The conclusion of the third Test in Pakistan‘s tour to Australia not only brought an end to the match but also marked the poignant farewell of David Warner from Test cricket. Having been an integral part of the Australian team for nearly a decade, Warner’s left-handed prowess and exceptional skills have left an indelible mark on the cricketing world.

Pakistan’s token of respect to David Warner

Following the SCG clash in which Australia registered a stellar eight-wicket victory and triumphed the series with a clean sweep (3-0), Pakistan’s captain Shan Masood presented Warner with a jersey belonging to the prolific Babar Azam as a gesture of respect and admiration. Notably, the jersey was signed by the members of Pakistan’s squad. This symbolic exchange highlighted the camaraderie among players and underscored the profound impact Warner has had on the global cricketing fraternity.

David Warner’s illustrious test career

Warner’s Test career is a testament to his remarkable prowess as a top-order batter. Amassing a total of 8786 runs in 205 innings, his consistency and ability to convert starts into substantial scores have been instrumental for the Australian cricket team. With an impressive tally of 26 centuries, the latter has etched his name among the elite run-scorers in the longest format of the game. Among his many notable innings, Warner’s unforgettable knock of 335 not out against Pakistan in 2019 will be etched in the annals of cricket history.

Australia marks a comfortable win at SCG

Starting from where they left off on Day 3, the Aussie bowling attack did not waste much time on Day 4 and eventually bundled up their guests on a mere score of 115. It was Warner (57) who then took charge with the willow alongside Marnus Labuschagne (62) to seal a memorable victory for the hosts.

Australia unleashed a dazzling display of cricketing brilliance at the Sydney Cricket Ground, turning the tide against Pakistan in the ongoing third Test. Despite a slightly shaky performance with the bat, the spotlight shifted to the formidable bowling prowess of Josh Hazlewood. The right-arm seamer’s phenomenal spell of 5-2-9-4, coupled with the rarity of a triple maiden over, left cricket enthusiasts in awe. This extraordinary performance showcased Hazlewood’s out-of-the-box skills and dealt a severe blow to Pakistan’s aspirations of a consolatory win in the final match of the captivating three-game series.

Josh Hazlewood’s triple wicket maiden over

The spectacle unfolded when Hazlewood took charge of the second-to-last over of Day 3, delivering a cricketing masterpiece. The first victim was Saud Shakeel, who succumbed to a perfectly pitched fuller delivery outside off. Attempting to drive, the left-hander edged the ball, resulting in a seamless catch by Steve Smith at first slip. Hazlewood’s third delivery showcased sheer brilliance, as a seaming good-length delivery dismantled Sajid Khan‘s stumps, leaving the right-hander with no chance.

The third and final scalp of the remarkable over featured Agha Salman, who, attempting a drive to a good-length ball that was channelling off, edged it straight to the second slip, where David Warner showcased impeccable reflexes by grabb?ing the red leather.

The scene transpired when Sajid delivered a drifting ball that found its mark on a perfect length, landing on the stumps with precision. Carey confidently took a stride forward in an attempt to defend the delivery, only to be deceived by the subtle turn, narrowly missing the inside edge. The red leather then grazed the jumper of the left-handed batter, dislodging the bails in a fleeting? moment of cricketing poetry. Carey was forced to depart with 38 runs to his name, marking a significant breakthrough for the guests.

A riveting incident unfolded during the third and final Test clash between Australia and Pakistan at Sydney Cricket Ground, involving Pakistan skipper Shan Masood‘s dismissal by Mitchell Marsh. Cricket fanatics noticed a potential error in the no-ball check process for the for the wicket, raising eyebrows at what seemed like the left-handed batter being at the striker and non-striker’s end at the same time.

How things unfolded and what exactly happened

It all began during the 26th over of Pakistan’s innings when Marsh seemingly dismissed Masood, only for the delivery to be declared a no-ball due to the 32-year-old’s overstepping. The plot thickened in the 30th over as Marsh again secured Masood’s wicket, with Steve Smith making the catch at second slip.

However, a potential discrepancy in the no-ball verification process caught the attention of cricket enthusiasts, who questioned the seeming presence of Masood in two places at once. While dissecting a side-on-angle replay, in which Marsh’s foot was safely behind the line, the fans noticed a intriguing blunder. The footage for the no-ball check actually displayed a different delivery than the one on which Masood got out.

