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

[Crazy Sam]

Serves them right, the keeper's been over-appealing for everything today.

 

[CM Punk]

Junaid is chucking, I'm glad the umpire missed that edge

 

[morgieb]

Should be an interesting chase. Most sides should chase 220 in the modern game, but Pakistan's batting looks really bad.

 

[centurymaker]

Australian batsmen are FTBs!
As soon as there's some assistance for bowlers, they look clueless..
No wonder they keep preparing Roads..thats by far the easiest way they can dominate & win.

 

[Burgey]

Won four out of the last five world cups, losing three matches across 16 years.

Every deck a road, every opponent a dud.

Go suck another lemon, seriously.

But... this is a road. Australia have just batted poorly.

 

[Starfighter]

Did that just happen? Seriously Smith you stupid ****ing idiot.

 

[Crazy Sam]

That was a dreadful drop.

 

[Starfighter]

That was appalling. You should never drop such a sitter. I always said Smith only drops the easy ones, and proved right again. He barely laid a finger on it.

Australia missed gorgeous George today. Even a battling 30 (50) at 4 would have been helpful in these circumstances. I'm not screaming bring back Bailey or anything as I don't mind the direction we've taken picking a younger squad, just an observation that I think we'd have scored more if he played today.

Bill Lawry shouts "He's gone!"..

Batsmen cross over for a single.

Is it? I've seen four nuts jag and go up and down in two overs. I don't think it's that flat

 

[vcs]

I think it'll be pretty comfortable after the first 5-6 overs.

 

[NUFAN]

One of the most boring things about match threads is hearing about the pitch being a road when it is clearly not the absolute easiest one day pitch to bat on, making it non-road.

actually george would have run 3 people out and then ran himself out for 20 off 57

Arguably better than Marsh

 

[Starfighter]

That's it, I'm declaring we're losing this one.

 

[Starfighter]

Not that high of a bar to clear tbf

 

[vcs]

Starc-Hazlewood-Cummins is a pretty handy pace attack.

 

[Zinzan]

I hope Mark Nicholas recovers soon, but can't say I've missed his commentary. Bill L any day of the week.
