*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[trundler]

9 off that over. Brutal.

 

[stephen]

Steve Smith is so good he even times his concussions perfectly.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Ponting talking about the Pakistan side needing more energy to try and change the course of the match... if Pakistan got 7/0 I reckon they'd still lose by an innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Any wicket is completely against the run of play here. Good thighs from Rizwan.

 

[stephen]

That came from nowhere.

 

[Starfighter]

Why isn't Naseem bowling?

 

[Starfighter]

That's a soft dismissal.

 

[smash84]

this is torture.

Aus are toying with the bowling and Pakistan will bat on this wicket and make it look like a minefield

 

[vcs]

Maybe Sohail will keep his place in the team based on his bowling.

 

[stephen]

Terrible dismissal that.

Interesting that most of the wickets have come to spin. Lyon will feast in the second innings methinks.

 

[stephen]

That Tim Paine mugshot makes him look about 4 years old.

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?

interesting, i was using a VPN but with an australian address and it let me in. when i disconnected i got the same error

anyway i just want it known that Brayshaw just said Bob Simpson is the best known example of a player going big with their debut century

 

[Daemon]

Top stuff from Rizwan today. He's had a good test, could've well made a nice 50 if the ump didn't saw him off.

 

[Gnske]

anyway i just want it known that Brayshaw just said Bob Simpson is the best known example of a player going big with their debut century

Tell me what part of that cunning insight is wrong though?

 

[trundler]

Rizwan is a great inclusion though. As I've been saying for a while.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

When the commentator is describing Imran as 'the experienced bowler', something does not feel quite right.

 

[Starfighter]

Why isn't Naseem bowling?

Like... seriously. Are they waiting for the third new ball?


I ****ing hate the declaration talk. Just make sure you only bat once.

 

[stephen]

Declaration talk is stupid. There's two full days left and a guy who can make a gigantic debut double/ triple.

 

[stephen]

I mean if you can, set a target of 400 with 5 sessions to go. No way you can lose and it's exceptionally difficult for the opposition to draw.

 

[stephen]

That was a deft touch for 4.
