Two early wickets gone for Australia, Warner could not even score a run. He was out for a duck in the second innings, while he got 164 in his first innings. Both wickets taken by Shahzad, good to see him getting enough movement of the ball and bowling a perfect line & length. The pitch is becoming difficult to bat, only 5 runs have been scored so far. Another wicket at this stage and Australia would be in trouble.

Pakistan middle order collapsed on the 3rd day. 6 wickets gone for only 200+ runs, the current situation is bad for Pakistan. They would need 70 more odd runs to avoid follow on and the last known batter they have is Saud Shakeel. If he gets out then Pakistan would be in big trouble. I wasn't expecting Babar Azam to bat so poorly, he only got 21 runs today.

Pakistan came at the last minute and got all out under the pressure of the wicket. In fact, I think Pakistan team players do not have the endurance to play Test matches, because they could not stay on the field for a long time. Nathan Layon took 3 wickets alone, Pakistan managed to score only 271 runs in the last minute under the pressure of Australia bowling. In the first innings, Pakistan team is behind a lot and going into the next match, Pakistan team will surely face a lot of pressure.

The Pakistan team has been all out in the test match against the Australian cricket team. The all batsmen of Pakistan didn't play well.  Imam Ul Haq is a very slow player, he takes too many balls to make just some runs, can you imagine he made 68 runs in 199 balls, how many balls he played and he make just some runs, this is a mistake by the PCB chairman that they selected him. I think Ireland's team test batting is much better than Imam Ul Haq's. He is not an active player in making runs.

Also Abdullah Shafique didn't play well in this match against Australia. He made just 42 runs, which is good runs but as he used to play balls, he should made at least 60 or 70 runs but unfortunately, he lost his wicket, He missed his half-century by 8 runs.

Still I would say that Abdullah Shafique played much better than Imam Ul Haq because Imam used almost 200 balls so they could complete his century but he lost his wicket in 68 runs, this is not a good performance by him, now, we understand he is not a player of any format because you have also seen his performance in ODI, and he is not a player who deserves to play T20 and we have seen his performance in the test.

I agree with you. Pakistani batsmen do not have the patience to survive at the crease in Test format. This pitch was not bowling friendly. The batsmen could easily score runs. But the Pakistani batsmen cannot take advantage of the batting friendly pitch. The team managed to collect only 271 runs. A score of at least 350 runs was likely to make the match competitive. It seems impossible that Pakistan will make a comeback in the second innings after trailing by 216 runs. Because their opponent is a strong Australian team. Australia is a very experienced team. At the same time, Australia is more powerful in its own field. The bowlers also bowled well in the first innings. Because of these reasons, it seems that Australia will win the test match.

When Australia was scoring without any problem, I thought Pakistan was also going to do the same end the match will go towards a draw. But Pakistan was not able to do much, now Australia is batting. And surprisingly it seems like the track has took a 180 turn. Because Australia has already lost two wickets and they have only scored 10 runs. Suddenly it looks like it is bowling-friendly. If Pakistan can actually get them all out around 100, which is definitely a big ask not going to lie, Pakistan might have a chance. Otherwise if Australia is able to score even 200, Pakistan will be struggling.

The reason Pakistan got all out was because they didn't bat very well early on, and their rapid fall of wickets reduced the run rate. And when the Australia team batted on the first day, they batted brilliantly from the start and scored a huge score due to which Pakistan could not complete the Australia target. Coming to the third day, the Australian team came out to bat and looking at the bowling performance of the Pakistan team today, it seems that they can easily put Australia under pressure today. Meanwhile, the Australian team lost two wickets, while on the first day, the Australian team scored huge runs due to David Warner's outstanding batting performance. But today, since David Warner is out in the beginning, today's message may not be able to collect many runs. However, the Pakistan team went out to bat on their second day and lost them all by many runs. Australia still lead by 246 runs, if Australia team bats in the first innings and collects another 200 runs then surely can make a huge score of 450+ on the second day.

There were only two batters from the Australian team that batted well in the first innings. Warner and Marsh, all others were struggling ang got out cheaply. In Pakistan case except Imam-ul-Haq and Shafique all others were out cheaply. Imam-ul-Haq  wasted too many balls to get his 62, he should have been aggressive after facing so many balks. Basically, Australia got a very good start whereas Pakistan did not and hence pressure rolled down on other batters.

