Australia Pakistan Test series Preview

Once again the eyes are set on to see Australia and Pakistan together in their Test series. Hardly a week is left for the first Test which is to be held at Lord’s. It will be a good opportunity for Pakistan to show its skills for test conditions after carrying the day at T20 against Australia. In the T20 match Pakistan was welcomed with the overwhelming crowd’s support. Now is the time to enthuse Pakistan team back with same support of the crowd.

Australia

Though Australia has warmed up themselves for the forthcoming test series, playing against Derbyshire, it has been estimated that due to recent losses kangaroos will be seen with low confidence level. Australia was at loss in ODI while playing against England and in T20 series, against Pakistan. Australia in its full swing and with an input of positive attitude will pave its feet on Lord’s in the first Test. The Test series will be a good practice for the Team for The Ashes at hand.

Michael Hussey and Rickey Ponting were back to their form while playing against Derbyshire. Their stroke of centuries says it all about their preparation.

Michael Hussey was seen back in his form once again after giving continuous strokes of sixes with much ease. Hussey also proves his good batting in order to reply to the spinners. This will be adding on practice for Australian batsman against the Pakistan spinners. Hussey has spent years in making a come back in Australia’s test team.

Australian team lacks bowlers in number. In recent last matches the bowlers’ performances were not up to the mark. Thus the weaker aspect highlights toward Australian bowlers. Dirk Nannes and Shawn Tait were unable to prevent the rising scores of Pakistan but their bowling efforts were appreciated. Both Nannes and Tait are not among the squad this time. Expectations are high with debutants Peter George, Usman Khawaja, Tim Paine and Steven Smith.
