Another innings victory for Australia. Another Test win at home over Pakistan (Australia have now recorded 14 on the bounce since 1995, when they last lost to Pakistan on these shores) and another home series win over this opponent (Pakistan have never won a Test series in Australia). And it was as comprehensive as it sounds. Dave Warner, whose mind boggling 335 not out in Adelaide took his series tally to 489 runs, is back in form, Marnus Labuschagne has sewn up first drop for a time to come and Australia’s attack showed yet again how devastating and versatile it is. The pacemen shared the wickets and, on this fourth day in Adelaide, Nathan Lyon claimed his 16th five-wicket bag to remind all and sundry that when his time comes, he rarely fluffs his lines. And to think, amongst all this, Steve Smith was barely sighted. Australia will find a greater challenge in New Zealand, but in Pakistan they have partaken in a confidence-building exercise that will stand them in good stead. Onwards and upwards. Thanks for your company. Please join us again in Perth.
