Predict the outcome of the 2nd Test between Pakistan and Australia

[Mesozoic]

Draw.

This is a still a flat wicket although not as bad as the first test one.

Wickets will fall only if the batters play rash shots like Shafique did just now.

Prediction: Draw

 

[Ashmal]

A draw will be a great achievement....batting out 172 overs to save the game will be an extraordinary effort.

 

[shamaan]

Nothing is there.
As I said earlier this pitch is flat, just little better than First Test pitch.

Thier is turn thier but not like you get in any pitches in india.

Draw.

Its certainly not a flat wicket anymore.

Plenty of rough and pretty wide cracks with many balls keeping quite low.

Its not a minefield like we get in India but surely there's more than enough in it for the bowlers

 

[Varun]

How Pakistan managed to get bundled out for 148 is beyond me.

Typical Pakistan thing.

But even that collapse won't ensure an Australia victory on this road.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Pakistan need to prepare one more Road for Third test to save this series.

Pathetic pitches

Having rough and cracks doesn't mean anything. Ball will still do nothing when it hits the crack And the top layer of the soil is soft. And ball won't actually do anything if the rough is not abrasive enough.

It was a slow low wicket where batsmen had enough time to smother the turn and and also deal with the seamers when it's not reversing too much. Pakistan's horrible 1st innings show made this a closer affair but this was always going to be a draw one way or the other as no half decent battle lineup would fail twice on this sort of wicket.

No chance for Pakistan to chase this one. Australia still firm favorites to win this one with maybe 65% for Australia win with 25% for draw & 10 % for Pakistan win.

Most likely we will see same old Babar who will get out early on a new day like he had done so many times in his 39 test matches so far.

Will crumble for 250

Australia is favorite to win. It will take a miraculous effort to draw the match.

This pitch has cracks and ball gets low not t o mention the deadly reverse swing when available combine all thus against a fragile and novice batting lineup of Pakistan and its a catch 22

I think you are quite generous with those percentages, I reckon 95% Australia win and 5% for the draw

Sun will never rise from west. Only one dismissal and it will be all over, Rizwan might delay eventual defeat for a bit.

Chance of Pakistan win : 0%
Draw : 0%
Australian win : 100&

Other interest in the game
Babar's highest test score ?
Abdullah's century ?
Whether Pakistan will take the game beyond team Time ? Very unlikely.

Australia will demolish Pakistan tomorrow .. serves the latter right for producing these horrible pitches.

Australia to win. Probably before tea.

I had so many expectations from this test series

Not today folks

Absolutely pathetic pitches. Coward move by the PBC. I said to my freinds after the pindi test that we should get ready for 3 draws because of how pathetic the pitches will be. Expect a draw in Lahore too. Honestly the ICC should take action against pakistan for such pitches.

And another thing, how low have we fallen that we are now celebrating 2 consecutive draws at home to Australia who have never been the best in Asian conditions? Especially when you factor in that we deliberately made pathetic pitches to gain an advantage.

Throw me under the bus too. Happily eating the humble pie as I thought Australia may win before tea.

Also, do you ever come to St. Louis to play cricket?

I have never been to St Louis. I know my profile says I live in Peoria but I have moved away

They only needed another 63 runs.
