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

Just drop Lyon and be done with it. If he can't even downhill ski like a finger spinner should in a situation like this, just get in someone else.

 

[Gob]

Yeah thats why you dropped Nev ****wits

 

[Zinzan]

I'd still back him on a genuinely flat track tbh.

That's not really saying a lot though is it.

With that one miss Wade has confirmed for so many people what they expected. And on such a big stage (for several reasons). Even if Nevill had done the exact same thing it wouldn't have been remembered as much as this from Wade because people are just waiting or him to make a mistake.

 

[Zinzan]

Poor from Wade, disappointing seeing a miss like that at club level.

You bash Lyon endlessly but defend a guy who has been systematically worse for longer at his chosen skill, made worse when you consider that said skill is more important for the team's success and has cost Lyon quite a few wickets over his own career.

Horrible posting

Amir looked more solid defensively than most of his teammates tonight. Showed some fight with the bat last time he toured Oz too, lasted 89 and 109 (undefeated) in seperate innings.

Reading comprehension again guys

I'm not defending anyone, Wade is a **** keeper

horrible posting

I think Khan is done. I felt so against England but he managed that big innings and somewhat changed my mind but he is a truly great batsman, averages 40+ just about everywhere, with a career of 50+ and should be allowed to go out on his own terms.

Also, the rest of the lads...lol

good usage of the word systematically

Wahab giving a great interview with ABC. "We're not in a little bit of trouble. We're in lots of trouble."

 

[Spikey]

yeah but his keeper isnt wade so how much trouble are they really in

 

[TheJediBrah]

well there's 10 other guys in his team that can't catch whereas Aus only have Wade

 

[Slifer]

Well, I remember at the beginning of this thread when some said it might be a tight series and I said I'd be surprised if it was close. Here we go....

 

[srbhkshk]

The spirit of Kamran is strong in this match. Serves people right for not playing him.

 

[listento_me]

yeah but if you've watched Ahmed recently he has dropped catches and not really scored an innings of any significance. So Wade may not be as bad as you think.

I'm just unable to get over not appealing for that catch lol

edit: the positive is that Amir looked splendid. Caught highlights of his first 3 wickets (dunno how the 4th happened) and he looks top class. The lad still has it, just needs fielders backing him now and obviously the batsmen doing their best to back up a solid bowling uni in general. I don't think Pakistan should be too disheartened...just yet lol

 

[Gob]

Since when did Usman bacame such an awesome catcher?

I don't know what you'd expect of him, "that catch" practically made no noise whatsoever, no one heard anything, there was barely even anything on snicko. If it wasn't for hotspot no one would have known that he hit it at all. Very harsh if you're counting that as something against the keeper.

 

[Johnners]

**** Wade.
