***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

[Scaly piscine]

Class innings, hopefully some more fireworks to come.

 

[Blocky]

The other great thing for Pakistan

Now highly unlikely that Starc and Haze play the third test - the amount of overs they've bowled already in this test will put them in the high risk/rotation area.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Garbage shot, garbage declaration.

 

[Blocky]

Classy bowling by Hazelwood.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Epic knock by Azhar.

 

[Burgey]

That's got to be one of the best 3 fer bowling efforts I've seen, given how many overs he bowled and went for so few runs.

Credit to Pakistan for sitting on him too, and scoring off the others.

Warner to go cheaply here.

 

[Scaly piscine]

As well as $7 being good value for Pakistan, I think Australia are worth the $20 or thereabouts too. It's Pakistan and draws are never that likely.

Agree, they summed up the conditions perfectly, knew that Lyon would be next to no threat at all and they could take on Bird and Starc. Haze was just amazingly good at keeping it where it needed to be, but Australia just don't have the fire power anymore to consistently bowl sides out in these types of conditions. They'll do it occasionally when Starc turns up and people mistakingly gift Lyon a three-fer, but they're not going to be the dominant side they're used to being unless pitch conditions change.

Didn't realise Warner's record at the MCG was so bad.

Can't clear the ropes as easily over here #MCGSoBig

One of the Review Hall of Shame.

 

[Nate]

And that, friends, is the worst review of all-time.

 

[Burgey]

That's maybe the worst review ever. If Sarfraz's vision is that bad how does he catch anything?

 

[Alex0paul]

Warner undoing his gloves after every ball is infuriating

 

[mr_mister]

omfg that review lol

bring back kamran akmal im officially sick of this sarfaz loser

 

[Blocky]

Warner has some lovely luck today.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Pakistan have deserved a bit more luck today. Some really good bowling.

 

[Gnske]

swear I can hear Amir getting booed, certainly hope he is.

 

[Blocky]

Boo him; he doesn't give a ****, he's looked far better than your bowlers thus far.

 

[Gnske]

Give them money in brown paper bags too and they would have shown more gumption in that effort earlier.
