*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[smash84]

wow, woke up to this.

Great effort from khawaja and Aus. I had thought Aus would probably collapse to 250 ao

 

[TheJediBrah]

Just wondering if this counts as "away" runs for khawaja or not because its technically a neutral venue. Would be dumb if it didn't. Finally done something away from home

nah day 5

Bloody cricket aus app saying its day 4

 

[mr_mister]

Khawaja is king

 

[NUFAN]

6/314 is my guess.

Weve done better than I predicted.

Typical CA

Tbh I think "away" for the purposes of such discussion should simply be "not in the home country".

The CA app has been terribad this Test. Crashes every time I try to play audio commentary.

 

[harsh.ag]

This is pretty intense.

 

[quincywagstaff]

Just like 2016/17, Yasir Shah endlessly going around the wicket to little effect; has hardly troubled Khawaja at all from that angle this innings.

 

[Spark]

Looking like a draw at this point. Pakistan should've won but Australia deserve it. Not a dull draw at all.

23 overs is an extremely long time to bat in this situation with sweet ****-all coming in after you

 

[ajdude]

abbas is gonna clean australia up here and i'm gonna have to look at those chompers grinning away aren't i

I was merely following the old CW adage "when nothing seems to work try Gambhiring"

Siddle can block can't he? Seemed to vaguely remember he's played some stone-wall type innings

Yeah Siddle's defence is reasonably good. But Starc's isn't. Lyon's was decent but he's basically gone down the Anderson route recently (though not to the same extent). I have no idea about Holland.

 

[Spark]

Not quite sure how every single fielder around the bat missed that one

 

[morgieb]

Yuge inside edge. Surprised Pakistan didn't realise it.

You weren't really gambhiring tbh. Saying it'll be a draw from here is a reasonable opinion.

One feels it only needs one wicket for Australia to fold though.

 

[harsh.ag]

Are they on course to bowl the entire quota of 18 overs left?

 

[cnerd123]

Legit brilliant effort by Australia this

 

[morgieb]

If they mostly use their spinners they probably should.

 

[trundler]

This should be it for Sarfaraz's captaincy.
