I hope one day in the not-so-distant-future Pakistan can play on their home turf again.

yeah man.....so do I

****ing hot today and really humid

Was at the ground to watch the first innings and left after 30 odd overs because it was too hot

Got home and all of the windows are fogged up as the aircon is set to 20 and it's still high 30s/massively humid outside

Not like its unusual for this time of year either

yeah....awta.....it is that time of the year again......

The scheduling of this series is ****. These conditions are not proper cricket conditions. It's unfair on the players. It's about a billion degrees and the outfield is soaking wet, and they finish the game at like 3am.

They have to.....otherwise they won't be able to play in the heat if they start earlier

You do realise that's my point, right?

Nasir is a good find for us in the limited overs game.

If this Nasir guy keeps smashing hundreds we're gonna have to use his name as a verb.

Gotta question the rationale behind batting first in these conditions. Possibly the only thing is that it's hotter first up?

Gotta bowl first with the dew coming in later making the ball harder to grip and the pitch slickening up.

Haha and as I start to post this Tony starts talking about, wac.

I know this is only his 18th match, but the lad's got a SR of 98+ throughout, and at a decent average to boot. Good stuff.

I keep my strawberry preserves in my jamshed.

Top innings from the lad.

Getting towelled up by a **** who works for Cottees. fmd.

 

[nightprowler10]

Gah!!

 

[benchmark00]

Brave innings. **** would be weighing considerably less after that dig.

 

[Stapel]

yeah man.....so do I

How are things in Pakistan anyway?

Is there any chance a country will tour Pakistan anytime soon?

 

[nightprowler10]

Top drive to bring up the 50.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

The Australian bowlers are thinking that it might have been a mistake to get Nasir out now that Azhar and Misbah are teaching them the art of tuk.

 

[Spikey]

sack dussey. bowl smith. kill the batman

 

[Fusion]

Is there any chance a country will tour Pakistan anytime soon?

Unfortunately no. Minimum 5 years. Realistically 10 years.

Early reports coming out of the desert that Starc won't be playing today...

Hello all and welcome to the coverage of the final ODI of the three-match ODI series between Pakistan and Australia. When it is Sharjah at this time of the year, you keep an eye on the temperatures. Robin Jackman, reckons that it is 45 or 46 degrees out in the middle. With a mild breeze blowing, it might reduce to early forties
