[Athlai]

Nawaz (6)

 

[thierry henry]

Really nice from 3Waz(3) until he bowled a half volley. Further proof that good bowling is good.

 

[Socerer 01]

Doull stfu

Quite the strike rate ain’t it?

renowned western suburbs second grader Haris Rauf bowling like a western suburbs second grader so far today

His brother was a driver in our office and used to tell me how good he was

I was like “sure buddy”

Nice of Pakistan to get through all these half decent overs, so the Aussies get a breather.
The pies coming later are going to fly

Naseem Shah is one of the biggest losses for any team in the tournament

Most improved cricketer in the world IMO

 

[Gob]

There is turn. Not sure it would be possible to exploit the pitch under lights later on

haha bro haris rauf is better than the vast majority of cricketers on the planet, even if he was a worse player than he is.

he's also had some pretty damn good days, and i thought he looked like a chucker when i first saw him. he's certainly better than a snide comment to his family member from a schmuck like you and i.

 

[TheJediBrah]

This batting is verging on being a bit selfish now. They need to kick on and not play for personal milestones

This was years ago and before he even played 2nd grade for Wests

Had no idea that his brother would turn out to be a WC fast bowler

 

[King Kane]

Pakistan have at least slowed the scoring rate but when the scoring rate is still about 7 an over with 10 wickets in hand it doesn't really matter that much

 

[BazBall21]

If he was Indian, Doull would say Marsh is slowing down for a milestone.

 

[Gob]

This batting is verging on being a bit selfish now. They need to kick on and not play for personal milestones

Not sure that's the case though. Looks like they are genuinely struggling to hit the gaps

Obviously one big over can open the floodgates

 

[Athlai]

Yeah Pakistan really need to worry about the extra run from a fielder hitting the stumps

 

[BazBall21]

Bowling has been very defensive too since Haris was decapitated.

They need to take more risks with 10 wickets in hand. Mitch Marsh especially seems to have shut up shop

No they don't?
They don't "need" to at all.

 

[Athlai]

They could. I reckon they probably will start going pretty ham by the 30th over.

But low risk cricket here is adding runs here and eating up the better Pakistani overs

These are the first 2 bowlers to hit a line and length even a little bit. Batting has just been playing the bowling on its merits all the way through.
