*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[Starfighter]

I'm by no means an over rate Nazi, but nine or ten overs down at tea on an uninterrupted day two when one of your front liners is a leggie is really bad.

Also, this really shows how any middle order looks formidable when your openers put 100 plus up.

Sweet shot there from Burns.

They probably did lose about a whole over for that farcical runout replay tbf.

Wahab is awful and should have been dropped for good ages ago.

 

[veganbob]

Australian pitches are awful for test cricket.

Warner’s fine. Be extremely silly to drop him at home, especially for the current lot.

I dunno why we’re expecting so much from the Pakistani bowlers. Other than Abbas I fully expect them to **** the bed.

2/2 - bed has officially been ****

As an aside, Channel 7, one of Australia's TV broadcasters, just showed 21 no-balls that have not been called today! That's 21 runs lost and three and a half extra overs. Incredible.

Bring in automated front-foot no-ball calling ASAP.

Wow. Maybe Amir’s no ball was a coincidence after all.

 

[Burgey]

lol 10/240 day one is an awful pitch apparently.

 

[DriveClub]

Wow umpiring standards are just woeful

It's the Pakistan bowling. We bowled them out for 240 yesterday if you were paying attention.

 

[Starfighter]

Score some runs overseas you ****

 

[trundler]

Well that's an all time brutal drubbing.

 

[Prince EWS]

Wow umpiring standards are just woeful

Not unlike Daemon's posts.

 

[trundler]

Well knowing exactly what'll happen beforehand doesn't soften the blow

 

[trundler]

Not unlike Daemon's posts.

And your face

I'd ask how you can miss 21 no-balls in a day, but there was that thing with Sandakan last year I think. That will influence matches.

 

[Spark]

I mean you don't get to make just 240 in the first innings in Australia then complain about flat pitches. If they're so flat, make some runs on them. Pakistan just have no threat in this bowling lineup at all beyond the odd Naseem delivery.

The WWII death march?


FMD Joe Burns - makes 200 in his last test, gets left out for the Ashes in favour of two blokes who'd done worse than him in the past and who he couldn't possibly have done worse than in said Ashes. Then comes back to start this summer, doesn't really make too many runs, misses out in the A game and they recall him on the back of loads less runs than he'd made before the Ashes. ****s are useless.

Yasir didn’t learn anything from his previous paddling here did he

Pretty sure veganbob didn't bat in the first dig tbf.

I thought about making that joke when he debuted against us in that awful whitewash series. I still had some standards then though.
