Perth Day 1: A great day of Test Cricket

Wow! The first day of the first test in the series down under between Australia and Pakistan, sure lived up to its billing. We had an explosive bowling performance by Pakistan in the morning, followed by a cavalier Australian fightback in the afternoon and an even battle to end the day in the evening. This was test cricket at its best - attacking cricket by both sides with the bat and ball dominating for equal measure.

However, I am not sure if the battle will be so balanced when its Pakistan's turn to bat. I just get the feeling that Australia has done enough with the bat to put the pressure back on Pakistan.
