The Islamabad-born Usman Khawaja was so close and yet so far away from the century milestone. I'm sorry Usman Khawaja, you were just three runs away from getting a century and you were out. Rawalpindi, where he grew up, would have been perfect for a hundred. It is not a good feeling for him, but this is the truth. Anyway, runs are coming in as we predicted before. There is a 96% chance the test match PakVSAus will end in a draw.

Well, it is the fourth day of the test match ended and no Surprise in my opinion because I think we all knew that this match was going to end in a draw. But the only thing which might be surprising is that Pakistan was actually able to pick up 7 wickets and Nauman Ali pick up 4 wickets and I am looking forward to seeing him that his fifth.

Majority of wicket fell to negative bowling. At times i felt like Pakistan wanted to slow the game and run rate by bowling only leg side length, specially spinners. Can't blame the bowlers much because pitch was dead and Aussie batters were scoring runs with healthy RR but this tactics frustrate everyone, Aussie looked pissed too.

4th day and we're still in the 2nd inning, not good at all.

Day 4. Stamps in Rawalpindi. 449/7, Aus trail by 27 runs.

Pakistan got five wickets in the day but with good RR Australia managed to put a decent total, they need another 27 runs left away. 11 wickets falling over 4 days is not a good advertisement of modern day test cricket. Hopefully, the upcoming matches in Karachi and Lahore pitches will be more result oriented. To be honest, It's really discouraging to see such level wickets for test cricket. Let' see whether Australia can bowled out Pakistan tomorrow which will bring the fight for sure.

Absolute road... so for batters its like stat padding and have some match practice. Usually Pindi's pitch are green top, not sure why curators opted for dead pitch. May be they were gunning for complete 5 day quota for historic test match.

We need 1 epic collapse in this match, looks tough but that's a only hope left.

We are in 3rd session of day 4 and Australia are 68 runs behind Pakistan total of 476 runs. Two Australian players are victim of nervous 90 i.e. khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne. Definitely we have a draw for this match as Australians will declare there innings sometimes tomorrow.

Why should Australia declare the innings tomorrow? Since the result is not possible, they can keep on batting the whole last day and get some batting practice to the lower order as well.
It will be interesting to see who will be the man of this test match and from which country.

There is nothing interesting in the test match between Australia and Pakistan. If you want to see some quality batting performance by the top quality players from both teams, then you may enjoy this test match. Most people like me want to see results in the test match and unfortunately, we may see no result after the end of 5 days. Both teams had a good batting practice which may help them in coming tests.

476 enough to win the match in the first inning? Sure, if Pakistan can bowl them out early. In order for Pakistan to win this match, they need to take 20 wickets from Australia. The match might be drawn. It is an unbelievable slow pitch, so the question is whether Pakistan can bowl out Australia when Pakistan scored 476 and Australia has a much stronger team. The Aussies blame the pitch. It is true that pitches are slow, but in the subcontinent they needs to adopt a new bowling method.

I am not complaining the curators about creating these pitches for the match as they are preparing these wickets after a long time. Hopefully we will see changes in the future, this match is not going anywhere and the match will end up in a draw with both teams having a good day playing a longer innings. Bowlers struggled in this pitch and not even the spinners are not having any assistance in the pitch, i expected the spinners to have an advantage from the third day and that is not even possible in this pitch.

The game between Australia and Pakistan was an Interesting one.Some people will think, it will be easy win for Australia. But the pakistan game was changed now. They had a good space and Spin bowlers. The spin bowler of the pakistan will smash all the main wicket of top player of Australia. If the pakistan team take all 10 wickets of Australia with 250 runs, they can easily take remaining 10 wicket in 600 maximum. So Pakistan had easy target on 200 runs.

Here I agree with your all statement still it is very long way for Pakistan to compete in International level because it needs some good and strong mind set which is not available here we have very good and top class series after space of 24 years and their strategy is not good they are preparing very slow wickets which are not helpful for anyone even now fans are not enjoying this game

They have some good criticize from their own many old cricketers for this right now game tempo is completely changed and peoples need some good entertainment but with this pitch it is not happening bowlers struggling very badly and batsmen have very safe heaven which make this match very bore lets watch how they prepare for next matches.

India won by an innings and 222 run in 1st test match against Srilanka. Indian batting and bowler performance was really outstanding. Srilanka batter didn’t handle indian bowler.Few years ago Srilanka test cricket team was very strong but now although new cricketer. I hope Srilanka will recover their test form in next test match.

The only way pakistan can win this match is by taking early wickets in the first session today and putting pressure on Australians. However, this does not seem to be happening at the moment as Australians have survived the early spell from shaheen Afridi and are 56 for no wicket loss.

I can see this test match moving towards a draw unless we see some magical bowling spell from any of the pakistani bowlers today.

After watching first day play there was all intention that Pakistani authorities done terrible job and create very flat pitch which is going to be not helping anyone and this match is going straight forward just draw, so it's happening in first three days we have only 6 wickets with nearly 740+ runs on board.

I check social media many Pakistani players criticizing for this pitch because this was most wanted series in long time and their this thinking is going to hurt this all very badly specially when you are expecting some good audience then you need to prepare some better things and very supportive pitch but here it's completely opposing with weather is also having his own impact hopefully after this now we will have some better supportive wickets from home team and fans will surely enjoy this good and quality cricket after very long time.

