Beginning a tour of the sub-continent with a draw is a result perfectly acceptable to most visiting captains but Australia skipper Pat Cummins knows the task gets significantly tougher for his team in the second test against Pakistan on Saturday.
Beginning a tour of the sub-continent with a draw is a result perfectly acceptable to most visiting captains but Australia skipper Pat Cummins knows the task gets significantly tougher for his team in the second test against Pakistan on Saturday.
Australia`s first test in Pakistan in 24 years turned out to be a run-feast in Rawalpindi where 1,187 runs were scored and only 14 wickets fell, earning a “below average” rating from the match referee.
After five dull days of bat dominating ball, things are likely to spice up on a dry track at Karachi`s National Stadium where spin and reverse swing should ensure runs are not taken for granted.
Australia have responded by harnessing debutant Mitchell Swepson with Nathan Lyon in a two-man spin attack, sacrificing the pace of Josh Hazlewood and endorsing Mitchell Starc`s reverse swing skills.
“The wicket here looks a little bit drier. Historically, it`s bit friendlier for the spinners,” Cummins told a news conference on Friday.
“We think particularly a wristspinner of Swepo`s quality gives us a balance, give us the best opportunity to take 20 wickets.”
