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

[Burgey]

NZ would lose in a hand canter in this situation. But Williamson would look real pretty making 18 in doing so, so that apparently gets you extra points.

Wouldn't put it beyond Australia to lose either.

 

[morgieb]

Didn't England lose in a similar situation like....two weeks ago?

 

[Johnners]

At least Starc is being kind enough to hit it in the general direction of one of the 13 fans there today.

Yup. Quick 200 from Starc here and I'd say Pakistan will have endured a bigger humiliation than us, though.

 

[smash84]

this could get tricky for pak if Aus are 200 ahead after the first session and they put pak in to bat

Nah England had to face a whole day's play (in fact, they started batting on day 4). Completely different. Being bowled out in 3 sessions is very different to 2 sessions.

 

[Burgey]

Especially on this deck.

Smitteh just on fire here.

 

[Compton]

Sohail's first ball of each spell is consistently garbage.

 

[Johnners]

Warne/Waqar is definitely one of the better duo's we've had in the comm box.

 

[Jono]

When Warne isn't with his cronies he talks more sense. Even if you disagree with what he's saying he's not saying it in a dickhead manner.

 

[Johnners]

Ffs as soon as I say that he starts on a food rant

 

[Johnners]

Surprised at the lack of Saqlain on that list, from memory he had a relatively ok record in Australia.

14 wickets @ 34

Makes you remember just how good Kumble became late in his career. 49 wickets @ 37.73 over 10 tests is a good record on Australian pitches compared to most on that list.

I actually thought it was better than that. Must have been dire in 1999/2000.

 

[GotSpin]

Starc loves that straight drive miss

 

[Johnners]

5 wickets @ 90. Ponting slayed him.

Increased his average by 5 runs in that series, wag.

 

[Burgey]

Spot of bbl fielding there

 

[Johnners]

Sign him up for the Thunder!

 

[morgieb]

This is probably the minimum I'd declare at, though maybe batting aggressively for a 200 run lead is a better strategy.
