Warner and Labuschagne lead Australia to an eight wicket win and series sweep – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor)   Australia showed no mercy as David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne crushed Pakistan racing to victory chasing a mediocre 130 for a clean sweep of the three Test series. Warner, in his last Test in the Baggy Green, was at his flamboyant best producing a wide array of strokeplay he is renowned for, leaving lasting memories of arguably the best opening batsman Australia has ever produced in all formats. His departure from the red ball game leaves a void that is hard to fill and it will undoubtedly take considerable time to produce an opener with the same consistency and and flair. Australia won the series on the back of Cummins superb efforts with the ball which fittingly gave him the man-of-the-series as he led his team remarkably ...

Pakistan show defiance as Aussie bowlers toil. – BY TREVINE RODRIGO IN MELBOURNE. (eLanka Sports editor) Pakistan bounced back defiantly chasing a colossal Australian target, but the game still leans in Australia’s favour as it goes into day thre and a tense battle to decide which way the cards fall. Much against all expectations, the Pakistanis fought back to keep Australia under 500, then they implemented an unexpected strategy of restraint and controlled approach to chase a mountainous task ahead, and right now seem intent on taking it up to the Aussies. Pakistan debutante Aaner Jamal marked his entry to the big time with a memorable performance with the ball. The new fast man in the squad bowled brilliantly to grab 6 for 111 and was primarily responsible for restricting Australia from a mammoth total. The bouncy Perth wicket appeared to suggest Australian dominance against a team that has had ...
