***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

[Starfighter]

'Shaheen giving advice to the young lad'. Shahzad's older than him (allegedly)

 

[nightprowler10]

Decent first over from the newbie. Better lengths than Shaheen.

 

[Starfighter]

First leaden-footed slash from Warner.

 

[Burgey]

Notwithstanding previous matches were at the WACA, Pakistan's batting record in WA is horrendous. Twice been bowled out for under 100 and sub-200 1st innings being the norm.

I remember when a 50 something year old Dennis Lillee went through them in the festival game at Lilac Hill. Even bounced a couple out ffs

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope Shaheen has a good tour here, copped some ott criticism recently iml. Easy to get discouraged when the fielders are inept though. Wasim in the combo must be getting some ptsd.

 

[Starfighter]

Channel 7 has forgotten the speed gun.

Bugger, frankly wouldn't have minded Warner gone.

 

[Gnske]

That's why small people under 6'1 don't belong at slip

 

[ataraxia]

Looks like a slow outfield.

 

[Starfighter]

The pitch seems to be a bit livelier than it was for the West Indies match, though it's not lightning. Shaheen straying onto the pads a lot here.

 

[Daemon]

Both openers on FCA of 1-2

And his son (playing 3rds grade cricket ATM iirc) at the other end was taking a bundle of wickets as well!

 

[honestbharani]

Don't write them off so early

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nice bowling from the new guy apart from the first couple of balls.

 

[Starfighter]

Shahzad must fancy himself against Khawaja here. Beat him quite a few times.

Can anyone who's watching Fox tell me if there's a speed gun, and if so, what kind of pace he's bowling?

Edit: never mind, 132.8.

 

[Daemon]

Moral scorecard 8-2 atm for those keeping track

130-35

 

[nightprowler10]

Using the crease well there. 2 decent overs.

 

[Starfighter]

I think Pakistan are really going to miss Naseem on this tour. Still, they didn't have to let him play the LPL knowing he already was carrying a shoulder injury. All time bad fitness management that.

 

[Gnske]

I still hate the Toyota logo, but it's sad that its miles better than having that Alinta garbage spewed on the front for years.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh, he's around the wicket now...Warner's gonna get bowled like a mook here.
