Pakistan vs Australia (in the UAE)

[Kram]

There needs to be a mercy rule.

 

[Arecsa]

Left arm poo baby!

 

[danielnajdek]

We are well on top now

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Another wicket. This is starting to become a reason to bring the good wine out!

 

[Underarm]

Johnson 1-60 odd from 24 or so overs.

Siddle 1-70 odd from 28 or so overs.

So basically Siddle's output in this game is the same as Johnson's.

Apparently Siddle has no pace or variation. So what is Johnson doing out there?

Has bowled one spell all day...

 

[The_Reaper]

Would lol if Starc cleans up the tail and ends up with good looking figures

 

[Smartys Power]

Unbelievable to think we have taken 4 wickets today. And the day isn't even over.

I need a moment to compose myself.

 

[Mateyman]

Hopefullyget this over with sooner rather than later now.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This performace of lyon reminds me of Jason Kreja in the sub continent a few years ago. The guy never saw test cricket again after that

Please be true! Don't get my hopes up!

It's what he does.

saving himself for now. a broken spinning finger on Babar or Shah would be handy

Good stuff from Hadds soldiering on, hope he doesn't cause further damage though.

EDIT: Doesn't look right at all. No point keeping him out there. Can't keep like that.

In an alternate, sensible world where Mitch Marsh was dropped so Doolan or Hughes could be in the team, I think Haddin would have stayed off, as each of them can keep to some level. But they're not in the team, Warner is, and giving up 20 or so in byes is probably worth it to ensure Warner doesn't break a finger

 

[Smartys Power]

3rd new ball due. Unbelievable.

**** me. And you're calling other people "quite stupid"?! Jeezuz. Go and have a think about it in a corner of the room for a little while, mate.

 

[Black Diamond]

Please enlighten me.

And here comes caboose back again after running away last night

And here comes caboose back again after running away last night

Umm, what?!

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Stats link?

Any anyway, Sidds has mostly top 6 wickets, nothing wrong with wiping out the tail.

I did the research years ago and found Lee dismissed more batsmen from 1-6 than 7-11.
Reason? I was fed up with people crapping on about him only getting tail enders out.
You have to remember, Australia had McGrath and Warne at the time who were the best in the business at mopping up the tail enders.

 

[danielnajdek]

Mitch to bowl some chin music.

 

[davis_756]

Umm, what?!

you heard me, man up and respond when questioned don't just ignore everything and continue your bias agenda

 

[caboose]

Please enlighten me.

To claim that Siddle (who has been abysmal in this match ... again) getting Younus out running at him metres down the pitch after making 213 ... means Johnson's presence in the team should be questioned ... oh, forget it.

Just declare ffs.

just go onto howstat: http://howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Players/PlayerWicketAnalysisGraph.asp?PlayerID=2205

Just declare ffs.

Why?

and equally, it's probably worth declaring now just to ensure a vital part of the Pakistani team doesnt break a bone
