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

You'd think Renshaw will have played himself into the First Test side for India here. Marsh will go as the sub batsman now.

Think Swann on BT had a good point about Amir wanting a session off. Disappeared when it was tough and is now back.

Sohail Khan will be very happy he got dropped.

I mean I think Mitchell Johnson would like to have a word with anyone who thinks that the pitches were "suited" to our bowlers.

It's not a case of suiting the bowling attack, it's a case of doubling down on the idea that people like Johnson and Starc with the X Factor of their bowling will help win sessions that end up winning the match. A lot of the matches Australia win at home, it's usually based on one really bad session by the opposition.

I wouldn't rule out seeing them drop Khawaja for Marsh as a 'horses for courses' thing.

 

[Starfighter]

Fantastic...

 

[adub]

well done that man

wouldn't shock me tbf

 

[Nate]

Well run from Handscomb! Well done Renshaw.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smarsh could be very unlucky here, unless they decide Cartwright isn't the go for India.

Renshaw has to play. Even if he fails on this tour its good experience and he could do a Hayden 2001 next time.

 

[stephen]

So glad Renshaw got his ton.

You're not entirely wrong that Australia are possibly more suited to those conditions, but suggesting that they are being prepared on purpose because Australia are more suited to them is very wrong

 

[Burgey]

Looking at the line up on tv, surely SOK bats ahead of Haze?

 

[Zinzan]

Best aspects of Warner and Renshaw's tons, especially Warner's since he did it before lunch, was not having Nicholas creaming his pants over them.

 

[Burgey]

Such a weird shot for Renshaw to pull out just then. Out of nowhere

Warney was in charge of Ch9 teamsheet batting order

 

[Starfighter]

Handscomb lucky that no-one else picked that one up either.

 

[stephen]

Lovely shot that.

Pakistani fielding as dire as ever. Huge life for Handscombe.

I don't think it's controversial to say that Aus would prefer more pace in the pitches in general.

Delighted for the kid btw. Moment he won't forget.
