*Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

Yeah it looks pretty dead but I do think it's gonna start turning. Only having the one spinner is gonna bite I fear.

Hopefully not. Aus would be hoping they’d bat almost to day five

Had enough of Smith

Used to like him but now just a clown

 

[trundler]

Shaheen pls. Hopefully we get some reverse going

To see this fella picking up test wickets at the age of 73 is inspirational

Lolwut

His antics at the crease are just lol

Just bat

 

[trundler]

Where reverse ffs

 

[Gnske]

They're already Wagnering him

Tough deck to do that on. If it doesn’t come off quickish you’re going to destroy your two quicks

He actually seems a bit antic-less atm tbh. I think they’re purely a product of his personality, and not deliberate. The bloke batting with him though….

If Smith isn’t on the spectrum (he is, let’s face it) he can certainly wave to it from where he’s standing

 

[Burgey]

He’s a good bowler Shaheen but I think if he gobbed off at you it would be hard to take seriously because he just seems too good a bloke.

 

[Burgey]

Good session. Richie Benaud scorecard at tea.

only 50 behind the follow on now. If these two can make it to stumps then Aus might be able to force something tomorrow, weather permitting

Yeah Shaheen sledging Smith can't work because the former looks too much like a smiling couch and the latter is too autistic for it to register

Why prepare a wicket like this in your return to Test cricket as a nation? Has no one been following how good bowler-friendly Test cricket has been lately

Pitch is fine they should just bowl wobble seam and back of the hand slower balls and use analytics to work the batsmen out

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Chaminda Vaas fast spinners imo

 

[Burgey]

Think this session decides whether Pakistan can force a result tbh. If Aus are no more than 3 or 4 down at stumps at worst then they’d be well placed to save the game or possibly even force something late day 5 if they can get at or above parity.

Why is the other umpire standing at point. It’s not park cricket

Good 50 from marnus.
