I was shocked to see Pakistan batting. When Australia batted, I thought it was a batting pitch. But looking at Pakistan's batting disaster, it seems that bowling is a helpful pitch. However, I still think that Pakshithan will try his best to draw the match. If Australia bat for two sessions tomorrow, I think the match will be a draw.

May be the pitch slowed down or uneven bounce when Pakistan was batting, it is true that batting looked hard when Pakistan was batting, may be Australia was bowling really well. Usman Khawaja batted really well and Alex Carey and Steven Smith scored a half century even in the Australian innings and if anyone could build a partnership Pakistan would have been in a better position.

Pat Cummins have an alternate plan.
Now individuals who were cursing on pitch and saying another draw then just confused looking at the batting collapse of Pakistani batters. I'm happy to see some excitement in this test series. Pakistan got all-out just in 148 runs, gives a flavor so there's something worth watching.
Innings defeat is waiting for Pakistan. Not just the pitches, it's the mentality and approach of Pakistani team is totally disgusting. Is it conceivable by this way pitch receives good impression?

It can be either way around, may be pitch is good for bowlers but Australia batsmen really played well. Nauman Ali has got fair amount of turn in the firt innings and from that I guess that pitch has something for bowlers which Australians bowlers took full advantage. Pakistan survived innings defeat but still they will face huge defeat

This made India win the first match and loss the second and third test matches against South Africa. Australia have planned for a India tour on September/October. India will be in a situation to prove that they're the strongest test team.

India should try to regain there form first since they are not in very good form as evident from there performance in T20 WC and then SA tour. They have perfomed good againest WI and SL at home but that doesnt mean they are now in s position to beat teams like Aus.
Australia are in a mood to destroy Pakistan at there home as they are 489 runs ahead in there 2nd innings. Aus are capable of performing good at every ground not just there home.

It's time for BCCI to find a replacement for Kohli. Kohli has not been in form for a long time. The BCCI still kept him with the squad. He has been given plenty of time to return to the form. But he failed. India has a lot of talented young players. Now BCCI should give a chance to these young players in Kohli's place and give Kohli some rest.

Theoretically this might be right, he hasn't had the best performance in last two years, but you will say this only if you compare it with Kohli what he was in earlier years, if you take reference of an average batsmen his stats aren't that bad, he hasn't scored a hundred but has a decent batting average, but yes india wants some impactful innings from him and not just average batting, i feel it's just the captaincy that is actually keeping him going otherwise he would also be a fly in the eye of selectors as there is such a big competition for a spot in test cricket team.

I think that maybe he should be given another chance. If this was anyone else then I would have also said that he should be dropped but this is Virat Kohli we are talking about. I think one more chance couldn't do too much harm. But obviously, I can be wrong, But I genuinely believe that dropping him from the team will not be the greatest Idea now.

What is happening?

Rohit Sharma has changed the Indian team completely. Another test series and again it is a whitewash. You can say that the Indian side has been playing within India and that can be the reason for the stellar performance but psychologically this team now has a positive attitude and high satisfaction level. Next will be to see them perform outside the subcontinent and more in other parts of this world where cricket is played.

Even with Virat kohli captaincy India would have won this series very easily. Virat has been the best test match captain for India so this series win was always expected.
The real test of rohit and these young players would be outside the subcontinent.
But yes a win is a win and the credit for that must be given the captain, coach and the whole team.

India need to show similar performance outside the subcontinent. In the previous tournament outside home India started with a good performance, but the same didn't continue throughout the series. This made India win the first match and loss the second and third test matches against South Africa. Australia have planned for a India tour on September/October. India will be in a situation to prove that they're the strongest test team.

India at the moment should be really confident. They just whitewashed Sri Lanka and the confidence of the Indian team should be Sky high. The morale of the players seems to be good at the moment.

I think they should make a tour outside the subcontinent. By doing so they will be able to identify the problems in the team and also will be able to detect which players are better for the subcontinent and which players are performing better outside the subcontinent. And I also like the competition that is going on to get a place in the Indian squad. This means that the pipeline of the team is really strong.