India won the test match by 222 runs and an innings. Sri Lanka really looked lost at the match and had absolutely no idea how to handle the Indian bowlers. This must have been really embarrassing for Sri Lanka. I obviously expected a lot better from them even though I knew that India would be the winners. India was absolutely dominating in the match.

India won by very big margin and this was expected because Sri Lankan team is currently having no good batsman and bowler for facing this Indian team at home, so most chance was this is going to end like this. Jadeja and Ashwin duo was on top with ball and bat with this pant also done good job a massive win for new captain, and now they are going to play second match after few days which is D/N and most chances we are going to have result like this because after watching this first match I am feeling there is no comparison between these two teams.

For Sri Lanka it's very long way to go if they want to do some better in test matches because after retirement of few legendary players they completely fail to bring some competitive replacement and their local leagues are also having not good and strong for bringing skilled players.

If you say that Australian bowlers performed badly because they were afraid and conscious about the security, I think it is straight-up dumb reason. That's probably the best security that could ever be given to a cricketing team. I think the actual reason is the pitch doesn't seem to be helping the bowlers at all. Right now Pakistan has declared their innings for 476 runs and Australia is still trailing by 471 runs.

Haha, I don't know who is giving this stupid excuse of security concern. Anyways, you are right pitch isn't good for bowlers at all, before the match I thought spinners could enjoy the game while pacers obviously would struggle, but even spinners haven't really got any juice out of the pitch. Now it will be interesting to see Aussie batting, if they also are able to bat this easily just like Pak did, obviously match would end as a draw, but with an older pitch if the Pakistani Spinners can do some magic, the match will be an easy win for Pakistan without even coming to bat again. Even though both the Pakistani Spinners don't have much experience so it will be interesting to see how they play this high pressure match with Aussies.

This is just going to be a boring draw between these two teams in the first test because the pitch is just heaven for the batsman and the bowlers are not able to extract anything out of the pitch. The third day has already ended and the first innings of the team batting second is still nowhere to be ending. Unless something really unexpected happens this is surely going to be a draw. And I think none of the team are stupid enough to suddenly think about winning this match and taking on the bowling

Exactly as expected, the type of pitch we were having it was expected this was going to happen, it was just Pakistani fans who were too excited about pak's innings, after Australia's performance on day 3 it's almost sure that this match is going to end in a draw Aussies will easily be able to defeat the lead made by Pakistanis and then even they come to bat they won't be able to win this match from here.

Bumrah-Shami-Jaddu-Ash and add Washi/Axar for 5th bowler. Best of luck facing this attack when playing in India.

It is a matter of time about how long Sri Lankan batsman can delay the Indian win. Sri Lanka following up and 3 wickets down and they trail by 326 runs and plenty of time still in this match.

Virtually no criticism for Lankan team (cause they were facing Jaddu-Ash combo),

Also bowling lineup cause i have seen Murli and late Warney shitting their bed when playing at India so we were expecting too much, only part timers can do wonder for visiting team.

For Ashwin's haters, he's into top 10 wicket takers list in cricket history and tailing only Jumbo as far as Indian cricket is concern.

2nd test is D/N and i suppose Axar is going to make into the playing XI. SL must be praying to Ravaan for draw or something. If SL manage to draw final test then its a big set back for Indian team, critics might come out from their holes again.

Last 42 tests in my recent memory.

Indian won 33, lost 2 (Aus and Eng) and 7 draw. There is a reason India is called final frontier.

Ash-Jaddu duo is arguably a biggest cheat code in cricket or gaming industry when playing at hometurf.

I am watching this match and after end of two days feeling very bad because I was not expecting tactics like this from PCB they have done terrible thing and prepare a slow pitch for very entertaining and most wanting series opener now most chances Australia is also going to have some good batting practice in this match because there is nothing for bowlers it's all on batsmen they have done mistake and give wicket.

Lets see how Australia is going to respond and how the pitch will behave in the final two days, i am expecting the ball to be spinning and i am not aware of the spinners in the Pakistan bowling line up. How Australia will respond and how fast they can score runs will determine the fate of this match.
In the other match between India and Sri Lanka, India is in a comfortable position and Sri Lanka needs a good partnership even to avoid the follow on.

I don't think that the Australians are going to throw their wicket away knowing this is a really batting-friendly pitch. They are just going to bad sensibly and score huge amounts of runs just like Pakistan did. This match is surely going to be a draw because at the end of the third day Australia are still batting in their first inning self they don't seem to be in a mood of getting out.

If you create a pitch that will favor the batsman then you end up seeing boring matches that will probably end up in a draw. The only way you loose wickets is if you are not careful and that is how Usman Khawaja and David Warner lost their wicket. Unless the pitch behaves differently from the 4th day there is no way you can expect a result in this pitch. A good batting practice for both the teams.

Actually the pitch condition is staying same on each day, which isn't a normal thing in test cricket. Don't know whether the field management has done it intentionally or not, but it isn't the perfect pitch condition to play a test match. The game has no excitement as the pitch condition is in favour of the batsman. Don't expect anything else without a draw of this match. The pitch would have behaved differently from the day two if the pitch has something for the bowlers.
