[Pykie]

Jesz, he's a nice looking batsmen.

 

[philreich]

Great footage, I remember big Inzaman diving into the crowd and getting his punch on once

Remember listening to Mahatma Coat on Adelaide radio one day. The interview included a discussion of Pakistan cricket. One of the interviewers asked Mahatma, "How come there are no youngsters coming through in Pakistan?" Mahatma replied, "Inzamam ate them."

 

[HBF]

Agree Heals. Bat to tea at the earliest.

 

[Jeremias]

Agree Heals. Bat to tea at the earliest.

I am at a loss as to why we would consider declaring today. Makes zero sense to me.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Hawke downing that as easy as you like

 

[frankrizzo]

I would bat nearly the whole day, the pitch is dead and we won't enforce the follow on so make the bulk of the runs now rather than early on day 4.

 

[philreich]

Lyon and Hazlewood might as well be playing golf today - they won't be needed in the middle of the SCG.

 

[HBF]

Another missed chance.

You'd imagine we'd declare before stumps tonight.

 

[HBF]

Completely agree. I wouldn't declare either, unless they want to have an hour at them before stumps.
Wouldn't even consider declaring before then.

 

[Underdog]

Another missed chance.

Would have got his toe back in IMO but it's debatable.

 

[HBF]

Bill and Waqar to close off the session. Brilliant.

 

[Drummond]

Cartwright struggling a bit against spin. Concerning.

 

[HBF]

As fresh as paint.
That's a new one Bill.

 

[BarneyBent]

Cartwright struggling a bit against spin. Concerning.

Eh. Good test of character and temperament. Young allrounder on debut, dominant position in the match, this is what we want. If he can fight through it then it will give him a lot of confidence.

 

[Biggie]

Hilton looking solid

 

[Scorpus]

That was a poo ball easily dispatched

Just read a newspaper interview with Greg Ritchie from 2012.

Geez that was good for a laugh.

 

[Kram]

"Good athlete"

Such a wasted talent.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Pakistans fielding is poxy.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Great shot Hilt, breaking the shackles.

I don't feel like he needs to dash though, just get through to lunch and then reassess.

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Bat til 650

Bat til 650

Stumps then?

Maybe throw them in for 20-30 minutes before stumps and have a crack at them - would have 600+ on the board at that point. Wouldn't worry me if they batted out the day though.
