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

[Tangles]

Swann on BT not a fan of how Lyon is being captained. 4 over spells and off if he gets a wicket.

In the end a top finish to a match that looked dead after that 1st innings collapse.

 

[Spikey]

i've got enough battles i haven't finished

Lyon isn't bowling well. He is consistently bowling 90 kph when he should be 10 kph less. If he starts to throw them up at slower place he would be a much better bowler because he has all the tools for a good Orthodox finger spinner

 

[Spark]

Smith's captaincy of Lyon is awful and basically makes it near impossible for him to get any sort of rhythm when there's so many singles on offer and the moment he gets a wicket he gets whisked off for a quick. But at the same time, he surely has to know which line to bowl after 60 Tests.

Battle Of the piggiest man in the history of pig men.

Smith vs. Yadav for the final is a lock.

 

[Spark]

Sounds perfect



haha you're seriously underrating Maxwell's bowling if you think he can't put up a 0-31 and 2-108 or at least hold up an end in Tests

I don't think he could hold up an end in Aus conditions against decent bats tbh. Would go at 4+ regularly.

and given he'd be batting at 7 and all, you probably want better......

 

[Jono]

Spikey would you be okay with Maxwell coming in for Lyon if it meant Wade out for Nev? Getting the "nice garry" duo out simultaneously works imo

tbh I reckon he'd keep it tighter than Lyon

 

[Spikey]

well of course i would, maxwell is practically a new south welshman at this point

Seriously, I wouldn't, because again Lyon shouldn't be replaced in australia and outside i'd rather proper spinners

 

[Jono]

Maxwell in the team and immediately appointed as captain would be fun.

Maxwell (c) and Warner (vc) would probably the greatest leadership duo ever.

Eh, at this stage, with this captaincy, I do see the value in replacing him with SoK.

You mean like when Watto was captain and Maxwell opened the bowling and batting iirc.

yeah that's the one option i would be ok with. but then sok is gonna spilt his webbing as soon as he gets picked

Nah, I think the next injury booked in is a toss up between broken finger nail or bleeding nose.

 

[Spikey]

For real though all of Steve Smith's haters can suck on these

 

[honestbharani]

hahaha suck **** TPC haters

Not sure what Herath haters have to do with this game tbh.

 

[honestbharani]

Awesome game. Well done Pakistan. Proving a lot of people here at CW wrong. I thought they were done and dusted too after that first innings but they are living up to their amazing and predictable unpredictability. Shafiq, WAG!!! Amir, WAG!!! Wahab, WAG!!! Yasir, WAG!!! Younis, WAG!!!
