5 Tests played here. 3 draws and 2 Pak wins.
At first I thought, Pak only needs a draw, so they will prepare an absolute road. But given Australia's middle order failure against spin, they may well go for a spinning track.
I'd say Clarke is key. If he fails again, then Pak win. If not a draw seems likely.
No team news, but changes likely for Aus.

Agree, it seems strange that Aus are the lowest price of the three. Only problem with a max lay is that it is Pakistan and you can never tell.

been utterly hapless in spin friendly conditions since warne and co departed. only clarke has much of clue how to play spin
|
|
By:
Smith is pretty good against spin, and Warner also.
Warner also key. If he goes early, I don't give much for Australia's chances. |

Once again the limited data show that the 1st of 4 Inns is the hardest for batting... 200 odd totals. Inns 2 & 3 highest of the matches.. Looking to back draw at max price somewhere on day1/2.

Draw love starting.

Think I will lay draw around evens or Aus at fall of wicket.Whichever happens first
|

By:
Can not see a draw on this deck.Especially Aus being aggressive and Pak..... well being Pak.

Paks always have one eye on the fair

Betty probably doesn't charge them premium either

there's a result in this game
|
|
By:
this is how you beat Australia ladies and gentlemen, prepare an absolute road of a pitch, bat for 2 days and then bowl spin
looks like I will be watching the grass grow for the next few days, this is boring as **** |
|
By:
Bad day for Australia - mediocre bowling, poor fielding. Aussies are a good side on a quick deck but
on these kind of tracks their record over the last few years is an embarrasment. Didn't find it boring tho - loved watching Khan and Ali grind the Aussies down  |

By:
can not remember the last time Aussie were 18s after the first day of a test match, still 4 days to go
 |

Didnt see a lot of play last night, however what I did see was enough to change tack a little bit. Backed Pakistan at $3 and still think they are massive value. I fancy them to get to 550. Think the changes to the Aussie side places so much pressure on the Aus big 3, Warner Clarke and Smith. Will be keen to lay draw as it shortens below $1.50.

A result depends on the pitch days 4 and 5. If it doesn't break up then a draw seems likely.
I don't expect an Australian middle order collapse, but then I didn't expect the 2 collapses in the previous match. |

By:
Be rude not to have a bit of Aus at 23.
|
|
By:
Aus fielding has been pox
|
|
By:
Misbah should get the draw sub 1.50
|
|
By:
Haddin rooted 10 batsman.Can't lift arm once jabs worn off.
|
|
By:
Pak declare 550?
|
|
By:
Bat once, bat long hope pitch deteriorates are my thoughts.Pak happy with draw
|
|
By:
A likely series win for pakistan would suggest bat until at least 650 runs, maybe more, and can not see them them enforcing a possible follow on unless aussie a minimum 300 behind, or not enough time left in match for pakistan to bat again
|
|
By:
I miss the old, blow up at any time, Pakistan.
|
|
By:
aussies have been ground in to dust, pakistan have scored 750 runs with the loss of 5 wkts in last two innings
|
|
By:
yes pxb, and with plenty of trading opportunities
 |
|
By:
will they put them in for few over tonight you think ?
|
|
By:
is it only 25 overs tonight or do they bowl till cut off time ?
|
|
By:
this is the flattest track I have seen us play on in a very long time
credit to the Pakis for doing what they have to do but let's be honest about this, that is as flat as they come |
|
By:
will not be that flat when pakistan spinners get going
|
|
By:
will spitting like a cobra,can see a follow on.
|
|
By:
proud of the aussies, conditions obviously not suiting us, lost the toss on a road of a pitch but havent given up
easy for Haddin to pack it in and sit in the shed, hasn't done it |
|
By:
A pom spinner would already be at Heathrow
|
|
By:
why haven't they declared?
don't they think they have enough?  |
|
By:
They will bat till lunch day 3.Nothing to lose
|
|
By:
