***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2023/24

Also I just don't buy that he's bowling 10km/h faster than Cummins.

Even at his fastest he's always been floaty.

Salman with back to back fifties after I called him a no rounder, good to see him respond to my criticism, obviously it got through to the Pakistan camp.

He's been Pakistan's MVP in tests over the last year and a bit.

Looks like these guys wanna get out quick so they can have a bowl.

 

[Starfighter]

Right on cue he gets out, Starc should be thanking me for that wicket.

It might be better for Pakistan if you weren't commenting in this thread.

That's 1/4 for Australia's reviews today.

For someone who can allegedly bat, Hasan has looked like a genuine no. 11. Can't play bounce to save his life.

 

[morgieb]

This tail against bounce is ghastly.

 

[Starfighter]

Hamza's bat has rather few marks in the middle, but plenty on the edges.

 

[Spark]

This tail against bounce is ghastly.

Most tails are tbh. There's a reason they always bowl like this to the tail. Usually - not always, but usually - they just chip it in the air and even if they don't they don't score any runs anyway.

Another 5 for the king.

 

[Spark]

Hahahaha that's dreadful

 

[Starfighter]

Catastrophically lazy bit of fielding

This is what I mean with Hazlewood. If you know it's going to be there then it just sort of sits up nicely compared to Cummins' bouncers.

 

[Gob]

This is the bad side of Cummins's captaincy

 

[Starfighter]

This is what I mean with Hazlewood. If you know it's going to be there then it just sort of sits up nicely compared to Cummins' bouncers.

It's pretty inexplicable for someone so tall with such a high delivery. McGrath bowled about this pace, slower at times, yet always got it to lift threateningly. Haze just doesn't seem to have the pace off the surface.

 

[morgieb]

This is dreadful. I got it earlier but it's gone on for a bit long and just not Hazlewood's go. Wood at Headingley levels.

I always thought jamal was just a daniel sams esque t20 bits and pieces player but he's been really impressive this series. Few handy knocks with the tail and taken wickets at a decent average.

 

[Spark]

I might have been wrong calling this a non-pudding before...

 

[Starfighter]

The way this pitch has behaved, with balls keeping low on the first day, it could have been real tricky for us batting last if Pakistan had scored about 350 and taken the game deep into day 4. Sadly several of the batsmen abrogated their duties, leaving them well short.
