I Couldn’t Find My Rhythm – Aamir Jamal
“In my first spell, I couldn’t find my rhythm. In my second spell, I felt better. Later, I spoke to the captain and wanted another spell. We planned for both of them (Warner & Head) with short balls, and that helped us succeed. Head was playing the cut shot well so it was our plan to have the (catching) fielder outside the circle. He was playing the shot even if it wasn’t that short, so that’s how we got him out.” Jamal said after the day in the post-match presser.
The ongoing three-match Test series between the two teams is part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25. Pakistan is currently leading the WTC standings with a 100% winning record, while Australia is in fifth place in the table with 18 points in their tally.
