Pakistani cricket fans enjoy watching first bilateral series played in Pakistan after longtime. Cricket fans from around the world watched the first Test match played at Rawalpindi. Also Pakistani cricket fans from allover the world watching cricket played in Pakistan at last. Spectators at the Pindi-cricket-stadium in Rawalpindi took a sigh of relief even though the first Test ended in a draw.
Cricket tours earlier by New Zealand and England in 2021 cancelled. However, 2022 started nicely for cricket in Pakistan. Since Australia tour possibly a great success for cricket in Pakistan, cricket fans in Pakistan expressed happiness. One of the top cricket teams like Australia currently playing good cricket even in Pakistan.
Both Pakistan and Australia competing like champions. A test of patience and skills to counter top attacking bowlers from both sides observed.
Cricket is the best leveler as things do comeback in favor of any country. Once Pakistani cricket fans were shocked and sad, but now they’re happy.
“It’s the way, a Test match needs to be played. Strong batting performance from both sides worth to watch. Bowlers did extremely well for Pakistan, but at the last moment”. Said a Pakistani cricket expert to one of the spokespersons of live streaming channels. Pakistan declared their first innings after losing just four wickets at a score of 476.
The Review not taken:
Pakistan played their first innings cautiously. Australia responded nicely and batted well to reach a score very close to that of Pakistan’s 476/4. Meanwhile, Aussies tour to Pakistan will benefit PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board) as Pakistan’s cricket board was in deep trouble.
Also during the end Pat Cummins opted not to review when Imam-ul-Haq was on 95. He was looking for the century and stood there even after nicking the ball at short-leg. A big smile on the face of Cummins. That’s how cricket is a gentleman’s game. Cummins decided not to review because the Test match was eventually ending for a draw.
A last laugh for Pakistani cricket fans
Two Pakistani players scored big centuries in the first innings, but none from the Aussie side. Imam-ul-Haq scored a nice 157 and Azhar Ali scored a brilliant 185. It looked Pakistan bowlers would pick a few early wickets, but Australia played good cricket.
Some attacking strokes, caution, and disciple showed initially, but then the Aussies folded up just 17 runs short of Pakistan’s 476. The lead of 17 runs not enough for Pakistan to win the Test match, but to bat much better in the second innings.
Both openers Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique were close to their respective excellently compiled centuries around the tea time. Pakistan looks strong at present and a better team than Australia.
Meanwhile what Nathan Lyon said earlier:
Nathan Lyon (Aussie top spinner) told earlier that “Australia is looking to win the Test series 3-0 in Pakistan, not just a series victory”. The equation of winning 3-0 is out of reach, but a 2-0 win for Australia against Pakistan looks not too far. However, Pakistan also can do so in the next two Test matches. A series victory for Pakistan at home will be delightful for all the Pakistani cricket fans to have a last laugh.
Here, Pakistani cricket fans had a last laugh since Australia lost all their ten wickets at the score of 459. Pakistan started their second innings strongly. Losing not even a single wicket at lunch, and at tea.
The highs from the first Test match in the second innings in which Pakistan went past 200 runs without loss; put Pakistani cricket fans on top. The first Test match ended in a tame draw, where in the first innings two Pakistani players scored big centuries. Also in the second innings two Pakistani players (opening pair) scored excellent centuries.
