A TEST FOR PCB
The 2nd test between Pakistan and Australia started good for Pakistan with the early wicket of Joe Burns by Shaheen Afridi however the celebrations could not last long as THE DEMOLITION MEN; David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne literally made it a test for the Pakistani bowlers as they were wacked to all parts of the ground. Warner shone the brightest even under the lights with a pummeling score of 335 brilliantly supported by Marnus who scored 162. Australia declared the innings after getting tired of hitting the Pakistani bowlers to kingdom-com on 589/3.
Pakistan started their first innings with the signature shot of their coach and cheif selector Misbah-ul-Haq; tuk tuk. This continued on and on even after Iman fell and the captain fell for just 9 then Asad fell but this defensive approach did not end and led it's top and middle order to it's demise leaving Babar Azam and Yasir Shah to cover for the rest of the team.
Before this series a huge revolution came in the PCB when Sarfraz was dismissed from the duties of captain of The Pakistan cricket team and Misbah being appointed as the new coach and cheif selector of Pakistan who made Azhar ali captain of the test team and Babar captain of the t20 squad. It was expected that these changes would bring pakistan a new prespective however so far it has done nothing but disappoint the cricket loving nation of Pakistan.
The second day ended with Pakistan in a very dangerous position and Australia in a very comfortable position to stay undefeated which would be absolute shame for Pakistan unless the miracle maker Babar gives a galiant effort to make the worst performance of pakistan into his best performance.
Many would have already picked Auses as the winner but the cricket lovers in Pakistan still hope that pakistan can atleast draw this test while the 2nd day ends all hope that this doesnot end in a complete emaresment for Pakistan and all hope relies on
BABAR AZAM.
