[Burgey]

Jeez Pakistan, you're supposed to put your best fielders at point ffs.

They did.

Who is their best fielder though?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

South Africa are probably the best ODI side in the world atm. NZ were terrible in the Chappell Hadlee, Australia lost to ODI minnow Pakistan (and struggling again), and India have collapsed against Chris Woakes.

You'd hope it's not that bloke.

Wasim or Waqar?

 

[Burgey]

Imad Wasim.

Fmd that's a great shot, working that through midwicket.

 

[Burgey]

He looks like a Newtown hipster barrista. Get a hair cut ffs.

Yeah, he's mad.

Because, like a poorly set field, it contains many silly points.

 

[Zinzan]

Australia can afford to allow the RRR to drift out to 7-7.5 with 20 remaining, provided they keep wickets in hand. There's just no rush for these two.

How blessed is Handscomb

Should have been out second ball

I think the 1976-77 Pakistan side fielded as well as this one. Drop catches, terrible ground fielding, fall in behind the ball instead of diving. Village. Do they even practice?

IIRC the theory/excuse in those days for SC sides is grounds for domestic cricket were so bare & concrete-like that they were never encouraged to dive & commit. But they can't really use that these days.

He's in form. When he's out of form those will go against him.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Almost all the Pakistan bowlers seem a little "chucky". Not sure how close they'd be to 15% but disconcerting nonetheless. I wonder if it's something that just gets coached over there or just a habit.

 

[Burgey]

This is as tinny a knock as you'll see from Handscomb.

This is a silly innings
