*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[Starfighter]

This is almost declaration bowling. I wonder if they're conscious of the over rate, but then again the spinner aren't exactly ripping through the overs.

Bat the day out, a lead of 400+ should be good enough.

Not sure this half volley strategy of Shaheen is working. Speaking of strategies, Pakistan have been awful at coming up with and sticking to plans.

Yep, great call. You were one of his biggest fans from early on.

Shame he did not get the double.

 

[honestbharani]

Still not convinced if #3 is his calling, I would prefer him at #5 as I feel his legspin also should not be neglected but what a talent!!!

 

[stephen]

Plumb

 

[Spikey]

Tell me what part of that cunning insight is wrong though?

sobers broke the record with his first ton, but he wasn't Western Australia so he might not exist in James' mind

Yasir to pick up some cheap tailend wickets after releasing the pressure all day yesterday.

 

[Starfighter]

I think the theory that Naseem isn't bowling so Imran can pick up the tail in order to justify his selection may be correct.

 

[mr_mister]

So Pak have 'won' 4 sessions to Australia's 5

Maybe that's a stupid gimmick

Yasir brings up a richly deserved bowling double century.

How on earth did they work that one out?

Ponting gave a session to Pakistan for taking two wickets despite Aus scoring at four an over right through, yet somehow the last session on the first day was also Pakistan's when they lost five wickets scoring at a similar rate.
