*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

The Mitch Marsh dismissal was really poor - it was obvious via the bowling and field placement they were going to bowl wicket-to-wicket and he couldn’t even manage to handle that for a decent period.

I don't either, but he had still earned his crack and he's probably better than Head and Labuschagne.
Yeah but that doesn't mean he's in the six (or five) best batsman in the country against Test-standard bowling.

Continuing the 2016/17 analogy:

Travis Head = Callum Fergusson
Maddison = Labuschagne
From earlier this year, Sayers = Mennie
Who will fill the Hilton Cartwright role?
Mitch Marsh actually. Bowls **** to **** all and has a gap between bat and pad that ladies can't achieve despite years in the gym.

pakistan could have declared without facing a ball and still would almost certainly win

Once again the bowlers are at least doing their job. Imagine if we could find a couple more world class batsmen...

Yep that's an ATG lollapse. I didn't expect Yasir to take a big haul straightaway and I'm glad he hasn't bowled too loose. 4 wickets from our actual destined-for-greatness pacer is awesome too. Australia once again have made an okay-ish spinner look like Murali. Great scenes. Hackfeez gone early, that's great too. Might have been Pakistan's day but only marginally if that.

10/170 on a road is definitely Pakistan's day. Australia will be set in excess of 400 with 5 sessions to bat.

I didn't mean that Australia is running away with the game, what I meant was that at least they are putting up some fight in bowling again.

It would be really easy to lose heart and get completely ****ed over being in this situation. But its good to see them fighting back

Border's commentary is pretty good.

Hope Pakistan don't bomb it in the 2nd test like they did in England. One clinical performance followed by an amateur at best performance. Pakistan seemingly caught well and had good plans. That's my take based on the highlights.

Nice lolapse to wake up too. Langer is stubborn and having both openers getting runs probably doesn't help Renshaw. I had my doubts but Pakistan was able to take advantage of our lol batting order.
