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

[King Kane]

Not a great start for them with Starc getting Shafique for another duck.

 

[Burgey]

until jamal came and saw and conquered i think the answer to this question might have actually been jadeja

Bumrah, obvs

 

[Prince EWS]

Shafique

Batted well first dig in Melbourne but has had such a mare with everything he's done otherwise.

I was gonna say a sorry end to his tour but he'll probably still drop another catch or two in the fourth innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Could easily be all out for under 150 if Starc bowls a few more like that. Sure to be in their heads as well.

[Burgey]

Would be great for test cricket if Pakistan win this. They've carried themselves really well this series and for that reason alone I hope they can get it done.

I really do think Masood has a lot about him as a leader. I hope his form holds well enough for him to be secure in the side long term, because I can see him leading them into a pretty formidable outfit tbh

 

[Starfighter]

Absolutely awful. Pakistan's ability to throw it away is like no other.

 

[Skipper Pup]

Frankly they might well need the wake up call.

There's probably a bit of complacency in the squad given the media noise around this series before it started.

No doubt there will be some sensational headlines if Pakistan win but my general sense is the majority of the Oz cricket following public won't really care

 

[Spark]

Wtf is this? We at Sydney or Cape Town?

 

[Starfighter]

We really need a thread for those.

Well...

A thread for Marcus Harrises

This is for team members who have made an active contribution in helping the opposition to victory, in honour of Marcus Harris' ineptness with the bat and in the field at Headingley in 2019 assisting England to a remarkable come-from-behind win. Michael Bracewell definitely taking the prize for...

Oh wow. Masood's been a really reliable part of their batting too. Terrible shot.

Complacency is 100% the word to describe the batting at least. God knows what would have happened without Cummins.

 

[trundler]

Hmm at least this was swift

Apparently he doesn't have the ability to leave the first ball he's faced, and that he definitely should have left.

 

[King Kane]

Now a duck for Masood, they are back in Pakistan mode again and this pitch has turned into the Newlands pitch in Cape Town with wickets tumbling.

 

[Shady Slim]

two things for mine here; the first is this is when babar can put a pretty mid tour behind him, whack on the bigboy pants and be a legend

the second is this is where dropping imam reeeeeally looks a bad move. perfect guy for this situation

It's so easy to see why a lot of Pakistan fans seem a bit off their rocker. It's nightmare inducing stuff.
