Australian bowling has suffered a new setback in the 145-year history of Test cricket. The Australian bowlers have a Test average of 238.33, or one wicket for so many runs. Strike rate is even worse, one wicket for 478 balls. The same thing happened to Pakistan. Statistics show that Pakistan’s bowling average and strike rate were similar during Gary Sobers’ 365 not out.
In this case, Australia captain Pat Cummins said, “Rawalpindi pitch is not a traditional pitch. They are afraid of our crack shot and have set up such a dead pitch. But I see it as so positive. Drawing in these subcontinent situations seems like a good thing.
We made some weird attempts at the ball. We each threw 25-30 overs individually. This is less of a workload than the Australian Test matches. No big reverse swing. May be in the next Test. But glad everyone drew this Test match without major damage.
“I thought the Pakistan batsmen batted well throughout the game.”
“Over the next two days we will be reviewing different projects ahead of Karachi, perhaps expecting a different pitch to be included.” Said Cummins.
Cummins was delighted with his own team’s batting performance as Usman Khawaja and David Warner shared the opening stand of 156 for the first time in the first four overs since 2015. Considering the nature of the surface, it can be said that Australia’s batters may have thrived even more than they did. None of the first four made big centuries. Cummins said four more fell mainly on the mistakes they made.
