But generally Australia make huge totals when they bat first. So as an opposition team, you shouldn't be fazed under scoreboard pressure and look to play your shots too as the bad balls will come. The moment Pakistan went into their shells scoring at 1.8, it was obvious that a collapse was just around the corner. You let the Aussie bowlers bowl at you and dictate terms, you are cooked goose.



Anyway the current Australian team looks surprisingly green in their batting. It's basically a 3 man team in Smith, Warner and Khawaja. Renshaw and Handscomb have potential but are inexp while the likes of Maddinson and Wade are a joke. But their bowling is world class irrespective of the surface. This match is beyond Pakistan, but they have a good chance in the next two if they induce a similar collapse in the Australian line up at Melbourne or Sydney. But the batting needs to stand up to have a chance of beating Australia in Australia.
