Cricket, 12:47, December 27, 2009 ,

Nathan Hauritz was the star man for Australia on the second day of the first Test with Pakistan struggling to avoid the follow-on.

Hauritz knocked an impressive 75 runs in his role as nightwatchman, while Michael Hussey (82) also helped Australia rack up 454-5 before declaring.
The tourists were then restricted to 109-4 in Melbourne, with Hauritz among the wickets.
Hauritz said: "I was happy just to get through the night,
"I did my job and early on this morning and I was pretty happy to just last that first half an hour I think but it was good, I really enjoyed it, it was good batting with Huss.
"The wicket's still very good, it's only day two obviously. I think it's just a matter of being extremely disciplined in our areas and probably getting that last wicket.
"We had a pretty good day in the end there but they've still got some very good batting to come."
