*Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

[GotSpin]

Lyon is so innocuous these days. Accurate, predictable stuff with no drift or drop. He was getting lots of drop when he had his purple patch, which was the difference maker.

Managed to get a couple to drop early on this innings but now he's back to his usual stuff. You can watch it the whole way onto the bat, no worries.

He looks good today. Could have had a couple

 

[Burgey]

Cummins has been great since lunch. Even on the flattest decks he looks dangerous.

Roady McRoady Road supreme

Turny road too, not hard pacy road that Australia like, tho it's got some bounce.

cnerd you must be in heaven being able to watch 3 matches simultaneously

Well hopefully he makes some inroads, otherwise this is gonna be drab viewing.

from the little I've seen so far he looks quite sharp.
but then again, he is just about the best quick in the world...

 

[Kirkut]

And yes Haysman you **** I know it's sold out

How is that possible? It's the subcontinent and test matches being sold out?

Early days

Need wickets though, or else it will be a long leather chase.

Especially when you support five of the six sides

Well sure, but he's asking a fair few questions. All you can do on this deck, one feels

let me take a wild guess...everyone except Australia?

Cannot argue with that. Babar, Alam and Rizwan are yet to bat, 500+ on cards.

wont be long till they start thinking about the new ball, flat as pancakes still but 500 still a small mountain away.

Hope Imam gets up here. Decent player.

Being harsh on Lyon. He's looked quite dangerous at times.

Yeah this sort of wicket is Australia's nightmare. Flat enough to take their bowlers out of it, not so flat that it would still probably be easy for batting on Day 4. Add that Pakistan won the toss and.....

It's early days. Maybe the attack starts reversing it and a rush of wickets come. Can't call it until Pakistan are actually 4-500 by lunch tomorrow

 

[Spikey]

oh no reverse swing. check the pockets

Love to see Azhar Ali getting some runs in front of a cheering home crowd. 18 test tons including a triple, half of them in UAE which no one remembers. C'mon lad.

 

[Aritro]

It's doing more than nothing, so that's good
