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

[Bijed]

Nice change of pace from Azhar, unbelievable that it went for runs

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez Smith averaging in the 60s & that after starting his career as a bowling allrounder IIRC

Awaits threads about whether he might go on the be Australia's 2nd greatest bat ahead of Ponting and Chappell...

 

[Johnners]

Hahahaha Sohail is just trash in his first over of a spell.

wtf was that.

 

[Jono]

Australia should get 200. It makes sure they won't have to bat again, and can bowl with attacking fields for the rest of the day. Similar to what Kohli did vs. England

 

[Bijed]

Was just checking Starc's stats to see how many 50's he's got, and apparently out of his 50 innings played 10 of them have been ducks

 

[Spark]

7 sixes at the MCG is decent hitting

 

[morgieb]

Booo.

Sohail getting the most wickets in this game for Pakistan is a farce.

 

[Spark]

Amir getting 0 and Sohail getting 3 is nonsensical

 

[Jono]

this match will be a good example as to why judging matches on scorecards is dumb

Especially considering they're all over the fence, not just the rope.

wait how

Just tuned in and quite surprised to see oz still batting. Best chance of winning woulda been to declare overnight and have a burst with the ball this morning, and you just never know, with that dead end 3rd innings mentality. No chance of losing so don't really understand why they kept batting.

 

[Black_Warrior]

This is going to be Adelaide 06 all over again. Hazelwood to rip through.

 

[Johnners]

wait how

I'm assuming Sohail/Amirs figures plays a part.

Nah best chance of winning is whacking as many as they can before lunch, then seeing if Pakistan fold in 60 overs with nothing to gain

 

[Jono]

wait how

Scorecard looks like Sohail outbowled Amir by a long way

Because they're best chance of winning was making the runs now.
