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

[Aidan11]

The extra half hour may come into play if Pakistan are still in at the scheduled close of play.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Looked like it hit further up his forearm

 

[Starfighter]

Travis Head is dangerous but not enough variety from Lyon to be as useful as a left-arm spinner would be

He's not that accurate either. Granted I didn't see that much of Clarke bowling but what I have seen he looked like quite a good bowler. Shame about his back though.

Frankly I'd rather Lyon got his spin back, but he's 35 so it's not that likely he'll revert to the form from his late twenties.

I thought the point of DRS is like VAR, where it has to be clear and obvious to overturn?

I'm not watching, but from the comments it looks to be a controversial decision.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Cummins still on track for that ten-for. Looked streets ahead of any other bowler in this match.

True, but Mir Hamza with that swing has been amazing to watch

 

[Aidan11]

Salman is going down fighting.

It's about as obvious as it can be without being definite. The two I've seen disputing it I think are being contrarian.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

BTW, Shafique definitely deserves MOTM.

 

[King Kane]

I might have been a bit harsh calling Salman a no rounder earlier in this thread, he is playing a decent knock here and keeping Pakistan in with a sniff.

 

[cricman]

Also time to start having Pat Cummins vs Glenn McGrath discussions as best Aussie quick ever.

Carrying this attack for some time now.

It wasn't. It was clearly out. People are just stupid

Seen people elsewhere talking about 'the mark further up his arm'. Aside from being fainter, the other replays showed the ball simply didn't pass that far up.

 

[Aidan11]

Rizwan kept pointing to a mark on his forearm but I didn't see the ball go that far up the arm.

I wonder if there is any footage of his forearm prior to that delivery.

I don't count Spofforth etc., so would put him 4th behind McGrath, Lillee, and Lindwall.

 

[Starfighter]

Welp, there's his ten for, and the match too.

 

[thierry henry]

I know it’s numbers 8 and 9 but jeez those last two wickets are weak batting

 

[Prince EWS]

Assuming this is a replacement for Warner, who opens?

I will open.

 

[Starfighter]

Yup, especially from two batsmen who allegedly have *some* ability.

 

[cricman]

Father in Law needs to teach Shaheen how to close your eyes and swing.

 

[Aidan11]

Salman running out of partners.

Too big an ask for him now.
