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

[BeeGee]

I love test cricket so much.

Why the **** is there no second slip in for Yasir? Just bonkers.

Basically nothing Smith has done this morning has made sense to me.

He's pretty much captained like this was the 3rd session again...without realising that this is a new day.

That is what people should be criticising when Pakistan win this game.

You see something new so often, when you never thought it possible. And this is right up there with events I never imagined...

He's also captaining like he still has 150-200 runs to play with. Surely you gotta at least make it a bit harder for them to score.

451.

So no need to get nervous yet...

I think we're ****ed. End of Smith's captaincy career?

 

[Spark]

Holy **** this is infuriating. Put two slips in, set a normal field ffs.

 

[Stace]

Beautiful Yasir.

Massive stakes here for Lyon for his short-term future. Interesting post-play yesterday how Mark Taylor was atypically strong in his criticism of him. If he can’t deliver here and Pakistan do the impossible I can’t see him playing in Melbourne.

I'm thinking he's a probable MOM atm on another hand (no pun intended).

This is an ATG post.

Rest assured it will be washed away and forgotten by wahhhhhs and the odds of a 0.1% chance are better than a 0.001% chance, like the rest of my gold.

I am under-appreciated and wonderful.

Still time for them to get close and nervous. Would be a brilliant win if they hang on.

I don't mind losing my avatar here if it means Pakistan win and Lyon goes for many more runs and takes no more wickets.

 

[Contra]

Man this is awesome from Pakistan. Such an unpredictable team. Reminds me of India's chase at Adelaide in 2014

 

[Daemon]

That was out if it was Dhoni wasn't it. Quickest hands ever.

I'm surprised he took it cleanly. Was literally about to post about a missed stumping being golden.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Still Australia's game

 

[smash84]

man, i can't watch this. This is going to be heartbreak. As centurymaker said. It's the "hope" that kills you in the end as you get near the required score

Field are all over the place

Chappell is absolutely correct