🚨 Wrong replay to check no-ball on @shani_official’s dismissal off Mitchell Marsh. Shan is on strike and non-striker’s end at the same time😂😂

Pakistan got bundled out on the score of 313 in their first innings, and the second day’s play was curtailed by rain, bringing an early conclusion to the proceedings. Currently standing at a score of 116/2, the hosts lost their top-order pair, David Warner and Usman Khawaja, who contributed 34 and 47 runs, respectively. Nonetheless, the unbeaten duo of Marnus Labuschagne (23) and Steve Smith (6) are holding the ground, aiming to establ?ish a str??ong foundation when play resumes on day four.

In the ongoing third Test match of Pakistan’s tour to Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground, Saim Ayub found himself under scrutiny for a pivotal moment that unfolded during his maiden Test appearance. The spotlight intensified when Ayub, stationed at first slip, failed to secure a straightforward catch off the bat of David Warner. These ??instances serve as poignant reminders of the razor-thin ma??rgins that can define cricket matches, where a single missed catch holds the potential to sway the course of the game.

Saim Ayub drops a sitter; lifeline to David Warner

Pakistan seemingly engineered an opportunity to dismiss Warner when Aamer Jamal induced the left-hander’s outside edge. Warner, batting at 20 runs, attempted to play the delivery with a straight bat as the ball pitched on a good length. However, the much-anticipated breakthrough turned into a moment of frustration for the guests as Ayub, fielding at first slip, failed to capitalize on the chance.

Despite the red leather being at a comfortable height for Ayub to secure the catch, it slipped through his fingers. The dropped catch left Babar Azam, positioned at second slip, visibl?y disheartened, brought down to his knees in despair as the golden opportunity unfolded right in front of him. The sequence of events exemplified the delicate nature of slip fielding and the fine margins of catch grabbing.

Despite a challenging start on the first day of the third Test at Sydney on Wednesday (January 3), Pakistan managed to post a total of 313 runs in their first innings. Pat Cummins played a pivotal role in early setbacks for Pakistan, capitalizing on their struggles in the first two sessions of the opening day. However, resilient performances from wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan (88) and Aamer Jamal (82) allowed the visitors to mount a comeback, in spite of Cummins achieving his consecutive third five-fer in as many innings. As for Australia, they closed the day at 6/0 with only one over bowled.

Mohammad Rizwan’s flourish and Pat Cummins’ dominance

Earlier, facing the formidable Australian pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins, Pakistan’s top order struggled, losing both openers for ducks. Cummins wreaked havoc, dismissing Babar Azam (26) with a fiery inswinger and quickly removing Saud Shakeel (5).

Nevertheless, Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha (53) showcased resilience, counter-attacking the Australian bowlers to construct a vital 94-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Rizwan, in pa??rticular, displayed fluent strokes but fell victim to Cummins, missing out on a well-deserved century. Cummins, continuing his impressive form, seemed poised for another five-wicket haul as he dismantled the lower order.

Aamer Jamal and Mir Hamza’s remarkable last-wicket stand

Yet, the unexpected resilience of the last-wicket duo, Jamal and Mir Hamza, surpassed all expectations. Jamal’s essential boundaries and Hamza’s unwavering defensive prowess became apparent. The last -wicket partnership created frustration among the Australian bowlers, accentuated by a couple of dropped catches off Jamal. The tenacious partnership concluded when Jamal was caught in the deep off Nathan Lyon after contributing 82 runs.

Regardless of  the challenges, Pakistan’s determined effort resulted in a competitive total on the scoreboard. Australia’s openers encountered only one challenging over before play was halted for the day.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

Brilliant fightback by Pakistan! Aamer Jamal and Rizwan both were simply sensational. Also a handy Knock from Salman 👏🏻#AUSvPAK

Finally the last wicket falls. Lyon gets it. Horrifically bad 90 minutes for the Aussies. That’s potentially cost them the match. Need to get those runs back and can’t chew up time. #ausvpak

While the pitch appears to be a belter, the scoreboard doesn't tell the whole story, especially against Australia's batting and without Shaheen leading the attack. The top order falter remains a frustrating mystery.#AUSvPAK#PAKvAUS
