for the Indian women, as they have contributed significantly to the team over the years. They will lack experience and leadership in today's Test match against England Women. Facing a strong and experienced team like England will be a tough task. However, it is also an opportunity for young players to prove themselves on the big stage. While it may be difficult for India women to come out on top in Test matches, cricket is an unpredictable game and anything can happen. Whatever the result, it will be a valuable learning experience for the Indian women's team and they will have an opportunity to gain exposure to the longer format of the game. Hopefully, they can put up a strong fight.

^^ He might be a rookie but he's bowling hard length which is interesting because it's his first tour or maybe both openers taking their sweet time because they didn't face him before.

Having said that, so far he's bowling a lot better than Shaheen. After the injury Shaheen looked like a completely different bowler, his speed went down and his swing is nowhere to be seen.

Quite surprised to see Khurram Shahzad opening the bowling for Pakistan. Apart from Shaheen Shah Afridi, they have selected a very inexperienced bowling squad for this test. Shahzad is playing in his first ever test match (also the first match for Pakistan national team). Recently he performed really well in Pakistan domestic cricket, while playing for Faisalabad. Aamer Jamal is also playing his first test match, and he represents Lahore Whites in domestic cricket. BTW, pitch at Perth Stadium seems to be batsmen friendly and Australia may end up with 400-500 on board by day 2.

I woke up early to watch the live match and saw a good amount of viewership from India on the Hotstar app. Currently, 57k viewers are watching the live telecast and I was impressed by the number of people in the stadium. I was expecting a vacant stadium but it looks like Australians still love watching test matches. I know a large portion of that crowd would be Pakistani migrants. Still, it looks good, and this is how people from the subcontinent cheer their teams. Very early stage of the match so cannot comment about it now.

Well, it's been 2-3 decades so let's not go there.  Grin

But overall, no one takes this bilateral very seriously. It's all fun and giggles for the majority of fans, especially the Australian fans. Anyway, atm Kiwis are in some transition phase and they will lose at least some senior players soon. These 2 boards also take ages to schedule this series so we can forget about Kiwis winning any series against Australia anytime soon.

Well.. talking about the possibility of New Zealand winning a series against Australia... it never happened when New Zealand was in peak form (2018-2021). Now it is much more unlikely given the fact that they are in poor shape. One thing that continues to boost New Zealand is the fresh influx of players from South Africa and India. In recent times, South African born players such as Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Dean Foxcroft and Chad Bowes have featured in the New Zealand playing XI and so has players such as Ajaz Patel, Ish Sodhi and Rachin Ravindra. They also have Mark Chapman (born in Hong Kong and is part-Chinese) as well as Colin de Grandhomme (Zimbabwe). So obviously New Zealand is being kept alive by fresh infusion from other nations.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the upcoming Pakistan vs. Australia test match! It's great to see the enthusiasm for the team and the analysis of the squad. While Australia may be the favorite, your loyalty to Pakistan is admirable. It's impressive that Pakistan recently beat Sri Lanka and is leading the World Test Championship points table. Regarding the pace attack, it's true that experience matters, and Shaheen Shah Afridi is a key player. It'll be interesting to see if Mir Hamza and Hassan make it to the playing XI against Australia. Let's hope for a thrilling match and a successful series for Pakistan. Best of luck to the team!
The first Test series of Pakistan vs Australia is going to be held on 14th. I will put Pakistan ahead in Australia vs Pakistan test series. Pakistan team is in great form after winning the Test series 2-0 against Sri Lanka. It is expected that Pakistan will do well in the Test series against Australia. After changing several players of Pakistan, they announced the team for the test series. Undoubtedly, Pakistan's bowling line is very strong. If they can bowl well and score good runs, then they can win the test series against Australia. After becoming the 2023 world champion, the Australian team's confidence has increased. The Pakistan vs Australia Test series will be very competitive. Let's see how well Pakistan can do against Australia in the end.
Pakistan and Australia both announced their player eleven for tomorrow match. Pakistan made 2 changes anir jamel and Khuran Shahzad in included in thier playing Xi. Babar azam and Salman ali agha os also played Shan masood is captain of Pakistan test team. Australia is going with 3 pacer and 1 spinner Nathan Liyon quality bowlers of Australia and best bastmen. In Australian picth they are more successful and have ability to win against Pakistan. Let see what happened 1st session us very crucial for both team.
Now we have few hours left in this first test match of the series with Pakistan is going with few new players and Australia is playing with their full strength which mean things could be not easy for the Pakistan they never won any game against Australia since 1996 with 14 test all loses is surely matter of shameful, but sadly they have never been done homework for this series which is important just because of this mostly they are having problems and these lose.
Now after embarrassing into world cup things are going more down new captain and many new players are going to face one of the best side in cricketing world and result is already understandable, but we need to be positive hopefully they will give some good cricket to watch.

Finally, there's a demerit point for the Mirpur Test. The pitch used in the second Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand has received a rating from the ICC. This decision from the ICC has been eagerly awaited. The Dhaka Test pitch has been given an unsatisfactory rating along with 1 demerit point.
ICC should advise the Bangladesh Cricket Board to improve pitch conditions before hosting any international matches. It's crucial for the BCB to ensure that such issues don't happen repeatedly.
In the Dhaka Test, the pitch condition at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Stadium must be changed, especially if the 5-day Test game ends after two days, then the Test match cannot be desirable in any way. Especially in the second test match between Bangladesh and New Zealand, the two teams collected a total of 672(BAN 172,144  NZ 180, 179/6) runs in four innings. If this is the condition of a Test pitch then there must be demerits. I think the Mirpur Sherbangla Stadium pitch in Bangladesh should be changed very soon.

Well.. I guess I followed the 2019-20 series, but don't remember that much. Anyway, results were disappointing for the Kiwis and no doubt about it. I checked the records, and the last time New Zealand won the Trans-Tasman series was in 1989-90. And this is when they had players such as Richard Hadlee and John Wright in the squad. After that they had draws on three occasions, but never managed to win the series. But I have very fond memories of some of these matches from the 2001–02 and 2004–05 seasons. That was when Warne and McGrath used to take on Stephen Fleming/Nathan Astle.

New Zealand had a strong team around 2019-20 (first WTC cycle) and they toured Australia for 3 test matches, this was a result.

1st test - Australia won by 296 runs
2nd test -Australia won by 247 runs
3rd test - Australia won by 279 runs

Only 3 countries bring money to the table as far as Test cricket is concerned.

India (Pick any Test series): In the Last BGT trophy in Australia during COVID-19 CA earned close to $200 million and they were about to declare bankruptcy, there were reports that CA was lacking funds to even pay salaries. To give you overall context, the last T-20 WC in Australia fetched CA $70 Million. I'll give you another example in the same context, atm India is on SA tour for one month and CSA will earn in between $55-$65 Million from this.

And then we have England and Australia but apart from the Ashes and matches against India, they hardly earn anything from any test series. For other cricket boards it's just loss making affair unless BIG-3 travelling them.

New Zealand was a better team towards the 2019/20 year. At least they were doing better compared to what they are doing right now. I personally think that they are trying to improve in the shorter formats of cricket. And trying to concentrate on those, they are actually kind of ignoring their performance in the test format. Probably that is actually okay as long as they are able to perform well in the shorter formats. And if we compare this New Zealand team with the New Zealand team from the '90s or even the early 2000s, I am definitely going to say that this team is nowhere near that.
