Tomorrow the 2nd test between Pakistan and Australia will begin at the National Stadium Karachi. Pakistan and Australia have both prepared and are ready. Australia have even revealed their starting eleven and Swepson will debut for Australia tomorrow. A leg spinner will play for Australia after a very long time and it will be interesting to see what the spin twin combo of Lyon and Swepson bring to the playing field on a Karachi pitch that is expected to offer more assistance for the spinners. Pakistan is also expected to make two changes to their starting eleven from the previous game. Hasan Ali and Faheem Ashraf are expected to come in place of Naseem Shah and Iftikar Ahmed. I would like to see Pakistan be a bit more attacking and play a leg spinner in Zahid Mahmood. Especially if a spin-friendly wicket is being prepared then Pakistan should play 3 spinners and go for the kill. I don't think they should play Faheem in this game. Pakistan Predicted XI: 1 Imam-ul-Haq 2 Abdulla Sha

  The CSA 4 day series has come to an end with Titans being crowned champions of division 1 and Northen Cape Heat champions of division 2. There have been some great performances through the season with both divisions going into the last round with 3 teams still having a chance to win the tournament.  Division 2 was most dominated by Northern Cape Heat for the first couple of rounds until the loss to South Western Districts in beating Northern Cape South Western Districts kept their hopes alive as well as the Tuskers going into the last round any of these 3 could have been crowned champions. It was the Northern Cape Heat who would come out on top after drawing the match while the Hollywoodbets Tuskers also settled for a draw and the South Western Districts lost their match. Here are some of the top performers from this season. Division 2 showed some promise with players showing some good potential for the future.  Division 1 came down to the last round with the Titans, Warriors and Lio

  The 1st test between Pakistan and Australia has ended in a draw. This match has been filled with criticism as the pitch has been labelled not good for test cricket. The way the match went it was not very entertaining or interesting. The approach from Pakistan during their 1st innings was very defensive as they struggled to up their run rate and move the pace of the match forward. Australia did try to make the match interesting by trying to score as fast as they could and ended up being bowled out and giving Pakistan a lead of 16 going into their 2nd innings. Pakistan could have been a bit better with the way they utilised their bowlers as I felt they could have bowled Nauman Ali more on day 3 as was their best bowler and was very impressed with his performance as he ended up taking 6 wickets.  Pakistan's 2nd innings was better than the 1st and if they could have played this way once they were set in the 1st innings they could have pushed for a result in this test. Pakistan can ta

  India has completed a dominant win against Sri Lanka by an innings and 222 runs. The star of the game was Jadeja with his 175 not out and 9 wickets. India was dominant from day  1 and they ended up winning the match in 2 and half days. The Indian batting order put in a decent performance with the bat in hand posting 574/8.  Sri Lanka was bowled out for 174 and 178.    It was all India throughout the test match as Sri Lanka struggled to put up a fight in this match. There were a few individual performances from Sri Lankan players Nissaka 61 in the 1st innings and Dickwella 51 in the 2nd innings but both never really got any support from anybody else to put together a partnership and apply pressure on India one end was always open and wickets just kept falling on regular basis.  The Sri Lankan team were always chasing the game and never looked like there would pose any threat to the Indian team at all this was a totally dominating performance from the Indian side to start their new era

  Tomorrow the test series between India and Sri Lanka will start and the 1st test will be a very momentous occasion for India as the former captain Virat Kohli plays his hundredth test match. This series is also the start of a new era in test cricket for India as Rohit Sharma will captain India in test cricket for the first time.  India will be looking to start off on a good note under the leadership of Rohit in test cricket and also they will hope Virat Kohli will return to form and make the celebration of his hundredth test even more enjoyable.  Sri Lanka will be looking to continue their good form in the test having beaten West Indies but they will know it won't be easy to beat India in India and also this Indian side that has been dominant for a while. I think both teams will go with their strengths considering the conditions will be familiar to both teams. India predicted XI: 1. Rohit Sharma(c), 2 Mayank Agarwal, 3. Shreyas Iyer, 4. Virat Kohli, 5. Hanuma Vihari, 6. Rishab Pa

   Pakistan vs Australia historical test series will start in a few hours' time and both teams have prepared themselves and are ready to go. This is going to be a very interesting series and also a very important series for both considering world test championship points will be at stake.  Australia will look to start off well as this is the 1st of 3 subcontinental tours in this cycle of the world test championship and for Pakistan, this is the 1st of 3 big test series they will play at home this year.  The 1st test will take place at the Rawalpindi stadium. It will be interesting to see what starting xi both teams put out on the field for this game. what I have seen of the pitch in Pindi I think it's going to suit the seamers and Pakistan will go with 3 seamers, spinner and all-rounder( could be a spinning all-rounder)  and Australia will go with their tried and tested combination of 3 seamers and a spinner with the all-rounder( seam all-rounder).  Pakistan predicted Xi: 1. Im

  The test series between New Zealand and the Proteas has ended in a 1-1 draw and left both teams well placed in the world test championship. Proteas have a 60% win percentage after 5 tests and New Zealand 46.66% win percentage after 6 tests.  Proteas made a good comeback in the 2nd test after a very disappointing performance in the 1st test. They were caught off guard against the moving ball in the 1st test and failed to make the right adjustments to tackle the conditions to put up a fight with the bat in hand. With the ball, their bowlers struggled and Rabada, Jansen were left with all the work to do as Stuurman and Oliver failed to provide good support. Proteas made the needed adjustments and come back with an excellent performance in the 2nd test as they levelled the series 1-1 to keep their proud record of never losing a test series to New Zealand still in tacked.  There were opportunities provided to players on both sides as key players were missing and also retirements of key pl
