Australia vs Pakistan 2016-17
A struggling Australian team will be tested to the hilt when a fallible Pakistani side, which flirted with the No. 1 spot in ICC Test Rankings a few months ago, challenges them in a three-Test series. Not long ago, Australia were at the pinnacle in ICC Rankings, sitting pretty at the first spot in Test cricket going into the tour of Sri Lanka. But their horrendous performances in Sri Lanka and at home against South Africa have changed the dynamics completely.

Pakistan’s tour of Australia 2016-17 will start with a three-Test series. The first match will be a day-night Test at The Gabba, Brisbane, from December 15-19. The second Test will be at Melbourne from December 26-30, and the final Test will be played from January 3-7, 2017, at Sydney. The five-match ODI series will begin from January 13 at Brisbane and will conclude at the Adelaide Oval on January 26.

Australia were blanked 0-3 in Sri Lanka, a mortifying performance which marked the beginning of a tough phase. However, Australia’s struggle in Sri Lanka on turning wickets and against quality spin bowling did not ring the alarm bells until the team capitulated against South Africa at home. In their three-Test series versus South Africa, Australia were hammered in first two Tests without even putting up a fight, which led to the exit of many non-performing players and selection of as many as four young players.

At Hobart, Australia were bowled out for a poor 85, which marked a lot of changes in the cricketing setup. Trevor Hohns and Greg Chappell returned as selectors, and Australia drafted in young batsmen such as Matt Renshaw, Nic Maddinson and Peter Handscomb. In the bowling department, Chadd Sayers was included as well. With a string of changes, Australia showed signs of improvement as they registered a consolatory win in the final Test, a day-night contest at Adelaide Oval against South Africa.

Keeping in mind that Pakistan are coming off a listless performance in the two-Test series in New Zealand, Australia can fancy their chances. Pakistan suffered two heavy losses against Kiwis, losing the first Test at Christchurch by 8 wickets and the second and final match by 138 runs.

It was their manner of defeat at Hamilton in the second Test which makes Pakistan fallible. Chasing an improbable 369 on the final day, everything looked fine for the tourists till tea as they reached a formidable 158 for 1. The final session saw one of the most shocking collapses, as Pakistan folded up for mere 230, handing the Kiwis a big victory.

It goes without saying that Pakistan will be heavily reliant on their senior batsmen such as Misbah-ul-Haq and Younis Khan for success, but they will have to be wary of Australian quicks Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, who bagged 14 and 17 wickets in the South Africa series respectively.
