So a superb performance by Australia to a 2-0 lead. While Pakistan made their way back from the Watson storm at the top of the Aussie innings, there was no way back after Bollinger and Siddle blew them away with their pace and bounce. It was indeed a joy to watch them bowl consistently in the high 140s - Siddle hit 150.5 ks too, and getting both disconcerting movement and bounce. Long way back for Pakistan in this series. It was fun calling this game, it's Sidharth Monga here saying good bye. We will be there to bring you the next game - on Australia Day. Okay bye.
