*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[vcs]

I mean, we laugh at the lollapses, but the Australian batsmen are better at batting time than the Indian ones. They saved the Ranchi and Melbourne games last year and have put up a good show here too. Indian batsmen tend to fold under 2nd innings pressure.

Spilled his lasagne, a shame

Ranchi was the first in ages though.

Melbourne was only the 3rd innings which probably helped. Plus that was probably the deadest wicket of all-time.

I see Pakistan haven't given Abbas some overs with the new ball. Silly.

 

[the big bambino]

Woohoo, we're gonna lose by less 200 runs.

Shame that Paine suffered such a serious injury as he could have played 50-100 tests

Very talented & technically correct

Class from Usman

Not sure if there's a way of vetting this. but according to Cricinfo the last time a team batted more than 50 overs to save a test in Asia was 1964. I think once one of these two go the rest will go quickly.

 

[Burgey]

Australia ****ed up this test match in one session. Cruel sport.

 

[morgieb]

This is one of the great knocks from Khawaja.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Excellent knock by khawaja. Hope he sees Australia home.

Haha that's definitely false. There've been plenty. Australia themselves did it just last year against India at ranchi.

has anyone brought up the channel 9 (mostly mark teylor and ian chappell related) meme about how you need to play your natural game in these circumstances of seeing out a draw and you’re more likely to lose your wicket defending?

 

[Spark]

channel 9 is dead

 

[trundler]

Wahab looking innocuous.

 

[Spark]

This is one of the great knocks from Khawaja.

If we draw, then sure.

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's only day 4 right? Aus aren't drawing.

nah day 5

 

[trundler]

Great knock from Khwaja this, in the strictest sense of the word. So refreshing and good to see a quality stonewalling effort.

 

[trundler]

Looking like a draw at this point. Pakistan should've won but Australia deserve it. Not a dull draw at all.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

This is brilliant from Uzi, hope he can keep it going. Abbas back into the attack.