India recently toured SA and lost miserably in Tests and ODI series, lost test 2-1 and were whitewashed in ODI series. Don't forget Srilanka is weak team and beating them at home ground doesn't made India a strong team. We have to wait and see how Rohit performs against teams like NZ, Australia and Pakistan.

Most of you people know that I am from Pakistan and support my country's decision on most of the things related to cricket but I also fail to understand this decision of the PCB to make the result-less wickets. If we make good wickets and loss to Australians, that is acceptable because they are a good team but making dead pitches on the most awaited tour after 14 years is no good thing.

So now you must have fair idea of its not the pitch rather teams that matter most. Pakistan is definitely at the verge of losing there first test against mighty Aussies. Aussies should have taken the follow on option and finish the game by 4th day. Still I am hopeful Pakistan can't win this game nor draw the game.

But whatsoever - Pakistani are too enthusiastic for cricket - and they would not like to see excuses. What is coming next in Pak and Aus test series?

I see the first follow-on coming into play in the test series between Pakistan and Australia

Australia had the perfect opportunity to take the follow on and invited Pakistan to bat again. Their moral was low and they could have easily taken 2 -3 more wickets today making the winning seal for the Aussies.

However, i do not understand what make Pat Cummins not to take the follow on and go for another round of batting Huh

That's correct. There spirit and enthusiasm was missing though! Sajid khan looked lost. People are much interested in ODI then Test match. It's more time consuming and sometime is too boring to watch. May the best team win. Tomorrow is the fourth day. Looking fwd for some amazing cricket.

Nothing has changed imo. Only surprising factor was Bumrah outbowled our spinners on rank turner lol

The reason i'm saying this because Indians are dominating at home and didn't lost a home series in a very long time. England was the last team to win test series in India (2012)

Reposting this stat. This record is impressive but Australia is next team to tour India so let's see.

Yes Indian cricket team used to perform well within the country, but very few players have better records out of home. One such player for India in recent years is Virat Kohli. As said, the upcoming test series against Australia is the real testing for India to show their ability. Indian grounds were much dominated by the spinners and this time this time Bumrah have taken credit with his short run fast pace bowling.

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

Lol everything is still the same, the expectations, the security, the enjoyment, the love of the locals to the guest team, except the pitch.

Making a dead pitch doesn't show that they are confident of who they are, it shows that they are under confidence of their skills.

And please do not ask whom idea it was to prepare such a pitch as no one knows exactly. If I used my sources then it could turn out to be some bcci idea

(kidding)

Yeah, it was the BCCI who made the pitch in Pakistan, boycott BCCI… Cheesy

just kidding Tongue

Anyway, I think everyone thought Pakistan was a lot more confident in their skills and the matches are going to be competitive but I think we put too much faith in Pakistan. They just opted for the safest option. the actual thing is, they just didn't want to get beat by Australia on their home ground after such a long time.

LOL - what goes wrong in Pk is because of IND and what goes wrong in IND everytime it PK

. But @umaridrees did not use his source in the right direction, have he had done the right research he would have brought us the breaking news whose hands are behind in making the dead pitch. But whatsoever - the love for cricket in Pakistan is really commendable.

Pakistani batters are gifting their wickets and making this match very interesting, just to make sure that there is no space left for debate on pitch conditions or face another backlash from the ICC as far as d-merit points are concerns.

After scoring a massive first-innings total, Pak loses an early wicket. Although four wickets have fallen, the fact will remain the same due to the pitch condition.

It would be nice if Pakistan curators could make the pitch for some turning in this match, since the only outcome is a waste of watching. Pakistani crowds aren't interested in watching this series. Boring test matches are hurting Test cricket. Australia seems to be playing against a minor team.

It's not a loss of 4 wickets anymore, it's 97-7 at the moment. A batting paradise dead pitch has suddenly turned into a alive green seaming track

Babar Azam is running out of batsmen. Now we know why we need dead wickets: No, you guess it wrong, avoiding another demerit point is our first priority.
