Why don’t you eat sh!t and die?

Are you drunk?

Everyone who is watching the game know it is not WK fault for byes except you

 

[Burgey]

Plainly his fault. If they were that wide they’d have been called. If you knew anything about cricket you would know there is a wide rule. Read the laws of the game and remit to me in due course

Reminds me of how Rod Marsh was so pissed off when Jeff Thomson bouncers hit the sight screen on the full in Perth and were deemed byes....sometimes not all byes are WK fault

Yea they are. The wicketkeeper fails to stop a legal delivery. Failure.

No good.

Oh goody, there's another lot of rain pushing in. They might get ten minutes' play once they restart.

 

[Burgey]

Smith needs to get on with it here

Get a climate etc etc

It was very noticeable in the last test that while the Australian bowlers were bowling mainly within a foot of off stump, visiting teams like Pakistan and the West Indies for some reason decide to bowl everything to it passes halfway along the crease. It's just wasting the new ball.

Vintage example from Hasan that over.

In Test cricket there might as well not be.

Hamza is too slow and is bowling too wide on the crease.

This usually happens because they're worried about leaking runs and thus bowl a more defensive line, no? It doesn't work but it seems a pretty natural thing to do subconsciously.

 

[Burgey]

That last ball to Smith aside, the previous couple of overs from Hasan have been very handy

 

[TheJediBrah]

Smart batting from Aus. This is batting at it's hardest, survive this and hopefully it gets easier tomorrow. Could easily be 5 or 6 down at the close if they don't grind

 

[ataraxia]

Almost a classic Pakistan moment, thinking about reviewing that one. The ball bounced afterwards ffs

 

[Starfighter]

Blewett talking absolute rubbish there. No most of the bowlers these days who don't usually swing the ball can't do it 'when they want to'.

 

[Daemon]

Pakistan have actually been quite fortunate to have had two very good decks to take wickets on and put Australia under a bit of pressure but they've squandered a lot of it away.

 

[Daemon]

Someone tell Smith he can tell which way Hamza is trying to swing it by looking at his right eye

 

[honestbharani]

I dunno whom they can drop but it would be good to see Mohammed Wasim play the next test. He is erratic but I think its worth trying him.

 

[Prince EWS]

Jamal bowls some truly putrid deliveries at times.

I mean so far I'm not really seeing what Mir Hamza has done to keep his place. I guess role-for-role swap would be Jamal though.
