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

cool let's hear warne talk about player behaviour

also the reason for the possible card system was because of the lower levels

Just noticed this morning that Handscomb is an extremely defensive runner between the wickets. That last one wasn't terrible but he's turned a couple of 3s into 2s and 2s into 1s when running with Renshaw and Cartwright

Haha I was about to say that Cartwright is a notably aggressive runner. Two sides of the same coin I guess, but they better sort it out fast.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Dear god what has happened to Clarke's commentary? Used to be legitimately good imo. His instagram discussion with Taylor was the pits.

Hit that sweet

 

[Burgey]

How good is it to see the great RJL Hawke in the crowd again this year?

Cartwright definitely has the potential to be a top order player IMO

Every time I see/hear the name Handscomb it reminds me of Ben Handscom from IT.

I can only focus on the comb part however

Aus score prediction time. Me thinks 640 declared.

Sarfraz is learning too much from Wadeh

 

[Tangles]

Wait Handscomb and Cartwright have been missed? Both by the keeper?

Yep, and almost identically too.

both missed stumpings, almost indentical

Agree that Handscomb is a big chance of missing one leaving the crease in India, but I think it's pretty noticeable how much better he is at picking the length to come down to than Cartwright. It's good to see him prepared to go forward and back, but Hilton needs to work much more on picking the right ball to come down to on what he's shown so far. Not just the one he missed either.

Yasir bowled well to him in that over tbh, had him caught on the crease a few times. Against Ashwin in India doing that will just be asking for doom though.

I thought the replay was the one from yesterday cause I was out of the room for a minute. Shite keeping.

 

[adub]

two examples in two balls

 

[Spark]

Oh yeah he definitely does not look comfortable here.

I could understand if Smith decides not to declare until late and put Pakistan in twice, with the time remaining.

Batting practice. Fill your boots.

He shouldn't be thinking of declaring before tea IMO.
