The snicko liedThe cheeky cheat knows he has nicked it and yet wants to review.
He couldn't get these hands?Smith reviewing that especially baffling as just wasted time which is only in Pakistan's interests.
My assumption is that they feel that this pitch is so hard to score on that Pakistan won't be able to get to that total without taking significant risks.Jesus, this is a risky declaration. 350 in 120 overs isn't too difficult at all.
I'm always a bit negative but they've opened the door when an extra 10 overs of just smashing it would've probably put it out of reach for Pakistan. Anything under 3 an over can be chased down without that much of a hassle.Wow that's a much earlier declaration than I was expecting.
I mean Pakistan batted for about this long in the first innings when it was presumably easier to score quickly and they only got to 230-oddI'm always a bit negative but they've opened the door when an extra 10 overs of just smashing it would've probably put it out of reach for Pakistan.

Australia were scoring pretty freely this innings tbf. But given the way the first two innings went I can see their point. As it is I'm worried they're overcompensating.My assumption is that they feel that this pitch is so hard to score on that Pakistan won't be able to get to that total without taking significant risks.
EDIT: They only scored 230 in about this much time in the first innings, so not an unreasonable assumption