Although David Warner played a great innings of 164 in the first innings, Warner could not collect any runs in the second innings. At the same time Labuschagne returned to the dressing room with only 2 runs. Australia lost their two wickets for 5 runs. At the end of 20 overs, Australia collected 44 runs with the loss of two wickets. Kurram Shahzad took both the wickets.

Now the Australian team is leading by 260 runs. If more than 400 targets are provided, Australia can stay in the safe zone. But if Australia fails to score even 200 runs in the second innings then Pakistan will have a slim chance of victory.

[Out of mind]

Pakistan were bowled out for 271 on the second day to try to make up Australia's wall lead. And the Australian team went into bat on the third day with a lead of 216 runs in the first innings, and they are in great form. This ICC World Cup winning Australia team has been playing brilliantly in their Test matches and with the way they are performing against Pakistan, we can say for sure that they will win this first Test match. If Pakistan team cannot stop Australia from a huge score in today's match, then Pakistan must lose against Australia on the second day as well. Till the last minute we think Australia can give a good lead to Pakistan and this lead Pakistan team may not be able to fill. At this moment, Australia has given a trial of 265 runs with the loss of two wickets.

This all is usual business for the Pakistani team as they have never been groomed for playing in Australia against quality bowling just because of this Pakistan never won against them for long time even after hammering by David Warner they have done good comeback, but their batting again bring them down, and now they are going to face another huge defeat in this test match.

Currently, we have Khawaja and Smith on crease from 5 for 2 to 70 for 2 is good recovery from these both batsmen now we have just 12 overs remaining in this day's play Australia could be 300+ after three days and then tomorrow they will add 100 to 125 runs and this could be enough for them to win this test match and having lead in this series with next test match is going to play on Boxing Day at Melbourne.

This is your fault you thought about Pakistan they will also do runs easily because if you are watching Pakistan for years then you need to understand they have never been done this all easily even they are playing against minor teams because their nature is never been easy to predict they can create any mess-up in any event without any big trouble, so I was expecting this from them with now most chances they will face defeat with big target as in last inning again they will not able to bat like Australian doing.
Sadly Pakistan has never been ideal team in this format just because of their domestic system which is never been good which helps youths to have technique and good command in batting they mostly have players in test with the performance on twenty or ODI which is also big failure and their pitches are also never been good for quality cricket.

Once again  Pakistan's batting failed and no player make remarkable runs after a successful Australia inining of 487 runs. Pakistan team should needs at least 400 runs then they would be able to compete.  IIn the beginning, the openers were very good. Imam-ul-Haq batted very well Although his world performance was poor.  Imam-ul-Haq is an experienced batsman, he played his role by scoring 62 runs but later the wickets fell very quickly.  And no one scored more than 40 runs. Australia is looking so strong now.

[MusaPk]

I would say it is not possible to win the match after trailing by 216 runs. And Pakistan's defeat is more likely at the moment. Unless a miracle happens, Pakistan will lose this match. The three batsmen in the top order batted somewhat well. We have not seen good performances from talented batsmen like Khurram Shahjad, Babar Azam and Sarfaraz. If these three batsmen could have batted well, maybe Pakistan could have collected 350+ runs easily.

Nathan Lyon bowled very well. He took three wickets in 23 overs. Staarc and Pat Cummins also managed to pick up two wickets each. It is highly likely that the Australian team will set a target of more than 450. After batting well in the first innings, the Australian batsmen will be more confident in the second innings.

Its very much clear on Day 3 stumps, Australia have got a lead of 300 runs and they have lost just 2 wickets. We still have 2 days left and there is no chance to draw this game. Pakistan got some early advantage in second innings, got two early wickets but then Smith and Khawaja had an unbeaten partnership of 79 runs. Australia will likely declare there second innings by tea tomorrow and then allow Pakistan to chase.

Australia batted brilliantly in the first innings of Pakistan vs Australia. Australia gave Pakistan a lead of 487 runs in the first innings. The Pakistan team did not take advantage of the lead of 487 runs given by Australia. Pakistan team was all out for just 271 runs in the first innings. Australia team did not bat that well in the second innings. Australia team is under some pressure after losing 2 wickets for only 83 runs.  In the first innings, David Warner scored 164 runs off only 211 balls with great batting. But in the second innings, David Warner got out for 0 runs. The dismissal of David Warner in the second innings is very disappointing for the Australian team.

