Australia's tour to Pakistan 2022 - after 24 long years

 

With response to the above Clip, first of of all I was happy to see, the same PSL sort preparation for this series unlike the one NZ and later on England cancelled, due to lack of interests from higher management, but this current PCB management head by Ramiz Raja, at the shadows of two tours being cancelled amid security threats, has made sure that Pakistan's Cricket should be broadcasted as a viewable product, because as soon as RR came into power, he initiated with PCB Shop, where everyone can order Pakistan Cricket Official Merchandise, than afterwards invested in broadcasting deals, because of which GEO SUPER which was previously partnering with PTV Sports but this might be my own opinion but I personally felt, they were aligned with Indian funded Media Personnel, as this time round when deal was finalized with ARY Group, the standard of presentation improved drastically and not only that, but also related to increase in broadcasting and streaming partners, which was sans when it was aligned with GEO group.

Coming back to the series

Currently when I am writing these lines, day three of the first test between two teams have been concluded, and tomorrow is fourth day of the test match but it has been predicted that tomorrow is supposed to be somewhat rainy day, but what I am seeing and with respect to the above mentioned video, I also agree with their point of view, that if weather allowed, and if our bowlers bowled their heart out just like they did during their tour to Bangladesh, where Sajid Khan plummeted the Bangladesh Side on their home soil twice within 24 hours, but hoping against hope, Australia is fully potent to save this test match, hence if I utter in local street language, it'd be a test of skills for not only skipper of Pakistani team but also set of bowling skills and variations of our bowlers and fielders supporting the cause because now Australia is avoided the follow on, but at least Pakistan should go for the aggression and try to bowl them (Australia) out inside our scored runs, because it'd give an head-on advantage when we are going to come for batting again in third innings so that during the fourth innings, we can exert pressure over the visitors, because this pitch (Rawalpindi) is surely going to support bowlers hence we can use non orthodox bowlers like Babar Azam and/or Fawad Alam along with our regular bowlers, such type of thinking should be incorporated IF WE WANT TO WIN THIS TEST MATCH otherwise I might have to agree with Mr. Nauman Niaz Sahab, that this test match is surely going towards a draw.

Coming to across the border

Similarly, today India plummeted Sri Lanka at Mohali with similar circumstances like Pakistan did to Bangladesh in second test in 2021, means India batted once only whereas Sri Lanka once followed on, and secondly they were unable to contemplate in front of the mammoth score by the hosts, similarly this win means India achieved precious two points in on going world test championship, for which Pakistan and Australia are fighting for these precious two points because one single two poin-ter can change the standings of the points table, for which I'd be eying on how both teams play.
