No noise at all there

All cricket is pointless if you look at it long enough.

As is life

Starc 3-33 @SillyCowCorner1

Wild shot that from Shaheen but that's how he plays. Doesn't say much for Pakistans batting depth with him batting at 8.

This is getting silly now. How is that number somehow special?

 

[Skyliner]

Bugger all people at the ground. I worry that ODI and T20 cricket are dying, the superior format Test cricket is killing them stone dead.

MCG can appear empty with 20,000 at the ground though. Also it's a Monday with a huge day tomorrow for Melbourne Cup day, plus it's a meaningless ODI...

What makes you think T20 cricket is dying? Seems to me it's just continued to boom.

Naseem of all people #punishing Zampa here.

(i think he's joking wrt how people moan about tests dying any time there isn't a crowd in)

Not often you see Zampa go for 64

This is like an old fashioned 1980's ODI, 204 to win

I very much doubt Australia will bat like it's the '80s. Could be a mauling. Wasn't much sideways movement on offer today. Pakistani batsmen just got done by the bounce.

Yeah I think you're right and barring something very unusual this could very well be a pasting.
It was a different game back in the 80's that's for sure. Funnily enough have been watching some old series just recently and 0/10 off 8 overs was not
at all uncommon. Saw a game last night from 85/86 where Larry Gomes scored 3(23) lol

Reckon if it's a good enough deck for Naseem Shah to score runs then the Aussie batters have a fair chance.

The wait for Matt Short to actually do something at this level goes on

That's why I find it funny Short is being talked about for T20 captain (they say it's him or Inglis). I don't see how you can make a player captain if they haven't fully established themselves in the team

That was gross lmao
