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

Maddinson is one of those cases where every chance he's had so far has been utterly unwarranted.

I hope he rots.

so true

meanwhile Callum Ferguson gets 1 game where he gets run out and that's it for him

 

[OverratedSanity]

The helmet rule is dumb

 

[vic_orthdox]

Ugh.

 

[morgieb]

Thankfully he's OK. That's gotta hurt (and why you wear a helmet at short leg)

The NSW factor.

But he also has shown a heap more potential to be a test player.

Can someone explain why there are so few spectators? Is it just regards to the state of the match? I can't imagine if England or SA were playing at the MCG. Unlikely to be a result, but Aus could theoretically make 600-650 if they bat out the rest of today which would make things interesting.

Can't say why there rest of Melbourne aren't there, but the weather here really sucks at the moment. For me, it's too hot, too muggy, too ****ed. I'm much happier at home watching from the pool..

No, else one can try and catch balls with helmets/buckets.

Changing late next year apparently

 

[Pratters]

Sohail Khan is so ****ing monotonous.

 

[TT Boy]

So if Pakistan had listened to Ian Healy and Ian Chappell and declared whilst under 300 on a road they would now be 150+ runs adrift with an innings defeat on the cards. Has either one mentioned that?

 

[OverratedSanity]

No, else one can try and catch balls with helmets/buckets.

Then make it so it's not out even if it hits someone's shin guard. The lack of consistency is silly.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Changing late next year apparently

Oh, that's good then.

 

[Spark]

dcye can start watching again.

probably won't be watching for long mind, given the inbound weather

 

[Pratters]

Both times I have dissed Sohail Khan on this thread he has got a wicket. Now that's just odd.

 

[Victor Ian]

Big rain just started falling - im about ten minutes cloud speed from melbourne

 

[Burgey]

TPC. Great stuff

 

[Pratters]

Tpc!

 

[Victor Ian]

[OverratedSanity]

The rate at which he gets tons is insane. 17 already.

 

[Victor Ian]
