*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[trundler]

Geez that's some scorecard to come home to.

What's the pitch like? How did my man Zaman do?

 

[morgieb]

Yeah, looked very plumb.
I figured, Zaman reviewing, it must have been an inside edge. That's something I find very hard to judge, (both watching it on TV from the front, as well as doing umpiring duties myself). But replays clearly showed 'no edge'. I was a bit surprised it was hitting the wicket so high.

Was referring to the first one. Obviously didn't cost them though.

Bloody hell, just saw that Lyon is now the 4th highest Australian wicket taker behind only Lillee, McGrath and Warne

You know, speaking of Warne. How ironic would it be if we went through a whole post-Lyon era of tossing around spinners like candy trying to replace him when he retires.

Got him already: Labuschagne.

 

[trundler]

**** that was a genuinely great ball.

 

[Spark]

this "Labushagne is actually a semi-consistently dangerous bowler" thing is definitely something we all saw coming

 

[Starfighter]

Is Marnus the new Richie Benaud?

Well at one point he did have two for twenty two.

Fought well after a horror collapse early-ish on. Quickly showing that he's zaman for a crisis.

 

[aussie tragic]

Now that Labu..... bowls better than MMarsh, can we finally drop him as the so called alleounder

 

[Spark]

looks bloody painful that

what a Fakhar

 

[Bijed]

Quite the impact being made here by Labuschagne-warne

 

[trundler]

Is Labuschagne the new Mendis

 

[TheJediBrah]

We shouldn't have bothered picking Jon Holland and just played another batsman instead

 

[StephenZA]

Lyon getting lost in the Labuschagne limelight?

94 becoming a portentous Pakistan score?

 

[stephen]

Say what you will about his batting, Labaschagne has taken two catches and two wickets. That's huge output for a guy who wasn't picked to bowl.

 

[Stapel]

Though I am somewhat impressed by ML's bowling, I don't think we should get too carried away. His second wicket was very good, but the third was nothing but the batsman's fault.

Are you on a time delay?

Yeah I wasn't serious. He's just been lucky. He averages 50+ in FC cricket for a reason.
