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

[Darwin Award]

If nothing else Smith has at least been consistent

31, 45, 26, 50, 38

Consistently throwing it away...

Poor Marnus gotta rippa snorta

Shafique

Batted well first dig in Melbourne but has had such a mare with everything he's done otherwise.

 

[Prince EWS]

Drop from Rizwan to go with all his byes.

Shafique was a gun short leg fielder. Dunno why they insisted he had to be first slip when Babar had been there for a while.


But good to see the Pak team core taking shape here. Salman as a permanent #7. Shaheen and Naseem as the #1 and #2 quicks. Hamza and Jamal playing overseas as the 3rd and 4th seamers. Abrar as the #1 spinner. If they can figure out who their #2 spinner is and see if Sarfraz can work as a pure batsman at 5, and who their best openers are, they should be good.

Looking a good toss to win for Pakistan now

Steve Pork-Chop doing the tea pot, blaming the pitch for his own stupid shot. (Plus that little ball of tape on the sight screen was still playing on his mind.)

Shock horror look who chimed in to the tour thread

This is game on. Can't wait to see how Pakistan mess this up

Probably drop some more catches at first slip.

 

[social]

Probably drop some more catches at first slip.

Remove all slips and have 9 short mid wickets

 

[honestbharani]

I remember once some team removed the first slip entirely to bowl wide of off and had the keeper basically stand at a 3/4th first slip.

 

[Burgey]

Worst pitch in the country and now there’s more ridiculous delays

The square should be dug up. It wa bouncing twice day one ffs

 

[TheJediBrah]

The square should be dug up. It wa bouncing twice day one ffs

The whole city should be dug up

And dropped in the ocean

 

[Prince EWS]

That's a drop.

 

[Starfighter]

They really are making a proper game of putting down catches off Marsh. Unbelievable.

 

[ataraxia]

This is why bowling Agha is a bad idea lmao, he should be at mid-off instead of Ayub, a specialist bat who as it stands has faced two balls in test cricket and dropped two catches.

 

[trundler]

Who coulda seen that coming

 

[Starfighter]

But he's been the most threatening bowler today. Can't be everywhere at once.

OTOH it clearly was not worth dropping Imam for Saim.

 

[Starfighter]

Looked a bit leg side?

 

[ataraxia]

Umpire robbed Pakistan of a run out there IMO
