‘Haris Rauf ka career kha jaayega ye’ – Fans react Aamer Jamal takes fifer in his debut Test match against Australia
The first test of the 3-match Test series between Australia and Pakistan is being played at the Perth Stadium in Perth. Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat first and the decision proved right as the Kangaroos scored 487 runs in the first innings with the help of a brilliant inning of 164 runs from David Warner who is playing his farewell Test series.
Pakistani bowlers were clueless throughout the innings, however, there was one bowler Aamer Jamal, who was making his Test debut, who impressed a lot of fans and former cricketers with his brilliant bowling display. Jamal picked up a fifer in his debut Test match and became the 14th Pakistani player to achieve this feat. Fans reacted and congratulated Jamal for achieving the wonderful milestone.
Before Jamal, Arif Butt, Mohammad Nazir, Shahid Nazir, Mohammad Zahid, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Sami, Shabbir Ahmed, Yasir Arafat, Wahab Riaz, Tanvir Ahmed, Bilal Asif, Nauman Ali and Abrar Ahmed had also taken a fifer on their Test debuts. However, Jamal is the only Pakistani bowler after Arif Butt to achieve this feat on the Australian soil.
Brilliant comeback by Pakistani bowlers on Day 2
Jamal troubled the Australian batters consistently throughout the innings and ended up picking 6 wickets while conceding 111 runs in 20.2 overs. Jamal is 27 years old and it would be interesting to see him in the upcoming matches as it seems like the speedster has brilliant skills with wonderful speed as well.
Talking about the match, Australia scored 346 runs after losing 5 wickets on Day 1. Warner was the star of the innings as he smashed his 26th Test century. Coming to Day 2, Pakistani bowlers displayed a better bowling performance than Day 1 and wrapped the Kangaroos on the score of 487 runs. Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq are currently at the crease and Pakistan are 24 without any loss at the time of writing.
Here’s how fans reacted:
