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

[GotSpin]

Gettin squared up again. Pretty concerning

 

[Burgey]

Ffs jamal


The half tracker was lucky but the marnus one I'll give them a bit of credit because they had a leg slip in. Clearly a plan.

Yeah fair point. I always just think it’s such a crap way to get out. Even if you could have a cordon of leg slips I’d probably still think that though.

Couple of crackers from Hasan first up this over to Smith. Send one they’re checking is a peach

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Slip cordon should come up

 

[Burgey]

Idiots in the crowd booing. Fmd Pakistan didn’t even appeal. Typical Victorians.

 

[OverratedSanity]

First slip being that far behind wicketkeeper always been a pet peeve of mine. Makes little sense.

 

[morgieb]

Did Rizwan miss one? Maybe Burgey was right lol

 

[Starfighter]

The Gary Palmer technique really isn't working for Smith. Looks like he's going to edge nearly every defensive shot.

Even Rizwan standing far back. Hes collecting them below his knees

 

[GotSpin]

Honestly smith is batting like a tailender right now

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is close to the best hasan Ali has ever bowled. Seriously impressive all test.

 

[Skyliner]

The eccentric Smith has convinced himself (or is he trying to convince the people watching?) that the pitch is playing all sorts of bizarre tricks.

 

[Starfighter]

Why the absolute **** is Shafique still in slip? That's a catastrophe.

 

[nightprowler10]

Are you ****ing kidding me.

All downhill now.

 

[Burgey]

They’re consistent aren’t they? Finest tradition of Pakistan fielding continues. Mark Waugh deadset having a conniption at that technique

 

[TheJediBrah]

It's because getting caught at slip is an edge, and you have to beat the batsman to get it. Bowling down leg with leg slips is just lazy and largely up to luck whether the ball goes to the fielder or not

Yeah this is his 3rd drop in the series by my count. ****ing infuriating.

 

[ashley bach]

Not surprising that happened next ball.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Typical.

Do you live here?

 

[King Kane]

Another shocking drop from Shafique, how is he fielding at first slip? Surely Pakistan have someone that can catch better than him there.
