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

[Blocky]

I'm so glad that Smith was involved at something vaguely controversial so this thread can get totally insufferable for the next 3 pages again. Exactly what was needed this afternoon.

Please; I've left this thread alone (mostly due to how boring the cricket has been); I'm about to exit it again.

Not debatable in the slightest. Hotspot and spike. Or do we now quantify these hot spots and spikes? ''Big ones are out''?

I'm not even watching it. Just guessing based on cricinfo commentary,

obviously wasn't the point of the post though

WTF Don't. I love you man. Never leave. God spoke to me the other day and he said he would infract me if I didn't stop being rude to you.

You are more welcome here than ever

His posting is great comedy value. I hate it when he's banned.

Congratulations to Yasir on his fourth century of the series

Now can we declare?

The Snicko spike was after the ball passed the glove and the supposed hot-spot possibly imagined. Not really evidence for an overturn.

 

[TheJediBrah]

probably should declare tbh, if Uzzie gets much closer to 100 he'll expect them to wait for him

pretty much what I expected

amazing how personal prejudices and patriotism can genuinely affect people's view of these sorts of things

 

[Starfighter]

The only real shame this innings has had is lack of comical part-time bowling, although Yasir has provided a good substitute.

Why are they not declaring. Somebody end this wretched game - please? I do not think I can watch anymore of Shah's pies.

Wouldn't want another almost miracle run chase though.

if this was not a game involving Australia my interest would probably be zero

props for actually paying any attention to it at all.

 

[Starfighter]

Oi, Smith! Declare. We'll need the time.

 

[Spark]

Honestly who cares whether he actually hit it or not, none of this will matter in twenty minutes

 

[Spark]

Yo Smith, this is plenty. Declare.

 

[Starfighter]

Geez Handscomb is belting them.

 

[Starfighter]

Seriously Smith, it took them 145 overs to score less on a pitch that had no turn and better pace. This is just giving them an escape route.

Know When To Declare

 

[S.Kennedy]

Smith follows the Alastair Cook book on declarations.

 

[Starfighter]

Stop chewing your nails and declare. This ain't a timeless test.
