Most probably we may see this test match ending in a draw. I know this statement looks pre-mature as we have seen only the first day of this first test match. I think that if the pakistan team played so well and managed to lose only one wicket on the first day against the best australian bowling attack, this shows the pitch is very good for batting and its hard to take 40 wickets in 5 days and therefore i would bet on a draw.

In fact, even win probability score states there is a 47% chance of a draw in this test match. Babar Azam remarked that the pitch would be good for scoring runs, after PAK chose to bat first. Pakistan's openers are batting well so far. In this batting-friendly pitch, the Australian bowling attack appears quite faded, with Nathan Lyon the only bowler to take a wicket.

If Pakistan managed to draw this test match, then I am sure it will be a good for Pakistan. Australians are considered as a better test team (of course they are big 3  Cheesy). A draw for a big 3 is an insult for themselves. The so called "world best bowling attack" is only able to take only 2 wickets in 1.5 days. That's a shame for Australians and those who are afraid to play with Pakistan (India, NZ, England).
I think its too early to say that and to predict anything. Pakistan is a good team and so is Australia. I think they are scared playing in Pakistan like the NZ who ran away before the start of the series. I have heard something had happened in Peshawar too. Are all the links going to the tour of Aussie team? Pakistani people love cricket but then all their joys are settled in a jiffy when something bad happens in the country. I wish to see an amazing cricket and great sportsman spirit among both the teams.

India is in very comfortable position but main news is... Kohli is still searching for his 71st.
Amazing performance from Indian side after having first batting today they completely outclass Sri Lankan bowling with very big total on board 357/6 in just 85 overs, feeling sad for Pant as he deserves this triple figure in this match after having very good batting throughout the day but sadly again can't handle pressure of this nerve's nineteen's.

Today Kohli was playing his 100th test, and I was also very excited about his batting because now it is very long time he is in not good touch and deserve something big on this great occasion, but sadly he also dismisses for just 46 hopefully tomorrow we will watch 450+ from Indian side with this score most chances this match is going to end very quickly because Sri Lankan batting side is not strong enough to handle Indians here in this match, and they can lose this match very quickly as on first day their moral is down with very good batting from quality players.
Unbelievable batting by Jadeja in this test match. He needs only 8 runs to reach his 150 runs. This may be the first time he has scored more than 140 runs. After playing more than 20 plus test match India has finally scored more than 500 runs all because of him.

The historic test between Pakistan and Australia started today and Pakistan scored around 245 runs with only one wicket down. The home team is in a strong position in this test match.
My question to the NZ, "Hun aram ay ?"  Meaning, if your daddy Australians can come to pakistan to play here, what was the problem with you.

I think Pakistan has The upper hand in this test match right now because they have scored a good amount of runs at the loss of only one wicket. And if they can survive the first session tomorrow they will be able to score a lot more runs. They have to score really big because they don't have the strength in bowling because of injuries. If Pakistan can score something around 550 its will be enough in my opinion.
As of now Pakistan is in good position to win the match. However once after the first innings of Australia we can get into conclusion on the match results. Pakistan is quite strong with the top order and even by tomorrow morning session the wickets won't fall big. If I'm not wrong Pakistan will declare the innings by the end of day 2. Good decision to bat first after winning the toss.

Surprised with the meek performance from the Australian bowlers. After such an excellent series against England, all of a sudden they looked toothless. And I don't understand why the best performing bowler from that series (Scott Boland) is not in the playing XI. Mitchell Starc has proved again and again that he is inconsistent. Including him in the place of Boland was a controversial decision. I would still support the inclusion of Josh Hazlewood, because his type of bowling is more suited for the subcontinent.

Today first day of this historic test match between Pakistan and Australia after winning toss having first batting was surprising decision for me because here just 2 teams won after having first inning and 3 draw and 6 lost, so I was also expecting that they will give first batting to visitors, but Babar have other things in mind, and they start batting which was good at the end of first day.

