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

[Burgey]

That roof walk thing the stadium has now looks like a giant beer can pull tab


The Adelaide roof climb is still better though

If your city has an “attraction” which consists of walking on the roof of the grandstand of a sports stadium, you need to consider a move

And it's a crap short ball to ruin a previously decent over. No ball too.

Finally

Looks bad when Uzzy nicks off playing from the crease like that

Tiny bit of front foot movement would have helped

Perfect position for marnus to get a score and stat-pad a bit after a tough time in england.

 

[Starfighter]

Barely carried. Shaheen doesn't lift the ball much due to his action, but it's no more than moderately fast pitch. Still, they've got a wicket. Should have happened a lot earlier. If it wasn't for the crap in the first session it'd be more like 1/90.

How many more overs can shaheen afford to bowl in a row here? Marnus is fresh and shaheen has a really good matchup vs him, ideally he needs to stay on for a few overs more and try and get him out. Second wicket and pakistan are back in the running.

That was a lazy shot by khawaja

He can bowl a few more and be done for the rest of the series

You'd hope he could bowl at least three but that might not be a sensible idea. He's bowling a little faster now too, though nothing like his pre-injury top pace.

I do wonder if he'll be as threatening now he doesn't really move it back in. The in/across combo seemed to work very well against Labuschagne.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Apparently Khawaja averages 25 against "full" balls

shocking that the guy who doesn't move his front foot and stays cemented to the crease is bad against full balls

 

[ataraxia]

Ooh

Honestly I don't entirely disagree, just wanted to put **** on Western Australia a bit I suppose

 

[Starfighter]

Too high. Must say Shahzad has bowled excellently so far. By far the best of the bowlers.

 

[ataraxia]

Wait, if you call for a review on a no ball is it retained?

Makes me think he won't do so well against India when they come here next season (for ****s sake)

 

[OverratedSanity]

Definite improvement after lunch from Pakistan.

I was typing so didn't see it. I think the logic is that the fielding team shouldn't lose out for not knowing it's a no ball in the first place.

Bowled really well. Could've been really tough to play if he had another 5kph of pace tbh.

 

[Starfighter]

I can't believe they haven't put a third man in, but when they've been trying to stop crap balls being sent to other parts of the ground I guess it's more understandable.

That was terrible fielding.
