Labuschagne runs himself out

2-91

That’s criminal on a pitch like this, very good direct hit though.

Booney will be devastated. I'm scared he will drink himself to oblivion now...

Just tuned in and what the f*** are they playing on.
That square is substandard at community cricket level much less a test match venue.
They do know its not a one dayer hey?

They were so concerned about the last pitch they only made the decision on which pitch to play on 2 days ago.

I accept that but come on serving that up just isn't good enough.
The vultures are hovering around the stadium looking for fast bowling corpses that might become available.
Its like a 90 over oneday game.

Odd one out I know but I love it
Great seeing variants and for me there is a bit of charm about the basic facilities

Khawaja is making the selectors' erstwhile fascination with Harris seem sillier by the day.

It's shit, clearly just waiting for Khawaja and/or Smith to have a brain fade and play a shit shot to get themselves out. Hopefully they can stay discipline.

Becoming a bit of a fan of Rizwan... having an absolute ball.
But also noticed his sense of fair play with a catch that didn't make it in the first test.

Was interesting to hear how much time both teams are spending with each other

Apparently same hotel, same bus to training and games and training at same time. Apparently it’s one of the strategies to avoid a terrorist attack, obviously there not going to want to harm their own Pakistani players

How's the commentary from Mike Haysman before the start of Afridi's first over of the second new ball, he said- 'It's only going to be runs or wickets at this time of the day'. No shit mate, it's cricket and it doesn't matter what time of the days it is there will always be runs or wickets. Lol.
