*Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

It’s not real cricket so probably doesn’t count tbh

actually yea most aussies probably think exactly this so he should be fine

Should have picked Ashton Agar... Not playing a SLAO in Asia these days counts as a blunder.

 

[trundler]

Head released a lot of pressure. Batsmen should be able to eek out more singles here.

Absolutely. You definitely need a bloke who bowls straight darts on a road in place of one of the best pacers of the last decade.

Head didn't quite provide the penetration that Cummins needed there.

Definitely feels like we misread the pitch, though I think the pitch is closer to a road and a turner. Also hard as Hazlewood and Starc are both far better than Swepson/Agar.

Be interesting to see if it reverses at some point.

Looks like just a poor decision from Cummins more than anything. Just keep the pacers rotating through

Weird that we went to head first over green or marnus.

Think reverse is likely to be a bigger factor than Agar. But they've doctored a road here so who knows. #NotMyPindiPitch

SIX!

400+ is what Pakistan should aim here. Great toss win.. Cummins looking clueless already

 

[Burgey]

And they’re well within their rights to tbh

Yeah not like they’ve been poor tbh

 

[trundler]

This is really excellent from Imam. Taking on Lyon ties Cummins's hands. Maybe we'll see Smith soon.

 

[trundler]

Well played. Cummins trying things

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Yeah atleast its not as bad as that japanese guy screaming into the mic

I'm gonna pay Babar to use that as his walk up music.

 

[honestbharani]

Dunno if it applies to Shaheen but it definitely applies to Naseem.

Nah, Naseem looks most likely to be somewhat near the age they claim on his certificate.

 

[Starfighter]

Tour subcontinent, lose toss, don't have enough competent spin, nothing there on the first day. Seems like same old, especially as Starc isn't the same Starc who produced that awesome series in Sri Lanka. Hope it remains flat long enough to get a big first innings.

 

[Burgey]

Excellent session from Pakistan. Batted really well. Not much doing for the Aus bowlers. Going to be a hard day's work

 

[Burgey]

Is there a reason this session seems to be running OT?

 

[Apex Predator]

Lyon has been pretty poor against Pakistan even in UAE. Maharaj Linde being SLAO have troubled far more in these parts. Off spinners are usually struggling anyways these days.
