Although Australian seamers managed to bowl Pakistan out for 148 in the first innings of the second Test in Karachi after posting 500-plus in their first innings, the hosts bated for 171.4 overs in the fourth innings to walk away with a draw. Amid all the discussion around how pitches in Pakistan have so far made matters difficult for the bowlers, former Pakistan spinners Saeed Ajmal shared a slightly different opinion.
