Mitch Marsh batting well

[RustyCage]

Wicket second ball after tea. Reviewing it. Looks comfortably out. Nope, pitched outside leg!

[Jim05]

Pakis batting again.
Interesting first over
Shezhad 14 off the first 5 balls including a six and then out off the last ball

[DOC]

Mitch with a second.

How many will they set us? 450?

The one piece of commentary that 'annoyed' me

OVER 1 PAKISTAN 2ND DIG
Johnson was smashed
4-0-0-4-6
14 runs off the first 5 balls of the innings by Shehzad
The last ball of the over Johnson bowled Shehzad for 14
Johnson made an impression to celebrate the wicket


Then a commentator had something like this to say about Johnson
" You can carry on all you want , but the fact is your team is 300+ runs behind."

Utterly crappppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp comment
This was a personal victory of an opening bowler over an opening batsman
Johnson is one of the few Australian players to have a good series
Not his fault the team is getting walloped this series

[bennymacca]

Yeah that paki commentator isn't bad but he is definitely revelling in the fact Australia are getting pumped. Mentioned bruised egos several times.

The dean jones pitch report was the best. Apparently this pitch was "overcooked" and is going to break up by day 3. Haha

Have to disagree Mal, the commentator was right.
Pretty sure everyone on here was saying the same sorts of things about Jimmy Anderson last year when England were in a similar position and he was carrying on

[RustyCage]

Commentator is 100% spot on. When you're getting flogged isn't the time to get in people's faces when you get them out. It's like excessively celebrating a goal when your team is 15 goals down, you just end up looking a little silly

[locky801]

Finally got Younis Khan out in double figures, guy has had a picnic this series, all class
