***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

Maddo with a very convincing start in his first couple of tests.

certainly batting his average thus far

 

[Tangles]

Seems the plan to TPC needs to be bowling really wide filth and let him slash at it until someone in the team manages to catch one.

It's not the worst plan if the filth is on the same side of the wicket on the same length.

Hehe your attempts at condescension are really cute. What does science mean?

I can't decipher your posts at all lately

I just keep finding myself bemused because I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say

Yasir's gonna be a cult hero by the end of this tour to all Australians. really missing a chance by not playing Sharjeel over Sami Aslam, even if he only made a couple of starts here and there, a few of his pull shots would do plenty to endear himself to the Australian public. i dream of his knock against Ireland every night

 

[Burgey]

It's just crazy, isn't it? The number of dropped catches on every tour they've had here since I've been watching cricket is almost beyond measure.

 

[Starfighter]

Give Maddinson a googly.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Not sure Maddinson would even make an Australia A XI tbh, seems very random that he was the guy they went for in Adelaide

 

[ajdude]

And that shot of poor old Steve Rixon too, and he's probably the best known fielding coach outside Jonty going around

the greatest meme of 2010-2013 Australia is when former wicketkeeper Steve Rixon was our spin bowling coach

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Maddinson off the mark...

 

[Starfighter]

Now to see if Maddinson can pass his highest test score.

He's done it. What an achievement.

He fits in with Boof's 'intent' creedo because apparently he can 'break the game open'. Shame he isn't scoring runs like, say, Patterson.

 

[ajdude]

whoooa 3734 runs at an average of 37.34. mind. blown.

 

[Daemon]

Handscomb's average is now double of Voges.

This.

the worst part is that the fielding has probably regressed

 

[Gnske]

Bravo Mark Waugh, really a once in a generation pick.

 

[Spark]

Good selection, this. At least his average is going up.

 

[Coronis]

Another collapse?

Yeah, because somebody commenting how cringe-worthy Nicholas' is in the channel 9 comm box means they mustn't understand that channel 9 tends to be pro-Australia.

I can now see how you'd have difficulty making the distinction between the two things, even if nobody else confused them.

 

[morgieb]

I guess Maddinson is the new Mitch Marsh then. When can we finally pick a proper #6?

 

[Starfighter]

Test average of 0.5 now. Really looked way out of his depth.
