*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[Prince EWS]

His first class average is 20 after 84 matches. Looks like a missed selection.

It's not really that uncommon there though. Hamza is 26 and debuting here with an average under 18.

Don't think Pakistan have put enough on the board. If they bat sensibly, Australia should get a handy first innings lead here.

Yep, indeed.

Hmm, interesting new thing to know.

omfg marnus.

Clownish way to be dismissed in your third Test innings.

 

[GotSpin]

That’s not even unlucky. That’s just stupid

 

[StephenZA]

Gotta love how teams nowadays, when under batting pressure, always seem to give one wicket away through a run out....

 

[Burgey]

Should never be picked again. That’s a ****ing disgrace in under 11s let alone a test match.

 

[Spark]

That’s not even unlucky. That’s just stupid

Lack of attention to detail in current day generation of Aus batsmen really pisses me off

It's a little strange that he's already 28. Anyone know if he'd been ignored by the selectors or was he just not good enough until recently?

He's been in the Test team for a year and a half and gone under the radar TBF. Victim of Pakistan not playing much Test cricket (or much cricket at all for that matter, feels like they've only played LOIs against minnows since the Champions Trophy last year).

 

[GotSpin]

He shouldn’t ever play again after that

We were going along so easily and he can’t be ****ed putting his bat down

 

[NUFAN]

Pretty sure everyone has taken a catch as a substitute fielder, made a pair and then got selected to debut after your teammate got concused fielding where you should have been fielding, only to make a duck on debut, have met Marcuss and you get a wicket every time you bowl and got a run out, dropped a Fakhar only to be run out for your Highest Score where the ball slowly went onto the stumps

**** that's rubbish from lyon too. can't be bothered gritting it out anymore (yes i know he helped save the last test but he's been **** recently)

 

[Burgey]

How could Langer sit there and talk with him? He should have been abusing him as he walked off and telling him to walk the other way.

 

[Burgey]

**** that's rubbish from lyon too. can't be bothered gritting it out anymore (yes i know he helped save the last test but he's been **** recently)

Yep. Piss poor

 

[StephenZA]

Hope they bring Abbas back on....would like if he got his 5 for.

 

[GotSpin]

Lyon just couldn’t be bothered

 

[Burgey]

I mean, I know half the side is out, but how can you get to the point of being a professional sportsman who gets picked for their country and be that ****ing soft n the head game-wise?

 

[Hicheal Michael]

I note Shah's average is now above 30, despite averaging more than 5 wickets per test.

I can't name, off the top of my head, anyone with a similar claim?

 

[ajdude]

can't give this surely
