Australia vs Pakistan 2016: 1st Test, day 1 - 5 talking points

#1 Peter Handscomb nails down his spot

Handscomb continued from where he left off against South Africa

Handscomb is widely believed to be the best batsman under lights in the Sheffield Shield. Boasting of an average above 60 in day-night games, the lean batsman had hit a convincing half century against the Proteas on debut.

He walked in with the team at 151/3 having lost Matt Renshaw. Handscomb wasted no time in getting into his groove as he stepped out and handled Yasir Shah with ease. With a tendency to stay on the back foot, Pakistan barely tested him with full balls allowing him to play easily square of the wicket.

He is also believed to be one of the better players of spin in the Australian side and proved as much today in the way he played Yasir Shah. Getting to the pitch of the ball and playing with the turn, Handscomb's batting was a sight to behold for perfectionists.
