In other side Pakistan is having a problem to select a 3 seamers in a positive way as few equally talented pacers are trying to grab the 3 spots.

Usman Khan getting the player of the award in 4 th ODI will surely retain his place and we expect Shaheen Afridi to play the game tody.In addition to them they will have to choose either Hasan Ali or Mohammed Amir and we expect they will give another chance to Amir before as world cup is coming up.

It was a great contest in the 3 rd ODI as Pakistan were able to show up a good performance with the bat but had to ended up in loosing side in a rain affected ODI.

But still there was no any difference between both teams as we reckon and surely 4 th ODI can be anyone's game.

Lots of changes can't be expected from both teams but everyone is concirned over the form of Fakhar Zaman and lots of arguments are going on saying that he should be replaced.But as we think he is a very good player for Pakistan in Big games and he should atleast given one more oppurtunity with the World Cup closing up to get back into Form.

1 st Test Sri Lanka vs Australia:1 st day analysis

It was a good day of Cricket for Australia after a rather poor series with India as they were able to end the day on a high .

Sri Lanka won the toss earlier in the day and made rather surprising bad decision to bat first on The Gabba pitch.We mentioned it earlier when the day started that normally it is always good to bowl first on this pitch with the experiences we got from reporting matches which were played here.

In reply Australia were able to end the day on a high at 72 runs for 2 wickets and they are now trailing Sri Lanka's first inning score by just 72 runs.

Sri Lanka will have to pretty well tommorow to get the Australian batsmen out for atleast 250 runs from here to stop Australia take the away from them.

1 st Test Sri Lanka vs Australia:Live Updates

Very Good Afternoon to everyone around the world who are with us to enjoy the 1 st Test between Sri Lanka and Australia.

It is a very good day for cricket at the Gabba stadium here at Brisbane and Lankans who won the toss decided to bat first rather surprisingly in a stadium which is normally known to assist Seamers in the 1 st session of the match.

But Sri Lankan openers managed to stay away from early danger as they have now scored 26 runs without loosing a wicket after 8 overs.

Pitch does look like it has a good support for seamers and if Lankans can manage to be cautious in the 1 st hour of the match it will start looking more easier to bat on.

Sri Lanka has made a new change in the opening combination as they have opted Lahiru Thirimanne at the top and currently he is on 12 while his senior partner Karunarathne is on 11.

Average 1 st inning score here at Gabba is 342 runs but anything between 250 to 300 will be a good score according to the pitch as we reckon to put some pressure on Australia who lost a series to India recently.
