Pakistan vs Australia (in the UAE)

[Power Raid]

Oh, how I wish Michael would have won the toss...

with 400+ coming up, it seems you're right

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Jeez Lyon has been awful today

 

[davis_756]

The problem with our spinners is they don't flight the ball, they just bowl flat stuff that is easy to defend and can be put away when the bad ball comes. That and none of them seem to have a change up delivery, you can't be a 1 trick spin bowler.

 

[Sprout]

Imagine a newcomer to cricket having this match as their introduction to the sport.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

This is why you need a doosra though

Agree about O'Keefe, but Lyon's failure to get his line right has cost him more so than an unwillingness to flight the ball.

I'm bored so watching ci channel.

Let me know when we're batting. Thanks.

 

[DardySingh360]

That asleep chick did alright

 

[Power Raid]

easy runs and nice four

 

[Power Raid]

103 of 115 balls

this is getting embarrassing

 

[Sprout]

Short stuff seems to be working well Smithy.

 

[Power Raid]

make that 107 of 116

 

[HBF]

And the 400 comes up for Pakistan.
Boy are we struggling..

 

[Power Raid]

woh


111 of 117

 

[MisterMarcus]

Great tactics by Smith.....bowl endless long hops to get the batsman to drown in his own honey....

 

[Doodlesweaver]

So basically you're complaining about our first spinner when you know full well that our spin stocks are low.

This. We are missing players who are injured but none of them are going to come in and spin us to success.

 

[getthefooty]

Smith's bowled as badly as I've seen anyone bowl this match. Can't land anything.

 

[Doc_]

You just know their spinners are going to tear us a new one.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Smith's bowled as badly as I've seen anyone bowl this match. Can't land anything.

Has more wickets than Lyon lol

 

[Aussie_boy]

Should've played Agar . SOK is just bowling flat as anything, I know that's how he normally bowls but toss a couple up. I will wait until the 3rd innings to make a final judgment though.

 

[davis_756]

Give rogers a bowl or doolan or warner or anyone thats not smith, o'keefe or lyon

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Well, I'm glad SOK has got a test match at last, even if no-one else is.

 

[davis_756]

Pakistan have doubled their score in half a day, embarrassing lack of control from the bowlers

 

[Donnie Darko]

I see the spin selections are being questioned. Fawad Ahmed and Michael Beer could be drafted in.

 

[The Speaker]

Even Marsh is getting hit for four now.
