Hi everyone
Would like to know your views?
I personally have been very impressed by them so far.They may still lose the test but they have shown great character.Lost the toss,expected to roll over with a weak batting lineup but they have punched above their weight.

Also we have been pretty bad again with team selection and reviews but still.....:dw
 
ive been dissapointed with Sarfaraz's captaincy on the second new ball.

He wasted precious overs by persisting with Harris Sohail and not having Mohammad Abbas have a crack straight up
 
With Justin Langer as batting coach, the preparations have been spot on
 
More like embarrassing for Pakistan. Yasir has been pure dud this match. Australia is the weakest team in SC for like 5 years now, and they don't even have Smith and Warner this time. Awful stuff by Pak.
 
Pakistan justifying their ranking here. If they can't beat this severely depleted Australia with ease (in UAE!), then there is something seriously wrong with their Cricket.
 
Amazing fightback. Test cricket at it’s best.
 
Gritty. Something for the Rahuls and Rahanes to learn from.
 
Pakistanis have a bad habbit not giving credit to opposition. Full marks to Aussies. Probably motivated by what happened last time they played test matches.

I'm impressed by how Pakistan manages to find ways of touching new lows. As if the Asia Cup wasn't enough, to struggle to bowl out Australia in five sessions is similar to that embarrassment. I won't be surprised if these guys manage to drop the next test to Australia.

Complete mental disintegration. :salute
 
Guve credit when its due. Aust batted superbly. I dnt think we can critize Sarfaraz captaincy as he had been brilliant throughout the test. Just that Aust batted well on last day
 
Gritty. Something for the Rahuls and Rahanes to learn from.
This! In alien conditions, Aus bats performed admirably something all our test bats bar Kohli could learn from.
 
It might be Pakistan's bad performances here and there at crucial times. Reviews and all.

But Australian batting really played well. Khawaja played superbly. Considering he struggled against spinners.
 
Fair play to Australia. I'm disappointed as a Pakistan fan but you have to give credit to the opposition sometimes. Everyone thought this Aussie team would just roll over.
 
Very impressed. They showed that under the new regime they will be difficult to beat. Add Smith,Cummins ,and Hazelwood back you have a very strong team.
 
I didn't expect Aus to fight so hard to save this test. 140 overs in last inning in UAE.... Very impressive.
 
Was deeply impressed with how late the aussies were playing against the spin

It looked like Pakistan were bowling in Australia. The ball wasnt really spinning the way I would expect it on most wickets across the world
 
It was impressive, it is not an easy task to bat out the whole 5th day to draw a match, Pakistan cannot draw games with the bat on any pitches in the world flat or not. But lets not blow it completely out of proportion either, the pitch had seriously slowed down, flattened out by Day 4 and 5.
