Adelaide
Seam bowler Mohammad Abbas blamed the unhelpful Adelaide wicket for his and his fellow Pakistan bowlers’ toils against Australia on the opening day of the second Test against Australia on Friday.
Pakistan, after being invited to field first, found an early breakthrough but did not find another for the rest of the day as David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne both piled up centuries to help Australia finish with 302-1 at stumps.
Abbas, who had picked up 17 wickets in just two matches in a home series against Australia last year, went wicket-less.—Agencies
