*Official* Australia in Pakistan 2022

[Daemon]

I mean the obvious cheating aside, why are Australia consistently getting it to hoop much more than Pakistan?

You say this as if Naseem and Shaheen weren't getting it to go miles in the first innings.

Did you watch Pakistan bowl?

Kid continues to impress. Didn't expect him to be as effective with the reversing ball as he has.

I really thought his action was kinda really good to use reverse, and the height is an added bonus. Tall skiddy bowler seems a rare skillset.

Both sides have consistently gotten it to reverse significantly after about 30 overs of the innings.

It made it really frustrating last summer against India when Langer/Cooley insisted on using him as a sort of bang-it-in "enforcer" role (mind you, part of that might have been his action still being a mess and recovering from injury), when all the talk was that he had made his reputation as a pitch-it-up swing bowler.

That tea room is so cringe with the little signs

So it looks like we’re getting **** Starc today.

I actually didn't lol, just wanted to get cheating aussies in

 

[cnerd123]

Starc's 4th innings bowling average in the last 2 years climbs to 94.50

Can he get up to 100 this innings? Needs to concede 22 more runs without taking a wicket, so probably.

Swepson yet to take a 4th innings wicket lol.

 

[Gob]

how long is the lunch break due to praying?

 

[GotSpin]

That's out

 

[morgieb]

Impossible to judge.

 

[Daemon]

That's clearly out.

 

[Spark]

Well this one is going to be contentious. What's a spike or not a spike?

 

[morgieb]

oh wow. Didn’t think that was a conclusive edge.

 

[trundler]

Smith takes one eh. Damnit Azhar.

Well two down before lunch. Shut up shop

 

[GotSpin]

Well this one is going to be contentious. What's a spike or not a spike?

Clearly out when there's a spike passing directly under the bat

 

[trundler]

So hey how's that biased home umpiring

 

[Spark]

oh wow. Didn’t think that was a conclusive edge.

Yeah that's well in "probably out but probably shouldn't be overturned" territory for me.

 

[cnerd123]

That's the faintest edge I've seen given out. The logic holds - there was a murmur on snicko and you couldn't see any gap between the bat and ball - but man feel bad for Azhar.
