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

[morgieb]

Pakistani fielding, everyone.

 

[Chubb]

Oh wow didn’t see a drop coming after they bowled first.

 

[smash84]

This is friggin outrageous

Have a bet with a mate that Warner won’t make 15 in any of his last 4 innings

Forgot about Pakistani fielding

 

[Starfighter]

Hamza is too slow and is bowling too wide on the crease.

It was very noticeable in the last test that while the Australian bowlers were bowling mainly within a foot of off stump, visiting teams like Pakistan and the West Indies for some reason decide to bowl everything to it passes halfway along the crease. It's just wasting the new ball.

Ponting saying Shahid Afridi

 

[Starfighter]

WTF is that

 

[BazBall21]

Bowl a ball over 85mph challenge

 

[Qlder]

Some trivia, Steve Smith got 4000 runs in 80 innings while Labuschagne currently has 3807 runs in 78 innings. So 2 chances to get 193 runs and match Smith.

(Others: Bradman 48 inn, Hayden 77, Harvey 80, Warner 84, G. Chappell 87)

 

[BazBall21]

Pakistan have bowled full to their credit instead of a pointless bang it in barrage that wouldn't suit their bowlers at all.

Suspect they'd have struggled if they batted first. Nippy carry and some seam movement on offer.

FTB supreme

Feels inevitable Warner will go on to another century now.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That drop

This bowling is trash

 

[Starfighter]

And Jamal is off already. Not surprising, he was bowling absolute rubbish. With that lack of control he'd struggle to be first change in a Sydney grade side.

 

[Starfighter]

Pakistan seem to struggle with the concept of taking early wickets - especially after wining the toss and bowling.

Of course it's partly because they don't understand the concept of holding catches.

 

[Starfighter]

If Shaheen was bowling closer to the stumps he could bowl straight down the line without straying onto the pads.

 

[Briony]

Pakistan used to produced good bowlers. The production line has dried up.

Shaheen isn’t fit and the other 2 are, at best, 6th and 7th choice

 

[Starfighter]

Shaheen is bowling throwdowns. So he'll play the next test, all the limited overs series coming up, the whole PSL etc.

He really should be taking a complete rest for a significant period and getting advice on rehabilitating the knee properly. Won't happen though.
