Pakistan/Australia series

[whufc]

The impact of warnie dying shouldn't be underestimated.

Having said that, is this good for test cricket 2/370?
Bowlers graveyard I'm thinking.

Will break up to a piece of shit in a day or so and become unplayable.

We get might day 3 with the pitch ok, so our first innings is going to decide the game.

Can’t help we lost the toss which was so crucial, would take the draw and move on to the next test and hope for better luck lol

Interesting spot for Pakistan, they need to come out after tea and go hard and relay slap it around.

394 after 5 seasons isn't setting the world on fire. If and a big if the Aussies come out and bat well on there first dig, then this could all be a flop.

Ideally they would want to smash there way to 500 and have 30mins at the Aussies tonight.

Yep if we can bowl tight enough to hold of the declaration tonight it will be a massive win.

Best hope for us to win is time in the game forces a generous second innings declaration from Pakistan.

Great run out by Labuschagne

3/414

[tigerpie]

Warner moving like a shot gazelle.
Reckon he's done a groin.

[whufc]

And another drop to Carey……..the only chance his had so far.

Missed opportunity to get quick back to back wickets for the first time.

Honestly it doesn’t matter and it’s clear their minds have changed. If we don’t bat for 2 days we’re cooked.

[tigerpie]

Green getting some wicked late reverse.

[whufc]

Labuschagne now gets a wicket from a reverse sweep

4/442

Not a bad little spell from us here to delay the declaration

That’s ridiculous to say it doesn’t matter.

Pakistan declare 4/476

We have done well I reckon to make them declare for less than would have liked to in a perfect world

Going to have over ten overs at us. Need to be zero down one at most

[whufc]

A bunch of controversy at the end

We go out and bat…..umpires say light is bad so spinners must bowl

Spinner bowls one over 0/5 and then the umps say the light is to bad to play so they go off for what looks to be stumps

Not a bad day for us really.

Bad light stopped play
I think its almost time to use a pink ball in Test cricket, put the stadium lights on if necessary , and play on

Good
Just need a pink ball

[amber_fluid]

The Aussies are flat track bullies at home and struggle away.
Most countries do but our gap is by far the biggest I’d say

England say hi.

Would've been nice to have a couple of tour matches though.

England struggle away from home for sure but I wouldn’t call them world beaters at home.

I like it, worth a try, or what would be wrong with changing to pink when we need to get the last 10 overs or so in. Time to put the people who pay the money to watch 1st for a change. The cricketers can stay out there for 90 overs no matter how long it takes, rain then becoming the only reason they cant play.

Would they get a pink ball of the same age as the red ball. Given there hasn’t been much pink ball cricket is there enough pinks balls of various ages available.

Aus 0/49

Warner dropped from an absolute dolly at gully

Pakistan have bowled much better than us, a lot more aggressive and with serious intent

Just watching Sajid Khan bowling.

That is one different and unique bowling action. 0/65 17 gone