But this is going to be drawn because nothing for bowlers in this pitch and batting is very easy with Australia having services of some of the best batsmen, so they also can do some big runs which is going to be good for them as next two matches are going to be very important most chances this series is going to end with result of 1 - 0 or 1 - 1 because home teams facing some problems with injured bowlers, so they will not take any chance.

In Search of Incredible
I am watching the home Test match for Pakistan for the first time and they had a great start against Australia with a century partnership and they will be posting a huge total from here as Babar Azam is yet to come out and they have some good players to come out.
Pakistani batsman has done incredible job in the first day, but they are scoring very slowly. However, they are completely dominating in the game. Still I'm expecting a good comeback from Australian bowlers tomorrow.

Indian batsman had good starts but they failed to convert that into a big innings.
Indian batsman has scored very quickly and they have lost their valuable 6 wickets as well. I think they will score above 450 runs in the first innings. It will be enough to stay in the game. Perhaps, Sri Lanka won't be able to play in the same way. India has pretty good bowling lineup.


We may see black badges on Australian players hand tomorrow. Because, one of their legendary players, Shane Warne has died today. He was a great bowler, especially in test format. Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne passes away aged 52

At the end of day one, Pakistan has scored 245 runs for only the loss of one wicket. I think this is a really good score for Pakistan and they will be able to pile up a really big score at the end of their first innings. Not much success for the Australian bowlers. Only Nathan Lyon got the wicket. Pakistan played really responsibly knowing that they don't have their usual bowlers available.

Pakistan are not in hurry to score runs, 245 runs in 90 overs with 2.70 RR clearly indicates that they are careful with bat. Pakistan will eye on 400 total of first innings. Pitch is very much grass less and here is funny thing,  Australian broadcasters put road signs, footpath in hilarious dig at grassless Rawalpindi pitch ahead of 1st Test

*STOP NOWHERE*
Finally after 24 years, Test match between Pakistan and Australia is finally in progress at Rawalpindi. Pakistan decided to bat first and so far its a smooth sailing for them, 105 for the loss of one wicket at the end of first session. Pakistan feeling good after having an opening stand of 105 runs before Abduaalh shafique getting out for 44 runs. Pakistan need to score 350+ runs as there main bowlers are not available.

So far Pakistan have lost only Abdullah Shafique. Second wicket partnership bw Imam and Azhar also crossed 100 run. Imam is palying on 114 and Azhar has just completed his fifty. Pakistan is treating Australia like the way Australia treats visitor's to there country. 15 overs left in today's play, Pakistan will try to cross 250 without losing anymore wickets.

And Pant missed out another well deserve ton. Poor guy is making habit of missing out 100 every now and then.

India vs Srilanka

The first test between India and Srilanka has started. This is the 100th test match for Kohli. India has already score 122 runs for the lost of 2 wicket. Kohli is batting on 19 and it is expected for him to perform in this test.

India has played 44 test matches against Srilanka wherein India has won 20 and Srilanka has won 7.  Out of the 44 matches 17 have ended in draw. The chance of India winning this test is very high.

They are left with 7 test match ( 3 series). If they want to qualify for the finals without depending on any other team's result then they need minimum 6 wins.

Home - 2 tests against Sri Lanka
Away -  2 against Pakistan and 3 against England

Let's say they successfully beat SL easily at home but they still need to win 4 games against Pak and Eng, which i think would be very tough and really need a miracle because Pakis are no dummy imo. Already said about England, they are dead in WTC and hit the rock bottom. Their trajectory can only go up from here so i believe they will perform okay from now on, at least at home.

Only the series against Pakistan is problematic for them. Else they are in exceptional form and have a good record in England recently. Now coming to Pakistan, although they are very good at home, their team balance is not great at this moment. If all of their regular players are 100% fit, then I still believe that it will be possible for New Zealand to achieve this target. But anymore unexpected loss (such as the one happened against South Africa recently) can put them in a very bad position.
