Pakistan vs Australia (in the UAE)

[augiewaz]

Wasn't there a test match between Bangladesh and the West Indies where Chris Gayle hit the first ball of the match for 6 off a spinner

 

[ioppolo]

He got reported already didn't he?

Champions League I think, doesn't count towards internationals.

Yep, I remember that. First and only time I've ever seen a 6 off the first ball in a test innings.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Warner: here for a good time, not a long time.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

I'd have given that out.

 

[Bradesmaen]

lol Warner, terrible against spinners.

 

[10Dulkar]

Glorious shot from Rogers.

Have to say even with the pitch playing as it is, it's not a great show of confidence in the debutant fast bowler to open the bowling with Hafeez.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I'd have given that out.

If it bounces first, yes. Its going with the angle hitting on the full

 

[getthefooty]

It's sensible from Warner to attack, really. If he prods and pokes he won't survive.

 

[Pykie]

I'm calling it early, but unless Warner gets out stupidly to a spinner, he will make 200 here. Hes seeing it like a beachball and it's an absolute road...

 

[Black Diamond]

How many times have we said that when Warner starts his innings?

Pretty much a road they're batting on now.
Play every ball on it's merits and it's fill your boots time.

 

[Pykie]

If he's retained the form he was in South Africa, on this road, then it's justified. I doubt he would of played on a pitch like this since India.....

 

[HBF]

Holy hell - just saw how inexperienced Pakistans bowlers are.
12 matches between 4 of them!!

 

[carnthemlions]

Happens every time.
He doesn't average 46 for no reason, guys.

 

[Torz]

They're talking about Warner being in 'prime form' and quoting his last 5 test innings.

We haven't played a test for almost a year!

 

[southernswannies]

Holy hell - just saw how inexperienced Pakistans bowlers are.
12 matches between 4 of them!!

And only 67 wickets between the entire team

 

[ioppolo]

6 (30) and 10 (6).

 

[Torz]

When Younis Khan is your third highest wicket taker - you know you're in trouble!

 

[Smoooothy]

Very handy first class record there from Imran

 

[Bradesmaen]

He averages 46 because hes a flat track bully.

 

[Pykie]

Not really relevant. Tell me what he averages in the last 18 months, his career average has been on a steep incline in the last 12 months, if he has a good summer it will be close to 50.

5 consecutive knocks over 50, with 3 hundreds in there, this against the best pace attack in the world on their home deck. He's improved more than any other player the last 12 months, including Smith.

When Younis Khan is your third highest wicket taker - you know you're in trouble!

If our batsmen really value their wickets, there is no reason why we can't get 500+ on this deck.

 

[Pykie]

I seem to remember his debut ton being on an absolute road

 

[HBF]

He averages 46 because hes a flat track bully.

Not you again.
