Security and sounds the abiding memories of docile Islamabad draw
As far as the cricket goes, you can probably gather all you need to know from the fact that it was the first Test in history with a century opening partnership for three innings in a row. Or from the fact that Australia never got close to batting a second time. In the end Pakistan made 728 runs for the loss of four wickets in the match.

Marnus Labuschagne's Epic Replies To Pakistani Fans' Innovative Placards In Rawalpindi. See Pics
From being the world's first concussion substitute in cricket to becoming one of the world's best Test batters, Marnus Labuschagne has come a long way. A journey that has made the cricketer blossom in his own way. Whenever a cricket fan comes across Marnus' name now, the images that flash right in front of the eyes are those of funny ways in which he lets go of the ball outside the off-stump, or his extremely loud and clear calls to the non-striker asking him to stay put inside his crease.
