They're calling it stumps at half an hour beyond the scheduled
cessation - even though they've only bowled 86 of the usual 90
overs
Despite all the early set backs, Australia have taken the honours
on the first day of the series
After being sent into bat Australia would be more than happy with
the 356 runs they've compiled at the end of the day
The highlight of course was another wonderful century from Justin
Langer
He showed determination to hang around in the early part of the day
with wickets falling at the other end
And he's come into own with some dazzling stroke play in the final
two sessions

That completes the day's play with Australia comprehensively on top
of this match
The last session defiance of Sami and Shoaib did interupt the home
side's momentum for a while
But it was only through the choice of Australian captain Ricky
Ponting to bat again that Pakistan aren't following on
It certainly seems that the Australians preferred way of winning is
to bowl last with a mountain of runs on their side
And with the amount of time left in this Test, it's probable that
Pakistan will be chasing a total as high as 500
That is, unless the visitors can produce a spirited bowling
performance tomorrow

Game over
Australia has crushed Pakistan by 491 runs to win inside four days
and take a 1-0 lead in this series
The statistical highlights being Langer's 191 & 97 and McGrath's 8
for 24
A match with few highlights for the visitors
Although they certainly got off on the right foot by winning the
toss and having Australia were 78 for 5 shortly after lunch on day
one
But the match turned once Langer and Gilchrist got set and
Australia never looked back
The real disappointment for the Pakistanis has been their batting
Whilst Australia bowled with their usual relentless accuracy, the
Pakistani batsmen have been their own worst enemy with their soft
shot selection
The visitors will have to do some real soul searching if they're to
rebound with any effect in this series
