I really don't mind Dean Jones.

The only scenario where this is true is when he's fangirling over SC players Otherwise, no.

Gee this is a superb innings from Shehzad.

 

[Gnske]

Shehzad should have been polite and told us to be ready for the fire before this innings.

Not to rain on their parade, but shouldn't these guys be trying to scoring at 5 rpo from now on?

Yes, but they'll still have plenty of time. I mean they took 10 wickets yesterday.

 

[OverratedSanity]

OMG that lofted cover drive by Younis off Mitch !

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Lovely way to bring up a ton, gorgeous shot.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Charge is on it would seem.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is awesome.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Brilliant innings

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Some stat that about Shehzad being first Pakistan opener to hit 4 6's in a test innings. You would have presumed Saeed Anwar would have in one of his marathon knocks.

 

[Spikey]

what do peter siddle and KP have in common?

their test careers are done

 

[Spikey]

Bet Siddle comes to England next year, may not play but will be in the squad.

From an AUS bowler standpoint, this is one of those games where if you didn't make the XI, your stocks rise out of all proportion to your actual ability

Where for example Hilf is suddenly Alderman 1989

Starc is Bruce Reid

And Maxwell is Murali

**** where did you find that? Best yet.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Misbah should declare now.

 

[harsh.ag]

Found this comment on cricinfo

Talal Dar: "Sarfraz has pads on but I hope Misbah does not send Sarfraz Ahmed if a wickets falls now. Sarfraz has scored fifties in last 5 innings and he has a chance to break the all time record of scoring 7 fifties in a row. Not enough time for him to score fifty if he comes on to bat now."

I don't get the kind of thought process at play here.

 

[Howe_zat]

Declaring now wouldn't actually save any time because it isn't going to take 4 full sessions to get 380 runs. Early declarations just mean that you have to bowl them out before they get the runs, not before the end of the game, rendering the declaration pointless. I agree we 're at least nearing the boundary and it shouldn't be much more than another 10 overs, but please can we have less from the get on with it brigade , thanks

Nah

The selection of Siddle was, at best, ill advised but Lyon has been the big disappointment

Other guys have performed as per expectations in unfamiliar conditions
