With the Australia batters being largely untroubled on Day 1, Waqar termed Pakistan's tactics as "ridiculous", saying that the game is already heading towards another stalemate ahead of the final Test in Lahore.

Chances to make Test centuries don’t come around very often. Excellent careers might include five or 10. Each innings starts from nothing and gradually climbs across hours, with every rung gained being the one that might break.
