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

[Burner]

Pakistan digging their own hole. Singles shits

 

[mackembhoy]

Wade as the match winner and it's snowed over night.

What a **** day already.

 

[Top_Cat]

Nah, I mean his lop-eared galoot look, not his physique.

Lee + Napoleon Dynamite am I rite.

 

[Starfighter]

Starc on the money once again.

 

[Top_Cat]

Don't feel enough is being made of how good a knock Wade's was tbh. Super innings under the circumstances and in ****** Brissie conditions that are melting everyone.

 

[Zinzan]

**** off Pakistan, I should have gone out with the missus instead of stupidly thinking this could be an exciting match.

Jeez you got to feel for Pakistan supporters.

 

[Starfighter]

Head's really slipped under the radar here. Nothing like a few overs of unthreatening off breaks to bring down the run rate.

 

[Zinzan]

Jeez, that was some yelp from Wade on the appeal. Almost had me thinking Jayawardene had come out of international retire when I heard that.

 

[vcs]

That's because Pakistan are masters of making relatively straightforward chases difficult for themselves in the middle overs, after they've lost a couple of wickets. It's basically how India have beaten them in the last few World Cups (and nearly managed to defend a below par total in the Asia Cup before Afridi sliced a couple over the ropes). They're poor at rotating strike against the containing bowlers in the middle overs.

Told ya.

Pakistan are masters at ****ing up chases like these. This isn't even under tournament pressure. They're just poor at keeping the scoreboard ticking over and not letting the pressure accumulate in limited overs cricket.

Our worst performance in six years: Misbah | cricket.com.au

This is a good read from a quality human being.

 

[Starfighter]

And Head gets through his 10 overs for just 28 runs. So much for getting after the fifth bowler. They didn't seem to work him much at all.

Will have a gander later, presumably the 2-0 annihilation against NZ was their worst performance according to Misbah, unless he's meaning the whole last 6 months following England.

 

[NZTailender]

Apart from Warner and Smtih who have enough about them of a lead character, the Australian team look like a bunch of extras from Game of Thrones.

 

[Starfighter]

Yes!

 

[cnerd123]

Bangladesh would whoop both these teams

 

[Zinzan]

Got feel for poor old Waqar in the comm box, he sounds so resigned today. Who could blame him, they genuinely had a chance today.

 

[Burgey]

Bangladesh would whoop both these teams

Bish, plz

 

[Zinzan]

It's criminal they're having a night off from the Big Bash presumably with the knowledge this noncompetitive drivel is being played instead.

And Maxy didn't even get a trundle. As could really drop a bowler here and have M Marsh & Faulkner at 8 and 9. How awesome would that be?

what? criminal? It's just common sense
