*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2019

[OverratedSanity]

Oh for ****s sake. An Australian batsmen players a rubbish sweep shot and gives Yasir a totally undeserved wicket.

You can't give Yasir **** for not flighting the ball but then give him no credit whatsoever when he gets a wicket when he tosses it up.

Warnes knock reminds me a bit of Amla, Vaughan and Virat today.

 

[Burgey]

Nah it's just that you pretty much just did what we infract people for, just sayin'.

Breathing?

I give people very little credit for taking three tests and a session to realise the right thing to do. It shouldn't take that long. It wasn't even that tossed up.

 

[Burgey]

Do I still get to dance on his grave and call him a fraud after he plays an objectively good innings, based on him playing a **** shot and getting out right before a milestone?

Yes IMO.

Fraud.

(good knock though)

What a 12 months he's had though. Left out after making a double for Spud Bancroft and Spuddier Harris, scoring few runs this summer so far and getting recalled anyway after failing in the A game, then making 90 odd. No wonder blokes' heads get ****ed with by selectors.

Pakistan cricket and fans (on reddit not here) are so weird. You’d think the kid had taken a 5fer

How long has it been since an Australian opening partnership - nay any partnership not involving Smith - has reached 150+?

Warner and Burns made 161 and 237 vs NZ in Nov 2015.

This is now their 5th 100 partnership in 20 innings together (with 2 of them doubles)

Sad Burns didn't get his ton but happy he made runs.

I might add that the last time Pakistan were in town Renshaw hit a massive hundred. So this will in no way secure Burns' place. I fully expect Bancroft to replace him in two tests because he's a good bloke (tm).

I will Bancroft-up my avatar for a period of 6 (six) months if this happens. I'll give even you a Test's grace and do it if it (replacement, not Burns shifting positions) happens within three unless it's due to injury.

I almost wasn't this to happen now. Almost. Actually not at all.

Now is that a dropped catch? Interesting to see how you can draw mistakes when you make the batsmen play forwards.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Love to see that this Trent Copeland thing is still a thing

 

[trundler]

Steve ****ing Smith at 4 is a human rights violation in this case.

 

[Burgey]

I love Labushagne having this gear early. Ideal number threes can dig in or be busy. He hasn’t had a chance to be the latter before now and he’s doing it really well

 

[Starfighter]

That is the best misfield I've ever seen hands down.

 

[Starfighter]

Aaaand there's the inevitable drop. Not an easy one, but still.


On replay I change my mind. That was like the one the coach gives you in fielding practice.

 

[Starfighter]

Fancy delaying the new ball to get anther over out of Haris. I wonder if they're trying to make up the over rate?

Now Shaheen is bowling with the old ball. What the hell is going on?

 

[Gob]

Awful day...gimme some TPC tommo

 

[srbhkshk]

I woke up fully expecting Pakistan to be terrible and Australia being 250 for 3, they were 250 for... 1.
