*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

Khawaja keeps taking singles to get off strike.

Good effort from these two. Is Renshaw okay to play in the 2nd test and if so will a Marsh get dropped? Marcus L looks a useful bowling option

One does not simply drop a Marsh brother. They have to be injured to lose their spot.

 

[Burgey]

I think under the Langerocracy, a WA player can only be replaced by anther WA player.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez that’s a seed. Good bowler this bloke.

You know if we had have bated with this level of application in the first innings we might have not gotten all out for 200 on a road.

75 more overs of this. Has the wicket deteriorated appreciably?

Love a 5th day blockathon.

Nope

Bounce might be a touch lower but not playing huge turn or massive amounts of rough

 

[EmJo]

Corrected that for you.

My apologies, never knew it was so universal. We're I'm from we could and should be a separate country many say we would be better off.

But you didn't.

Should be, but I don't see them dropping him for a Marsh. If Labuschagne doesn't score runs he probably goes back out, if he manages a start or something then Renshaw probably doesn't get recalled.

As far as selection is concerned, nothing has changed in Renshaw's case - not enough time in the middle.

 

[stephen]

Geez, beaten 3 balls in a row.

 

[stephen]

Abbas keeps testing that edge doesn't he?

It isn’t as though either Marsh brother has had much time in the middle this match either

 

[Burgey]

You always hear the coaches and senior players say fellas like the anointed pair are great to have around the dressing room.

So is Nugget Rees, but you wouldn’t send him out at three ffs.

 

[stephen]

Khawaja really should be the captain/ vice captain. Third best batsman in the side when the big 2 return and is the most guaranteed of his place in the side based on form.

 

[Burgey]

Terrific shot

 

[NUFAN]

Someone should pity laugh at Julians crossword dog joke so we dont have to hear it again.

Re-tell it please, for those of us not fortunate enough.

 

[stephen]

We just beat our first innings score with 7 wickets in hand.
