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

[Bahnz]

Jeez that must've been annoying as **** for the Aussie contigent

Finally.

Still, what a knock.

Again think Pakistan are at least 50, probably 100 below par. But they would've bitten your arm off for this at 4/47 and 9/227. They may have taken it at the start of the day too.

Important that Warner and Usman don't do anything silly for the first ten overs, because if they can survive it both seem more than capable of a big daddy ton on a dead pitch.

Think it was a run short of Pakistan's best ever 10th wicket partnership v Australia.

 

[ataraxia]

Knock.

And now we immediately enter into a distasteful Warner hagiography – hopefully it lasts one ball.

 

[cricstatnerd]

final TEST for Warner!

I'd give 320 as a good target, and a 1% chance of them reaching it.

For posterity.

Hahahahaha yessss opening nightwatchman

EDIT: Booo. Booooooo!

For posterity.

A massive and unlikely last-wicket partnership and they still don't get there? Seems like a decent call to me

 

[ashley bach]

Went out for a 3 course dinner after the 9th wicket fell so you can imagine my shock when I got home to see them still batting.
Of course first ball I see was the end of it. Incredible.

Opening with Sajid Khan

 

[Starfighter]

What the hell? Why would you open with Sajid?

 

[Spark]

What the hell? Why would you open with Sajid?

Just Pakistan things, unless the umps have told them the light isn't good enough for pace

EDIT: But the sun's coming out, so....

 

[morgieb]

What the hell? Why would you open with Sajid?

My only thinking is to get another over in, but I don't think it's gonna work.

 

[ataraxia]

How much did Warner pay Pakistan

 

[Starfighter]

First one bashed away. Won't be much swing Hamza tomorrow. They should have been making the new ball count because clearly things are going to be very difficult with the old one.

****ing hell it almost worked

And I'd originally written 350 too, but edited it as I lowered my expectations.

 

[Aidan11]

That missed by a whisker.

Might be better for your health if you watch something else tbh.
