Criticism of previous Test wickets has been heard. Before the start of the second test, he started talking again? A Pakistani supporter did not want his country to be discredited. At his request, Mohammad Amir tweeted, “All right, this pindi is faster than the wicket.”
Before the request was granted, Pakistan’s left-arm pacer tweeted that the wicket was slower than Pindi’s. The wicket of the first Test of the series between Pakistan and Australia had to get one demerit point and inferior tag as there was nothing for the bowlers in the wicket. Learning from Rawalpindi will make the Karachi wicket come alive, he hoped no one was to blame.
But the Karachi Test also saw a dead wicket on the first day. The host team was able to take 3 wickets of Australia by getting the luck aside. Australia finished the day with 251 runs in the first century of Usman Khawaja on Pakistani soil.
Australia made their Test debut as an expert leg-spinner after 2009. Mitchell Swipson, who has been with the team for five years, is now 28 years old. But on the day of his debut, it was clear from the wicket that he would not be bowled. If anyone has any doubts about this, it flew away in the first half hour.
After 24 years, Australia has got Australia at home. They started such a historic series with a draw test. The main reason behind this is Pindi’s slow lifeless wicket. The curator forgot to keep something for the spinners as well to stop the Australian fast bowlers. The first day’s wicket in Karachi was reminiscent of Rawalpindi.
Warner, who started a little cautious in the first Test, has gone in the opposite direction today. At the other end, Usman Khawaja ran after the run just like in the first Test. Australia have crossed the half-century mark in just 11 overs. All-rounder Fahim Ashraf returned a positive play from the start before the lunch break with a great delivery from all-rounder Fahim Ashraf. Shortly after the run-out with zero runs, Marnus Labushen, who had been praising dal bread the day before.
Khwaja and Steve Smith did not notice the push before the lunch break. In the second session, Karachi’s wicket showed little hope for the days to come. Shahin Shah Afridi and Ashraf have achieved reverse swing. But the control did not allow Pakistan to go to the two batsmen who were seen to run in the first Test.
Together the two have dragged the team up to two and a half hundred. Khwaja has already met the century. He did not score a century for 3 runs in the first Test at home. In the second test, he removed the dissatisfaction. Hasan Ali’s 159-run partnership was broken. Smith made his first mistake in the 69th over of the day. If Hasan Ali’s ball is stabbed, it goes to the second slip. The ball is almost passing, in this situation Ashraf extended his hand. He was caught just before he hit the ground. At first glance it seemed like out, the umpire did the same. But seeing the replay, the suspicion was growing. But Smith (62) had to return as there was nothing strong enough to change his mind.
Luckily for Pakistan in the previous two outs, they missed the opportunity at the end of the day. Nightwatchman Nathan Lion caught Shahin Afridi’s short leg. But Imam-ul-Haq dropped the ball. Khwaja, who is unbeaten on 127, will take charge of Australia’s innings tomorrow. On the first day, but the character of the wicket has changed.
