It wasn’t a great day for Pakistani bowling unit. Shaheen Afridi was off colour with just the wicket of Usman Khawaja. Aamer Jamal scalped two wickets on Day 1 but was expensive, going at 5.25 economy rate.
The visitors will need to buckle up on Day 2 with quick wickets to have any chance in the AUS vs PAK 1st Test. For Australia, Marsh and Carey will want to carry on the momentum. The likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon and even Josh Hazlewood are also quite handy with the bat as the lower order will also look to contribute for their side to post a mammoth total on the board.
