Pat Cummins on Australia’s performance on day 1 of test match against Pakistan
After day one of the match, the Australian captain Pat Cummins said, “It was a near-perfect day of Test cricket for us, the way the openers batted set the tone for us. He (Warner) batted well and put the pressure back on the bowlers. It was a tough wicket but he did well to score a hundred. I think when he goes back to his aggressive self he plays his best. It takes a lot of bravery to go out there and play like that.”
Pat further added, “We will see how it goes, 350 is good but getting another 100-150 runs would be lovely. The wicket looks like a pretty good wicket. First innings runs we will try and get as many as we can.”
Pakistan playing XI against Australia: Imam-ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood (c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wk), Salman Ali Agha, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Aamir Jamal, and Khurram Shahzad.
