*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[Daemon]

It has been career of incredible twists and turns. Steven Smith was legspinner who has become Australia's best batsman since Sir Donald Bradman either side of having his career derailed by the Newlands ball-tampering scandal which saw him stripped of the captaincy and banned for 12 months.

The rise from the controversy was as notable as the fall as he returned to Test cricket with a 774-run Ashes series in 2019, the pictures of him in tears at Sydney airport replaced with triumphant celebrations of centuries. Part of his punishment for Cape Town was been banned from any leadership position for two years, but he is eligible to be Australia captain in March 2020 should that turn of events come about.

He is one of the lower tier who deserve a writeup, so they entrusted him to an apprentice.

How are you even accessing it?

I've been getting "page error" on the player pages for almost 24 hours now.

I even tried a different device and a VPN because I was worried they'd blocked me due to my data scraping.

have you tried restarting your device

Setting my VPN to Switzerland seems to work fine. Maybe they've just banned my regular internet *and* the Australian VPN I use.

Alternatively they're having some issue with the server it points Australians to when they connect. Can any other Australians confirm/deny that the player pages are borked right now?

Can confirm

 

[ataraxia]

Can confirm from NZ. Got the same problem with Gupte.

 

[Starfighter]

Yep. I think it's just them being **** as usual, they seem to sink to a new low each year.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I can confirm Cricinfo has been a buggy piece of horseshit for me too, incognito mode seemed to work for me though

That’s what’s even crazier about Smith’s average, when the going is easy he rarely seems to score big runs.

That's not quite true TBH, he cashed in plenty at home against some dire India/NZ/WI/Pak attacks between 2014-16. In fact, I'd say that was the main difference between him and pre-2016 Kohli in Tests until the latter figured out how to score big double centuries.

In the last couple of years, he's been carrying your batting lineup (mainly since the India tour).

 

[Gnske]

I could ejaculate to that shot.

Genuinely moaned at that straight drive

Yuck

 

[Gnske]

Shaheen really dislikes fielding

 

[Starfighter]

Is it just me or does Imran take a year and a half to bowl each of his overs?

 

[stephen]

It's quite conceivable that Smith night be the only batsman not to score 50+ in this innings.

Is it just me or does Imran take a year and a half to bowl each of his overs?

At his age that's normal

Wade has been quite good since he came back. Big upgrade on the Pedigree Brothers.

He's got an extraordinary conversion rate. 4 hundreds, 5 fifties.

You shut the **** up about the Marsh family.
