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

Captain Climate to the rescue with the solar panels in Chinnaswamy powering him up

Babar and Rizwan are total opposites. One isn't particularly skilled at all but is good under pressure and gets everything out of himself. The other is a top 3 most talented Pakistan batsman of all time (minimum) but suffers too many lazy dismissals and is developing a poor record in these situations.

Ok that is just a phenomenal catch from cummins.

 

[trundler]

3 wickets off pies. Atrocious. Now they're going to have to rebuild with Starc and Haze being held back. Game over

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hahahaha that entire thing, from the ball, to the shot, the catch and babars reaction was a carbon copy of Laxman getting caught by Mark Waugh at Chennai 2001.

I know this is a very random reference.

 

[mackembhoy]

Turned on to see Babar hole out to Cummins.

Sorry Pakistan fans. Game over now, will fall apart.

 

[King Kane]

Babar never fails to disappoint when the pressure is on.

It's now up to the real captain Rizwan to try and get Pakistan home.

Laxman was the undisputed master of the "wry disbelieving smile upon shelling one to the ring" IIRC. A real staple of his.

Miandad and Zaheer?

Love the captaincy from cummins. Zampa to rizwan and hazlewood on as soon as saud's on to test him with pace early.

 

[Jumno]

Pakistan going nicely and have a chance here

If they can pull this off, feels a similar chase to 2003 WC final

 

[Adorable Asshole]

It's all now on Pak Bradman and Rizwan.

Exactly.

 

[Jumno]

Four!!!!!!

Very intriguing and exciting contest we have here, bowling tactics, changes, field placings

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I feel in big chases like this, would hurt the batting side that much if they promoted a pinch hitter up the order ? I think a Hasan Ali would provide a useful cameo

 

[BazBall21]

Like Shakeel but not sure he can smack this pace attack at the death. Though we're a long way off Pakistan making it to that stage with a chance yet.

I've seen Shakeel smoke some quality bowlers so Pakistan are still in with a chance with Rizwan there as well, they need to build a big partnership here.

That’s what we have Chacha for
