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

[GotSpin]

You were literally gambhiring in the early stages of the world cup saying australia were mentally cooked and had no shot of doing anything just because they lost two games to strong teams. Shameless lack of self awareness imo.

Thinking your team sucks isn’t gambhiring

Great bowling. Got to think australia have found a technical chink with babar there.

 

[kyear2]

That might have been the turning point there.

Hey I spent like four years genuinely believing that Australia had zero hope in ODIs and the team was ****; there was none of that "anti-jinxing" nonsense going on. Don't pin that on me.

Ian Smith sounds like my drunk uncle

I apparently am alone on this hill these days but I still think Gambhiring really makes threads a slog to read at times

Much like baits or nationalist biased posting, you gotta go for quality over quantity.

More FP than saltshakerz. That's the trick and it also makes threads less of a slog. A well placed gambhir post like @morgieb s in this thread is always value.

We get wrongly accused of it all the time. Typical CW. Sad and hypocritical .

There was some post by some bloke I'd barely seen before earlier in this game which really irritated me - I won't link it because it is some rando and really, who cares - but it was just a paragraph of moaning about the team what not when all that had happened was that there had been a hard fought, mostly evenly matched and thoroughly enjoyable day of cricket on display. Perhaps it's not the anti-jinxing stuff but the entitlement that annoys me.

Treated like a bag of chips!

At least Pakistan is giving a better fight than we did last evening.

Spark whining about gambhiring is fine. Piece of **** Pews whining about it is laughable and only fuels me into doing it more. This asshole would rather cry about gambhiring than spend his energy on kicking white nationalists off the forum.

Never forgive. Never forget.

Worse than Pakistan in Australia is truly a shameful level of performance.

Josh Hazlewood has a good pizza choice.

Cracking through the covers

I see it's the warm up floaty half volley from Starc. He should probably fancy himself to get Rizwan at cover though, like his first innings dismissal.

I know I said to be proactive, but he may be a tad too aggressive right now. Will see.

Shock horror Starc leaking runs in a fourth innings chase. Pakistan needed a bit more depth to win this though one feels. If these two go it'll end quick.

He'll manage to jag some wickets. Always does somehow.

Such an innings is probably needed in this chase. Catalyst

I like that graphic showing Babar's dismissals to good length balls a bit outside off. I think it'd look like that for many batsmen.
