Pakistan vs Australia (in the UAE)

[Seagrave_Holmes]

worse conditions?
I thought this pitch was supposed to be a lifeless graveyard of a pitch.

Starc made 99 on one of those dustbowl mine fields in India, way worse than the wicket in this match which makes this series loss feel so much more dissapointing that the India 2013.

i doubt he has ever come in to bat at first or second drop in his life in a first class game.
its what his third test.
& he would not of had a bat in a while in a match.
in that time he had out in the middle he looked untroubled, far more comfortable than most of the other batsmen.
his problem is that he threw his wicket away, he needs to learn how to build an innings

And that's the only thing he's get s**t for

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

sorry i stuffed that up..

even worse was maxwell due to come in at 3.

Hackswell came in at 4 this innings.

 

[ozph1870]

They didn't put Smith in at 3.

yep, i got that well and truly wrong. i didnt see much of the first two days and for some reason i thought they were batting smith at 3.

 

[ozph1870]

Hackswell came in at 4 this innings.

only because of the night watchman.

We need to declare tonight, get there lead down to almost 150 and then try to pick up a few wickets in 5-10 overs

Ideally have them all out with a lead of no more than 350 and slowly chase it over the last day and a bit

EDIT: didn't realise it was already tea time

 

[western royboy]

Some of our batsmen just need to pull their heads in. Why not just bat time?

Because it is a lost art amongst some of these imposters

Marsh showing some heart.

Jimmy Higgs got K.D. Walters to a ton on the MCG, and he didn't know the handle of the bat from the blade.

Or Alderman helping Hughes get to his 100 on the MCG goat track.

Against the Windies of all sides.

Delusional.

Starc has a good batting record. Surprised to see him come in some late.

 

[Donnie Darko]

That's the point

Easy ,son..
The way the post was written implied that things were hard here . You can never under-estimate scoreboard pressure .

 

[damochandler]

Delusional.

Bomber fans are hanging on his every word. So sad

 

[The GOAT]

Marsh showing some heart.

Yep, so is Siddle, good to see.

Starc to come in tomorrow and do an Ashton Agar, and we're back in the match.

Or Hal Hooker joining Alan Kippax at 9 for 113 in a Shield game against Victoria. Kippax asks Hooker to hang around for a while. He obliges: NSW all out 420.

 

[Cleavy]

is anyone here going to watch Crash Craddock's attempt at "Open Mike"? Crash came across as a bit of a nuffy during the quiz segment.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

For those who think Marsh isn't ready for Test cricket based on his inexperience/stats, look at this knock. He's adapted against the spinners and without having batted irresponsibly has a terrific SR. He is something special.

 

[The Speaker]

i remember when people were sooking about Marsh's selection

 

[King Elvis]

Exactly what I was thinking. Seen Clarke get bowled like that a few times in recent years

Haven't seen it yet - but on that, I'll guess he left the gate open, bowled between bat and pad?

 

[james brayshaw]

Funny stuff

yeah, nah.

 

[davis_756]

And that's the only thing he's get s**t for

I think we would all love Maxwell to grow some Rogers grit, then we would have a player

Could you name a decent Aussie cricket rag journo.............Nicholson, Carlton, Crash??

Barry Nicholls takes on a new sheen against these blood clots.
