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

[Shady Slim]

Looking like a decent call so far.

tbf not to piss on your parade but the history of touring spinners here in recent years should’ve made that a not unobvious claim

Some are at least capable of stemming the run flow, which part timers often struggle with.

In this case he seems to be clearly worse than the part timer with a test average of fifty.

Quietly sitting here fuming at these tactics from Jamal. Ridiculous to put three out on the hook with no slip and a 3-6 field only 40 minutes into the day when the scoring rate was under control.

It's such weak cricket. The wicket isn't that flat either. It's not exactly lively but there's some nibble off the seam and plenty of variable bounce

What is this review?

Looking forward to catching up for lunch today with my good friend and local member

 

[Burgey]

Dutton up next after Elbow.

He’s back from holidays is he? Nowhere to be seen while his (admittedly woeful) State went under water the last couple of weeks.

No comment on his absence from the media boosters though

very good, man of the people

**** me this wicket is junk right now. At least the rest of the Test is sunny so maybe it breaks up later.

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

 

[Spark]

This is absurd

 

[Qlder]

How ridiculous is this. Just get on with it Smith

Head and Bison to come, Australia will pick up the pace, but if you can avoid a large chase batting last. why not grind it out to ensure you get a decent lead.

He hasn't bowled badly, but Hasan has simply not being threatening because he's not fast enough for this pitch. That's why Wasim might have been a good pick, though having him and Jamal risks having two sprayguns and means an awkward question of going without Sajid (but Sajid doesn't seem to be any better than Salman anyway). Mid 120s just isn't fast enough.

Yeah I don't have any issue with the scoring rate. It's a Test match, 2.5 an over is fine

I think he's retired, and nearly 60

But at his peak he would have been a very good pick
