So it's official, Misbah = Viv Richards.

lolStralia...

Equal record fastest tonne against them, against a 40 yr old guy known for resolute defense.

angry clarke

 

[uvelocity]

difference between aussies and poms - we dont bowl deliberate wides to spoil a blokes day.

top knock misbah

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Give him a clap Michael. Manners, mate, manners,

 

[Spark]

yeah great stuff azhar but really no one cares

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Get in, well done both.

 

[Spikey]

i think morrison has forgot that Misbah also hit a 100 in the first innings

 

[ajdude]

morrison doesn't even realise misbah's made two tons in the match

**** they're a likable team pakistan, feels strange saying that

Lyon is more of a stock bowler rather than a wicket taker. In an attack, you want a combination of stock and strike bowlers. It is easy to see Lyon as terrible right now on this pitch which is terribly slow. However, it shouldn't be forgotten that Australia has had some terrible spinners since Warne retired.

You need some bowler who can bowl without leaking runs and letting away the pressure when you want to give one of the faster bowlers a bit of a rest. Lyon does that job well, particularly in Australia. This Indian line up isn't as strong as it used to be against spin (cue Moeen Ali). I would keep Lyon in the side at home, tbh.

well played azhar

 

[Blocky]

Australia only ever believe in good sportsmanship when they're in the ascendancy. When they're losing, they're a bunch of petulant little ****s.

 

[viriya]

wow.. who would've predicted this at the beginning of this series with no ajmal.. total annihilation.

 

[Teja.]

It's awesome Pakistan has two guys like Younis and Misbah who both average 50, are the nicest guys in the world and always come through when needed.

 

[Spikey]

(in fact iirc morrison was actually calling when misbah got there, and did not notice untill well after the moment(

yeah this is all well and good but we're talking about the australian selectors here

 

[irfan]

Misbah beats Azhar to a century when Azhar was on 66 when he came in.

Surely that must be a record?

 

[Gnske]

At least this can't get any worse.

 

[DriveClub]

I think CA should ban becoming vegans to avoid this embarrasment

 

[Fuller Pilch]

The Wallabies, easily. They're **** all the time, home and away, full strength or injury hit. Lowest (barely) mainstream national team Australia puts on the park.

Yeah, but really pushed the ABs in the two tests in Oz this year - played quite well
