'They tried to attempt to invalidate the speed bowling' - Cummins on Rawalpindi track

 Australia burned through 239 overs on the field bowling on the 'dead' Rawalpindi track as Pakistan hitters made cheerful before the sides needed to agree to an attract the initial Test. Chief Pat Cummins needed to utilize nine bowlers on the last day as the hosts trotted to 252 for no misfortune as both Imam ul Haq and Abdullah Shafique made hundreds of years.

Regardless of the weighty responsibility for his bowlers, Cummins wasn't excessively demoralized. "Going up to a pitch that is likely not a conventional contribute you would arrive Rawalpindi, and it's presumably clear they've tried to attempt to invalidate the speed bowling," he said after the Test. "I believe that is a positive. Also, sub-mainland conditions, leaving away with a draw it's anything but a terrible outcome.

"I think we as a whole attempted various things. I think every one of the speedy bowlers, despite the fact that we've spent the most awesome aspect of three days out in the field, I think we've all bowled around 25, greatest 30 overs every, which in contrast with a ton of Australian Test matches is really a quite light responsibility. Didn't get a gigantic glance at invert swing this Test, however that could come into it later on. However, I was truly content with how everybody went and everybody's come through solid."

While the Australian hitters neglected to get a century on the level track - with David Warner, Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne scoring half-hundreds of years - the Pakistan players had the option to take advantage of the circumstances. Imam made hundreds of years in the two innings, Shafique got his lady Test ton while Azhar Ali scored 185 in the main innings.

Cummins recognized the group should audit their arrangements in front of the second Test in Karachi. "I thought the Pakistani players batted all around well the entire game," he said. "Got themselves in and afterward once they motivated themselves in they had the option to simply tick over the score. We'll go through the several days checking on it viewing perhaps various prepares of Karachi, anticipating likely various circumstances also."
