*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[stephen]

If Abbas has lost a yard of pace his sub-20 average won't last long.

 

[Starfighter]

Just think. When England rocked up here in 46/47 with Bedser, Pollard and a past-it Voce you got to watch three bowlers like this.


Musa clearly doesn't have much smarts yet. Giving Warner way too much width.

 

[Burgey]

These boys are working ****ing hard out there. Runs not easy to come by.

 

[Starfighter]

Who knew a guy who'd hardly done anything in FC would bowl like this. Musa has a nice action and is quite sharp but that's pretty much all. I can't believe Naseem isn't playing.

Overstepping a lot too.

 

[straw man]

All starting to go wrong for Mansa Musa here - good pace but yet another who is just far too raw.

I know Abbas hasn't been great but Abbas, SS Afridi are clearly Pakistan's two best, and I really don't know who you pick as the third seamer from the other three in the squad.

 

[the big bambino]

Will reserve opinion on Musa until he pitches it up.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I certainly think there's a fair bit to work with wrt Musa Khan, but he's clearly still very raw, long way to go yet, playing him here doesn't look a bright choice

 

[harsh.ag]

The leader of the previous test's attack can't find a place in this one. Never change, Pakistan.

Isn't the problem that they changed too much?

 

[mr_mister]

He ain't gonna average 18 for much longer

 

[Burgey]

Obviously it’s been raining and the ball doesn’t seem to be doing a great deal, but if it doesn’t start zipping around I don’t know that 125kph gun barrels to Dave Warner at Adelaide is a recipe for success.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd this bloke bowling is a dwarf. Looks Warner’s height.

 

[Burgey]

Rameez saying the ball isn’t moving because these two are batting well seems to kind of have things arse about

 

[Starfighter]

Once again the silliness of taking a long break after a large amount of time lost rears its head.

 

[Spark]

That's staggeringly village there from Shaheen.

 

[Starfighter]

Are you ****ing kidding me? I've never seen a misfield that bad. I think Shaheen, already responsible for a lot of bad fielding this series, has outdone himself there. He didn't pick that one up at all.

 

[Starfighter]

Also opening up the session with Iftikhar really shows a lack of intent.

 

[Burgey]

Labushagne turned himself into a proper test player. Jeez he’s tight

Some decent turn for day one

 

[vcs]

Labuschagne having quite a start to his Test career.

 

[Burgey]

Really rate he’s prepared to wait out a tough spell (so far anyway)
