17th Match - Australia v Pakistan

[Victor Ian]

Just hitting the zing bails... So good decision by umpire

 

[Spark]

That's a lot higher than it looked. Thought it pitched outside leg.

Yeah same. Just looked all wrong live

 

[harsh.ag]

Wahab is awesome

 

[Spark]

OK, scorecard suggests it's been easy going so Pak hasn't bowled well then.

Yeah they've bowled like crap. Way too short, really inconsistent in line too. Doesn't matter how much swing is on offer when you're feeding the cut shot all the time.

 

[trundler]

That's way better.

 

[Spark]

Heh this is fun

 

[vcs]

Thought I'd read a cricinfo article saying Pakistan's slip catching had improved recently. They also dropped a regulation catch off Root in the last game.

 

[trundler]

He was looking in the direction of the ball, tbf. And got a hand to it. Major improvement.

 

[Spark]

not really sure what Finch is doing with his stance here

 

[Starfighter]

I'll laugh if Hafeez comes on and starts ripping them. The pitch doesn't look all that grassy close up.

It's a bit Smith-esque, isn't it?

 

[smash84]

**** fielding

 

[Starfighter]

Classic Pakistan fielding.

 

[trundler]

Straight up club level. Ruins a good over too. Hopeless.

 

[smash84]

damn it, another drop

 

[Arachnodouche]

Ya not beating Australia with this amateur-hour bull****.

 

[harsh.ag]

Ya not beating Australia with this amateur-hour bull****.

Yeah, this.

Sarfraz dropping one now. All shambles.

 

[harsh.ag]

This is cruel

 

[trundler]

That went badly.

 

[trundler]

4 drops so far, I think. Along with generally terrible fielding and inconsistent pie chucking.
