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

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The problem is that you don't have Greig winding up the Australian commentators who get a bit eager on complimenting the team, nor Benaud who was probably the best at remaining completely impartial when analysing a cricket test. Now you've got a situation that most of the time, it's a cheerleading squadron for Australian cricket. And if you're knowledgeable about cricket, that's tedious, but if you're the average viewing fan, you probably love the fact that the English commentator continues to claim your team as being the best and godly, even though recent results suggest it's not.

Um well yeah, no ****? This post was entirely unnecessary.

im feeling a sarfraz missed stumping as soon as Lyon comes on here.

 

[Johnners]

Well in Haze.

 

[Jono]

oh boy

Starc swinging it into Amir will be interesting though.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Or when he was considered the most biased!

Haha he's still pretty bad. Just then on the review with the old "is that a no ball? Let's hope not!". He's charming in that way though. He and Tony together were fantastic.

Great last day this

Jut saw the scorecard


This explains the Blocky/Spark war in the Top 4 thread


Pakistan lol

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Bill Lawry is comfortably the best comm in the box. Remember when he was arguably the worst? Halcyon days.

No. I can't think of any time when he was arguably the worst.

Pakistan carrying to many scrubs.

Younis and Misbah are goosed outside Asia, Sami and Azam have promise, but need to step up.

To many trundlers in the bowling stocks, only Amir and Yasir you could make an argument for been world class and Yasir looks very flaccid these days.

No wonder they are in such a dire position, despite so many rain interruptions.

Also good to see Lyon finally take 4th innings wickets


If he wins this for Oz he may finally earn the right to tie Jadeja's shoelaces.

Yeah, but he's still likely to say something like that about an opposition review. As time has gone on, and probably since Tony's left us, he's just excited about everything that goes on.

Oh man Warne is bagging Steve Waugh hard here. What a ****ing **** head he is.

 

[Red Wingz]

Pak do have some super hero powers every now and then.....they can suddenly change the complexion of a dead match into lively one

 

[Johnners]

Oh man Warne is bagging Steve Waugh hard here. What a ****ing **** head he is.

Missed this, what was he saying?

 

[Red Wingz]

If pak survive this then their tail deserves some serious credit

In such pressure situation against some top quality bowlers is no easy task

 

[morgieb]

Missed this, what was he saying?

Called him a captain that only really liked quicks.

 

[Jono]

Said Steve Smith is a fast bowling captain, like Ponting and particularly Waugh was. Said Waugh always bowled the fast bowlers everytime and that in his mind spinners were an afterthought. Also bagged him for always bowling first.

Warne never did like Waugh, I think because Waugh didn't value the bullshit with Warne, and was an advocate that MacGill could do just as good of a job in the day.

It's ironic though, that Mark Waugh and Shane Warne were so close for so long. Tugga on the other hand was sterner stuff and didn't like the fat kid with amazingly blessed talent.

Really? Steve Waugh was the most regular captain to bowl first in my time watching cricket.
