[Gavin Excell]

Poor Lab so focussed on his average
Will be shattered even though Aus will win

Fantastic shot through extra cover by Smith.

 

[MJG14]

Lovely shot.

 

[Silver Tongue]

Nah he's not Warner

You mean he doesn't know the cartel secrets of sandpaper application?

 

[Gethelred]

For a bloke whose biomechanics are wrong, he manages to get the ball above 135 pretty frequently does Jamal.

Khawaja was watching Iman saying “you recon that’s ugly and boring”…watch this

 

[Cmarsh]

Never been to Perth, but are there better things to do there on a Saturday than watch test cricket?

Really poor crowd.

Crowd has been okay today. Bear in mind let’s be real no one wants to watch Pakistan bat!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

The obsession over scoring rates continues.

We’re not even at the end of day 3 and we’re 250 in front.

 

[danielnajdek]

What's Hayden talking about LMAO. We have lost 2 wickets from poor shots.

You're having a laugh if you think thats an ok crowd

 

[Trojan90]

The Big Dos can’t understand the Aussie batsmen trying to stick around after being 2/5.

It is fine. Not great but it’s fine. Be better tomorrow as we are batting

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Haydos has booked a fishing trip day 5

 

[Donakebab]

Haydos used the word bossing. In 2023.

lol

Within reason yes. Should still be rotating the strike.

 

[010203]

According to Big Dos - scoring at 4.9 an over against the West Indies in the 2nd innings is inspirational cricket.

 

[southern_crusher]

The crowd seems pretty pathetic for a Saturday

 

[FredLeDeux]

There's not many of them, either

 

[Westend]

marnus still getting treatment ..he didn't look too happy

People need to realise it’s not England or India for starters and would you honestly have wanted to watch Pakistan bat most of the day?

Going to the cricket is about getting pissed with mates who cares which team is batting or bowling

Not if you actually want to watch the cricket. Why get smashed at the cricket when you can do it at 1/3 price at the pub

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Babar or Shakeel would have been good to watch if they had kicked on to big scores, Imam batting was like watching paint dry though.

Babar is the only one you’d want to watch

 

[Westend]

I do get the impression though with our side in the modern era when setting up scores in the 2nd innings when we are on top....we seem just to bat time ....I'm probably wrong but thats the feeling I get

Under punter and the greatest era we had ...once on top we win try to up the ante and score big in the 2nd innings when on top to give us enough runs plus time/overs to bowl the opposition out in the 2nd dig

It just seem like we are happy to bat time and be happy with whatever total we get

again I could be wrong
