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

International Captain
Just saw the leg slip chance again. Not sure what adub saw but that was well wide of Wade's gloves, basically went straight to Warner.
I'll have to have another squiz. It looked off the fingers to me. But then my eyes are ****.
 

Compton

International Debutant
40 years from now some random batsman who no-one rates will come in and finish a short career with an average of 65 and people will say "It irks me that he's finishing with the second highest average" and "don't worry nobody is going to think he's as good as Graeme Pollock, George Headley or Adam Voges"
Almost right, except that 65 will be the third highest average behind TPC after he cleans up in India.

Pakistan lucky they got him for 24 in the first innings.

You know I'm really happy that the bulk of the runs for Australia came from Renshaw and Handscomb. Khawaja and smooth should be able to fail once in a while without our entire batting collapsing.

What was even your crime and do you feel you've been rehabilitated?
Called Blocky a ****ing idiot

Well there's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was a week ago a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's a week gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a ****.

Most people over-rate Pollock and he had a similar career statistically.
Well Pollock's career went longer, and also he didn't play Tests after 26 (around the age most batsmen start hitting their peak). If the South African government wasn't so racist he could have easily had a 8000+ run career averaging ~60, especially given how long he lasted in the rebel South African team.
