We're fecked and against one of the most ordinary looking bowling lineups that you'll come across

**** knows how we'll go in AD as that pitch will suit the Pakistanis

Abandon tour ala Windies

Said it before; death by spin.

Not buying this "it's an ordinary attack" rubbish. It's an inexperienced attack with no superstars yet, but they've all got FC averages of 20-25 and they certainly haven't looked ordinary thus far. No names doesn't equal crap

One thing I'll give Jones credit is that he's pretty good at stating simple cricketing facts ie "once the ball is lodged in the pad it becomes dead". I like that in a commentator

Lol, still so **** at playing spin. Putrid.

tbf most of the dismissals barely spun.

Babar bowled some good stuff in one of the tests against South Africa and it was clear the that he was good. Pakistan being lol the dropped him for the next series after one ordinary match.

If anything this shows how crap O'Keefe and Lyon were. It's definitely been awesome bowling from the Pakistanis and we didn't see anywhere near this sort of purchase for the Aussies.

Burgey and dermo should keep wahhhing about slow pitches.

I'm unsure whether this is a compliment or a grave insult, confusing Spikey and I.

**** at playing spin doesn't necessarily require them to get out to spinning deliveries. The ability to read and play a straighter ball after seeing 3-4 spinning ones is what playing spin is all about. You ****s are terrible at it.

So much this.

Can't imagine what was going through Doolan's head during his dismissal.

"Oh dear I can't pick anything, better play right back on my stumps since this pitch is bouncing so ridiculously much!"

 

[Jono]

Don't lose to a team as dumb **** as Pakistan without Ajmal ffs.

Well they best get used to them as they will see another 5 in England next year.

Almost as bad as the Ian Bell way of running down the pitch and trying to hit it over the top.

South Africa are basically the only decent travelling side in world cricket aren't they?

Might be tempted to include the Lankans for now.
