***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

King Kane

International Regular
Actually a fairly decent day from Pakistan at least in terms of wickets. Still well behind in the game but at least they haven’t lost after Day 1.
With a new ball due soon Pakistan could take another 2 or 3 wickets before stumps which would get them right back into the game.

I expect their batsmen to have a much tougher time batting against Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc though so they are still facing an uphill battle.

Australia is very tough team and Pakistan is also a good team so it will be a great series.
I'm following all leagues and series.
ILT20 will be played from January 19 to February 17 2024

While obviously not the same as doing it against a fresh attack, Marsh here against the new rock could be a little insight into how he would go opening in Test cricket
Yeah this is a thing which is talked about remarkably little. Especially when with the advent of 80-over days, the team that bats first frequently faces effectively the same conditions at the start of day 2 as at the start of day 1.

It's weird, Warner's a pretty awful player outside of Australia generally, but that and his first tour of South Africa he was fantastic. Interesting that he hasn't been able to replicate it otherwise.
Well if there is any other country where wickets can offer the same pace and bounce as Australia, its South Africa

Hey we're still better than the West Indies. Shame about the dropped catches but this is merely awful now
It's certainly ended much closer than it looked like being after the first session. part of it is I don't think Australia batted that well aside from Warner. This lineup's slowly on its way out and it's frustratingly rare for there to be more than one significant contribution an innings - no one else has passed fifty here.

If Marsh and Carey can be gotten cheaply Pakistan has a chance to keep them to around 400. The Australian tail doesn't contribute very much these days.
