*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[social]

Not out

Pretty clearly down leg

Jhye Richardson is much better than this Richardson. I don't get why he is not in the team?

 

[quincywagstaff]

Yeah, I'm not really sure why they're giving this Richardson an extended T20 run, especially as he's a moderate fielder and tailend bat.

Seriously no-one has commented on Iftikhar looking about 75 years old?

 

[quincywagstaff]

Agar been very impressive these T20s. Hasn't tried to do anything radical with his bowling, just concentrated on accuracy and varying pace to build pressure (along with good fielding off his own bowling) with great success.

 

[Briggs]

This is embarrassing

He's at least 45

dermo abbott playing is almost enough to get me watching. almost.

I think he's been a good white-ball bowler for a while now. Impressed me on Australia's last tour to England when everyone was getting tonked, he held it together pretty well, relatively speaking.

 

[Briggs]

Then people say why I don't show cricket to my girl. It's just a waste of time especially when your team is doing shiz

 

[quincywagstaff]

This half-dozen matches have prob been the best patch of form for Oz in this format ever. Unless something remarkable happens tonight, haven't been seriously challenged in any of them.

hearing that we have to cancel simon hughes as a result of something he said while reading the australian line-up.

 

[Spark]

I see that ~the analyst~ is covering himself in glory doing ~analysis~ again.

Having a blinder too. Bowled really well

Honestly, just when India comes here and win, Pakistan and SL come back and reinforce every negative stereotype about SC batting when it’s above waist height. Woeful, Babar excepted.

 

[Burgey]

hearing that we have to cancel simon hughes as a result of something he said while reading the australian line-up.

What did he say?

 

[Burgey]

This is ****ing terrible. Put a bell in the ****ing thing. Stand there and work it ffs instead of missing cross bats by a metre.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Saw it on Twitter; when talking about Sean Abbott referred to the Phil Hughes incident. Don't think it was malicious but awkward listening to say the least.

 

[vcs]

The Tests are going to be a bloodbath at this rate. This format is supposed to be Pakistan's strength.

 

[Burgey]

Fmd what an idiot. Abbott’s done well to come back at all after that. Some of the **** he copped on social media after Hughes does was pathetic

Well batted Pakistan. Ffs go home.

Well bowled Sabba. Other mob terrible but he bowled well from the get-go

Looking forward to seeing this Hasnain kid. How rapid is he?

 

[quincywagstaff]

That last 15 deliveries was just dire all round. Pakistan missed about 12 deliveries in a row and Australia kept missing the stumps. Richardson & Abbott will never get a better chance for a huge haul of T20 wickets.
