Can Pakistan Post a Good Total in Second Inning of First Test


Today after the end of third day of 1st  Test match between Pakistan & Australia. Pakistan closed the day 38/0 all ten wickets in hand.  Wonderful display of bowling by inexperience bowling line of Pakistan on third day. Pakistan team will resume their second inning with the lead of 151 runs in 1st inning. Pakistan is in good position to win the match if they capitalize the situation and post a good target against Australia who has to play in last 5th and last day of the match.

Pakistan’s batsmen should play on fourth day carefully like they have played on the first day of the match so that momentum which is very much on Pakistan side shouldn't shifted back to Australia. Senior batsmen should play their part once again. The match is not over yet. In past, we saw in same kind of situation Pakistan batting line failed & bowled out so cheaply on a very low score and ended up on a soft or less then reasonable target for the opposite team. In a result the target was chased by opposite team with one or two brilliant innings of their batsmen.  Australia definitely has few world class batsmen in their bating line that can do it for them.

Once again match will be decided through that 2nd innings of Pakistan which can either strengthen their position even more & in a result winning the match comfortably or could cost them the match which they played wonderfully in three consecutive days. All eye on this most important part which can also decide fate of the whole test series. Once a losing team, who came back so strongly and eventually winning the match has a huge psychological advantage, resulting in a comprehensive series victory.

I wish Pakistan bating line will not disappoint us on fourth day and post a good total in second inning so that when Australian team come to ground  on last day for their second innings they have only two result in their mind of the match either to draw the match or otherwise lose it. 

We need this victory for Pakistan. We need it most for Pakistan cricket.
