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

[King Kane]

Ayub off the pair with a boundary.

That will be a relief for him., he hasn't joined the Gooch club with a pair on test debut.

 

[Starfighter]

Tim Lane with some weapons-grade nonsense there.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

Masood averages 29 after 32 Tests how on Earth did he become Test Captain , terrible player how can you just gift your wicket like that after losing an early wicket.

Technically that leg bye off Hazlewood was ruled as runs but I see your point.

They actually retconned the leg bye and made it a run which means he was already off the mark.

 

[Starfighter]

I reckon Starc's being all over the shop in that over helped him get the wicket. Though the main reason was it came back a country mile.

 

[Starfighter]

Granted this sort of bowling from Hazlewood isn't easy to face for anyone, but Ayub looks really ill-equipped to handle it.

 

[Shady Slim]

and not to go on and on about it but this is a real reason that it’s so hard to win for a touring team on an australian pitch. these two get through starc and haze and instead of relief a bowler better than both of them combined comes in for a trundle instead

 

[Starfighter]

Smashing Adam Milne around isn't much of an achievement.

 

[Kenneth Viljoen]

I picked Saim Ayub in the fantasy draft , did some background knowledge on this guy , he is a destroyer of bowling attacks his modus operandi is to score at run a ball like a Sehwag ,so if Australia do not get rid of him they are going to fetch the ball from the boundary, has a FC SR of 70

This has been great fun given everyone was writing Pakistan off before the series (including me)

Not everyone

 

[honestbharani]

Just so soft it's not even funny.

Beg to differ.

 

[Prince EWS]

Not everyone

Everyone who matters.

 

[honestbharani]

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

They also overflow with so much talent they can afford to carry a Brearley type captain role IMO.

 

[honestbharani]

Everyone who matters.

Don't be jealous bot.

 

[Starfighter]

Good way to break the batsman's concentration this. Pretend it's foothole problems every time you bowl a crap ball.

They may as well just get the umpire to hang onto the sledgehammer when Starc's bowling.

Is anyone else a bit worried despite the result this series? I just don't feel very confident in this side right now despite the whitewash.

Marnus has been scratchy for a prolonged period, Smith looks the worst he's looked in ages, head has had a dreadful series, and starc is the second best bowler in the side despite bowling both sides of the wicket regularly this series. As bad as Warner's been for a while, he's a major reason where up in this series and hes done after this game, and the replacements are so bad where talking about making green, marnus or Smith to open. We've also got to replace usman in the near future.

 

[Prince EWS]

Aw that hypetrain story from Wasim was totally ruined by "... at Junction Oval."

No because we have BISON

Well you will no doubt go on to have a lean run after this core group of players retire. Can't avoid that