[FinePoine0]

Australia team lead by 300 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, the Australian team has a good performance, but the Pakistani bowling put Warner out and put a lot of pressure on the Australian team. Warner scored 164 runs in the first innings and the Australian team took a big lead here, but the Tiger batsman got out for zero runs in the second innings. At present, the Australian team has collected 84 runs for 2 wickets in 33 overs, if the Australian team continues to collect runs in this way, then the batsmen of the Australian team will roar again.

David Warner scored 164 runs in the first innings and was dismissed for zero runs in the second innings. But with Australia leading by 300 runs, this run will be a tough target for Pakistan. The chances of this Test being a draw is very low as it is not possible to bat well in the second innings. If Australia can bat a session tomorrow and give Pakistan a lead of 450 runs then Pakistan will surely lose this Test.
However, Australian captain Pat Cummins is likely to declare the innings by batting aggressively in the first session tomorrow and invite Pakistan to bat with a big run lead.

Today 3 rd day ended today of 1 st test game between Pakistan team vs Australia team. In today, Pakistan team was not scored good runs and was not showed great effort in batting lineup and except of Imam ul haq players all of remaining batsman performed very poor effort. Imam ul hap only player of Pakistan team scored 62 runs in 199 balls and he hitted four 4s. Mostly players bowled out below of 10 runs and A.Shafiqur scored 42 runs in 121 balls and leader S.Maqsood scored 30 runs in 45 balls and he played good in test game before started this series but in 1 st game he performed very poorly. All bowled out of Pakistan team, when they scored 261 runs and in 1 st inning of Australia team, they scored 487 runs and they just chased down 287 runs it's mean that Australia team already lead by 216 runs and now they scored more 84 runs in 2 nd inning and total 300 runs lead by Australia team.

Australia scored 487 runs in the first innings while Pakistan scored 271 runs. the difference between these two in the first innings is 216 runs. so here Australia is way ahead.  And Australia started the game again in the second innings and scored 84 runs for 2 wickets in the second innings also Australia seems to be able to cross 300 runs while Pakistan need to score more than 500 runs in the second innings to win the match and Pakistan doesn't seem to be able to do it.  Because they managed to score only 271 runs in the first innings, how can they score more than 500 runs in the second innings. so it can be said in advance that Australia will win this test match

[Popkon6]

Khawaja and Steven Smith are the two batsmen currently in partnership, and their partnership is very strong. Australia team is already leading by 300 runs so they have started batting more strongly at present. Two wickets fell on the first day of the second innings, with strong batsman Warner out. If the Pakistani team can keep Australia under pressure in this second innings from the bowling side, it will be a very competitive game. Khurram Shahzad picked up two wickets, conceding 19 runs in just 9 overs. He has done the best bowling performance in the second innings among the Pakistani team.

Competitive game? Lmao. What are you talking about? Australia's chances of winning this one at the moment are extremely high thanks to Pakistan collapsing after Imam and Shafique got out.

Shahzad bowled well consistently in both innings, but that is not enough to help his team win. They need to perform a lot better as a team in the 2nd match in order to win.

[onecall123]

Pakistan initially showed some fight with ball, but Australia quickly fight back. The Aussie team, led by Khawaja and Steven Smith, has established a decent lead.

Honestly, Australia seems to be a much stronger team compared to Pakistan in this test. Both Pakistan's batters and bowlers haven't delivered a standout performance. Unfortunately, Pakistan missed a chance to perform well with the bat in favorable conditions, making it difficult to salvage a draw in this test. I think it's very likely Australia will get a win, and Pakistan might face a challenging situation in their second innings as well.

[JSRAW]

Pakistani fans should not be disappointed with these results in Australia. You guys are not alone, almost every visiting team gets the same treatment whenever they tour Australia.

Before Proteas used to win and compete against Australia in Australia, nowadays it's just India so according to traditions at one time, Aussie only allows one team to win or compete in Australia and everything is going according to plans, your time will also come.
