*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[Burgey]

Wait, is Hafeez allowed to bowl?

 

[ajdude]

alright so usman's forgotten how to play spin again

 

[Burgey]

That was a pretty poor attempt by the keeper there. Should have got a glove on that, and given runs too

 

[Burgey]

If these two can put on about 420 we’re an outside shot at this.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Right tactics by Pakistan at start; bowling stump to stump to Finch and trying the offie to Khawaja.

Amazing how awkward Khawaja looks against offies bowling around the wicket; gets squared up and plays back when he should be going forward time and again.

 

[quincywagstaff]

What odds Oz don’t lose a wicket till Tea and still get bowled out tonight?

 

[stephen]

Nah mid-80s rebel tours.

Jeez doesn’t Australia miss Phil Hughes?

I've been thinking about him a lot recently .

 

[stephen]

This entire test match has gone exactly to script.

 

[Agricultural]

What's the pitch like?

 

[morgieb]

What's the pitch like?

Still looks pretty good for batting I think. There is a fair bit of rough but it's hardly falling apart.

 

[GotSpin]

This entire test match has gone exactly to script.

Just wait for the next collapse

Although I’m expecting a jammy 70odd from one of the marshes

 

[Burgey]

What's the pitch like?

It’s fine from a batting POV. Bit of rough but nothing bad at all.

 

[social]

Yeah pitch is fine

 

[GotSpin]

Nice of Pakistan to spread the field

 

[Gnske]

102/10 incoming, calling it now

 

[NUFAN]

102/10 incoming, calling it now

6/314 is my guess.

 

[stephen]

I'm just hoping someone makes a ton, just so Australia have something to take from this test.

 

[NUFAN]

Finch has a test average of 101.

 

[Gnske]

Finch has a test average of 101.

Imagine telling someone in 2012 that this would happen.

Forget that, imagine telling someone that in January 2018.

i would love to see abbas bowl in south africa with that wobbly philander-esque seam
