***Official***Match #18- Australia vs Pakistan- October 20th-Bengaluru (D/N)

[Nintendo]

Marsh has no idea how to move the strike vs the spinners.

 

[Molehill]

Ever since Marsh switched from helmet to cap he's got somewhat stuck. Seems unable to rotate the spinners very effectively. If Pakistan somehow kept this to 350 ish they could be right in it.

 

[BazBall21]

Marsh has no idea how to move the strike vs the spinners.

Hasan on will help.

 

[Molehill]

Marsh has no idea how to move the strike vs the spinners.

And as we say that, Babar inexplicably brings back a seamer who Marsh hits for 6. He truly is clueless.

 

[Athlai]

Yeah pace is going to get belted

 

[Darwin Award]

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

... I'd much rather these 2 be 'selfish' and score at 7-8 runs an over with still enough overs left than see Smith & Marnus walk to the crease and scratch around at just on 5 an over.

 

[mr_mister]

Maxwell should definitely come in at 3

Nevermind the platform set for him and all that, he actually averages 52 against Pakistan. Always monsters them

 

[DriveClub]

Hasan ali is pretty slow for how fast he steams in

Marnus shouldn't feature in this innings

Must be a temptation to send Maxwell in next...

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.

There's been way too many dot balls in the last 4 or 5 overs. It's not going to hurt in the long run if they kick on though, which I'm sure they will. Mitch Marsh is just being a typical Aussie batsman, gets tied in knots against spin especially in these conditions

 

[Test fan]

They are playing for milestone .

 

[TheJediBrah]

Marnus shouldn't feature in this innings

He won't bat above 7. Maybe lower

 

[Darwin Award]

Partnership has now crept to halfway to the Samuels/Gayle World Record Partnership in a World Cup...

 

[number11]

Hasan and Rauf are terrible. Spinners are c grade, Shah is decent but lost his pace.

 

[BazBall21]

Only took one injury for them to look quite ordinary.

 

[Athlai]

Ramiz resorting to black magic curses to get Pakistan back into this.

 

[Darwin Award]

Rameez Raja said if Warner scores a century here it'll be his 4th consecutive against Pakistan...

.. but yeah... let's get in Smith & co.. lol

 

[Athlai]

I dont think a 15 over old ball will reverse

 

[Aidan11]

Just seen the score.

WTF? Did Pakistan forget to turn up?
