Get ready for a cricketing bonanza down under as Australia take on Pakistan at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground in a battle that promises a pure cricketing drama in the Benaud-Qadir Trophy’s 2nd Test.

The local boy of Perth, 'The Bison' Mitchell Marsh, rightfully earned the Player of the Match honours for his valuable contributions of 90 and 63 with the bat in both innings with Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith getting in the grooves too.
