The three match test series got underway today. Australia recovered and recovered well to post 8/357 at stumps. I hope Pakistan can make this series exciting.
I am waiting for the next tournament in Australia though.

After two days Australia are in control. They posted 391 on first innings and are 0/15 in their second. Today Pakistan were bowled out for a mere 179. Australia didn't enforce the follow on and are set to put the match beyond Pakistan's reach as there are still three more days to play. So it won't be sixth time lucky for Pakistan at the WACCA.

This is turning out to be one sided again,i'm sure Australia will get a 3-0 series victory, just wish Langer had made it to his double hundred.
Next tournament in Australia,lemme see,Aus-Pak-Windies?That'll be fun, I'm hoping for an Australia-Windies final which ofcourse the Aussies will win!!

It is too early to say that Australia are going to win it 3-0. Even if Pakistan don't have the quality, there is always chance of bad weather intervening.

Australia have thrashed Pakistan in the first Test. They wrapped up things early on the third morning to win by 491 runs the fourth highest margin ever. McGrath had taken the first seven Pakistani second innings wickets to fall. Pakistan will need to work much harder if they're to get anything out of this series.

Bad weather is a once in a blue moon kinda thing in Australia,so you can't really bank on that one, and with Shoaib Akhtar's injury, I only see dark skies for Pakistan!!

Australia have taken control in the boxing day test against Pakistan in Melbourne. They took a 38 run lead on first innings and Pakistan are stuggling in their second approaching stumps on day three.

Australia have clinched the series by coming from behind to thrash Pakistan pretty comfortably in the end. They chased the 126 runs they needed for victory with the loss of Justin Langer to win by nine wickets. Australia will now be looking for a clean sweep in Sydney. I think that's where the third test is taking place.
