*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[morgieb]

I really don't get why there isn't a slip.

imam ul haq is the nerdy looking guy who looked like mud in ireland and england right? if so i'm mildly impressed he's still in the team

Slow outfields in the UAE are pretty annoying. Might as well make it a complete batting paradise.

Starc has done really well.

 

[morgieb]

Holland's been a real issue, think Siddle and Lyon have been decent enough and Starc has been genuinely strong despite being unlucky. Holland's been giving up runs too easily IMO.

Turns out Pakistan has genetics issues too ironically enough.


No slip and third man, I like what the Paine and Langer duo are bringing.

Nerdy looking players apparently get far in NZ cricket.

Hope we continue to get pummelled and they never pick Siddle and Marsh again

They aren't going to drop Marsh (and given the touring squad he probably shouldn't be, either)

Siddle I think has actually been OK here. He'd do better than Neser I suspect.

 

[trundler]

Siddle has been bowling as fast as an Indian pacer today.

I believe Burgey has a theory.

 

[Tom Flint]

When india are cruising piling on the runs against wi it's how awful the Windies are.
When the same happens to aus it's because they are bowling on a road?

 

[Spikey]

probably need siddle's batting

Have you looked at the pitch?

 

[Second Spitter]

Is Siddle eating cheeseburgers these days?

Guess we'll wait and see what the wicket offers up when Australia bats.

India were also a lot quicker with runs scored too, I think that was more of a case of them bowling **** as well as the conditions.

 

[GotSpin]

Starc bowling really well

I can’t believe how anal a person has to be to think this.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Siddle has been alright, not looking very menacing but at least holding a good line and length

 

[morgieb]

Nice Garry!

Great partnership though. Wonder if that'll mean more luck for Starc now.

 

[NUFAN]

Is Siddle eating cheeseburgers these days?

Plant based cheese burgers yes.

So that would include Mustard Aioli, Lettuce, tomoto, pickles, cheese, cheese sauce, plant-based beef and maybe a tomato relish.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Marnus Labuschagne? De Grandhomme has some competition on the name front I see?

 

[trundler]

As if Sri Lankans don't exist
