Pakistan vs Australia: Babar Azam calls score of 196 'one of his best innings'

Firstpost  

He said he always rated those of his innings very highly which played a big role in Pakistan winning a match or saving it. Karachi: Pakistan captain Babar Azam has rated his 196 in the second Test against Australia as “one of his best innings” which has helped his team draw the game from a precarious position. “In Karachi, you usually get some reverse swing and the Australian bowlers got some on the third day and we contributed with some soft dismissals.” He noted that spinners had also got some turn in Karachi and Test cricket was always tough but the pitch was not easy to bat on as one had to concentrate hard and it was not easy for a new batsman coming in to bat. Cummins also said it was a combination of some costly missed chances by Australia and some fantastically good batting by Babar Azam, Muhammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique which led to a drawn Test. “I think reverse swing bowling can be a real factor on the game especially, if you get a breakthrough and a get a new batter in things very quickly but I thought Babar, Rizwan, Shafique they batted fantastically last on last two days.” Cummins felt that he tried everything that he could have.
