*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

God they've made batting look easier in the day this test haven't they

Not minded how Shaaaaaaan Masood has played here. Technically he looks patchy at best, but I like his approach and temperament

I liked that I asked if we should be worried about Lyon's form and that evolved into "drop him, but who do we replace him with" conversations immediately.

 

[Prince EWS]

I don't think Lyon is in any danger of being replaced as the #1 spinner but I am slightly concerned that the combination of the selectors' desire for four quicks at Perth, Mitch Marsh's injury and Lyon's poor form may see him dropped for Neser, Pattinson or Richardson at Perth, with Lubbers rolling his arm over as the fifth bowler.

He'd be back for Melbourne even if that happened but it'd be a mistake IMO.

 

[Burgey]

He seems pretty grateful to be getting a bowl tbh.

Reckon Haze is a sly **** bloke tbh.

You have said this a few times now. Wouldn't say I agree, but I can kinda sorta see where you are coming from.

 

[Gnske]

Reckon Haze is a sly **** bloke tbh.

Yeah I reckon he's the type of bloke who would for sure be punching Balinese people in the face during his off-seasons if he was an NRL player.

 

[Burgey]

I'd like an Oxford for every ball he's bowled that's hit the splice of a little Pakistani's bat this series though. Seems like everything is hitting the badge.

 

[Prince EWS]

Reckon Haze is a sly **** bloke tbh.

He's kind of well known as someone who's extremely quiet off the field but blows up on the field at the slightest thing.

You can take this to mean he just filters his ****iness, or take this to mean he's a good bloke with of white line fever. But either way you're not far off I don't think.

This is the **** Bertus or even Sabba should be telling you that you filter to us though, ffs. Relying on my failed Tassie export mate is sooooo 2015.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah I reckon he's the type of bloke who would for sure be punching Balinese people in the face during his off-seasons if he was an NRL player.

I'm going to put it out there that he's actually a much worse bloke than NAS and that the latter did nothing wrong.

Fight me 1v1 outside a Bali pub if you disagree.

I think I'd have to be a bigger idiot than the guy who took on NAS to want to get my head ripped off by you outside some monghole in Kuta, to be completely honest PEWS.

 

[Burgey]

Best Lyon has bowled since early in the Ashes, this. Quality spell

 

[Spark]

That is a truly gormless shot.

 

[morgieb]

Disgraceful shot given the dinner break was at the end of the over.

It looks like Lyon's been reading this thread though, his best performance since the Edgbaston Test.

 

[vcs]

The last 3 are rabbits anyway. Going by the evidence of this match though, Abbas deserves promotion over Afridi.

 

[Burgey]

Feel sorry for Chris Izaak though. The only Pakistan bowler whose reputation has been enhanced this series

 

[mr_mister]

Gideon Haigh is the definition of a pencil necked geek

 

[Burgey]

Good decision writing course coach though

 

[morgieb]

Jeez, that's a bad way to finish the game.
