KARACHI, Pakistan : Beginning a tour of the sub-continent with a draw is a result perfectly acceptable to most visiting captains but Australia skipper Pat Cummins knows the task gets significantly tougher for his team in the second test against Pakistan on Saturday.
Run-out at non-striker's end remains a "spirit of cricket issue" for Australian opener David Warner despite the MCC amending its code to remove it from "unfair play" laws even though he believes that batters are the ones solely at "fault" if such a dismissal is effected. Custodians of cricket laws, the Marylebone Cricket Club on re-classified the controversial runout, from law 41's 'unfair play' and incorporated it within law 38 pertaining to legitimate run outs. It's one of the nine changes that the MCC made to its code, which is set to come into effect from October this year.
Australian opener David Warner plans to attend the state funeral of his childhood idol Shane Warne later this month, but he says it will take time to get used to the legendary bowler's passing.

Australian opener David Warner plans to attend the state funeral of his childhood idol Shane Warne later this month, but he says it will take time to get used to the legendary bowler's passing. Warne died following a heart attack while holidaying in Thailand last week, and his death has shaken the Australian team, who are currently touring Pakistan. "It still hasn't really sunk in," said Warner ahead of the second Test starting in Karachi from Saturday.
David Warner is hoping to race home from the Test series in Pakistan to pay tribute to Shane Warne at the spin bowling great's memorial service in Melbourne. Warne died from a suspected heart attack last Friday at the age of 52 while on holiday on the Thailand island of Koh Samui. He will be buried at a private family funeral and a state memorial service will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on the evening of March 30.
Australia opener David Warner said he hopes for an improved pitch for the second Test in Karachi after the visitors could claim only four Pakistan wickets in the series-opening draw on Rawalpindi's docile wicket. “I just want a game where you can actually create 20 chances,” Warner said on Thursday. “It's something that's going to be exciting and entertaining for the crowd.” Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja has acknowledged that drawn games are not a good advertisement for Test cricket and Pindi Cricket Stadium's wicket was described by Australia batter and vice captain Steve Smith as a “dead wicket.”
