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

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.

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

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.

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

Exactly.

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

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.
