Pakistan v Australia | 2nd Test | Day 1: Session 2, 3 | Leeds | 21/07/10

[ShehryarK]

Here's what I had to say at the start of the day:

Salman Butt's first Test as captain. Just as the Test last week was Shahid Afridi's first Test as captain. *sigh*

Let's hope we don't do what England did and have four different Test captains for one summer's Test cricket!

Can Pakistan end their 13-0 Test losing streak against Australia? Can this be the first Test against Australia for almost 12 years that we do not lose?

------------

Well, its not looking too shabby now, is it! Honours even at Lunch? More like Pakistan have thoroughly demolished the Australian batting line-up and delivered a world-class phainty.


At Lunch, on Day 1:

Australia, after winning the toss and electing to bat first, are a mind-boggling 73/6 (25.0 ov)


Can we get them for a paltry score and then get a good start? All will be revealed later today.....
