*Official* Pakistan v Australia in UAE 2014

If you're getting uncertain about one dodgy ball every hour, though...
3-4 wickets from deck strangeness and 2-3 thrown away and that is enough to be in deep trouble 5 hours in. This gives you like 7/250ish which is a problem when Pakistan look like getting 400 minimum.

We're not talking amazing magic balls though. We're literally talking about the sum total of all the deliveries which have moved off the straight.

You really, really should not be losing a wicket every single time the ball moves off the straight. This pitch will take turn later but until it does there is no excuse for this lot to not put up a decent score.

we haven't had a lot of luck today but **** we've been poor in the field
Yeah this has been by far the most disappointing thing. Just really sloppy on top of the half chances that at the start of the year would be swallowed.

i'm as big a fan of rad haddin as the next guy but this is by far the worst day he's had in the field since returning to the test team

yeah he's been way way off. not even like the catches just haven't stuck, he's barely got a glove to them.
