If this pitch was in the MCG and not at the Adelaide oval for a day night test it would be s**t canned by everyone on here
For my lifetime they have always confused the beautiful ground with the pitch.

where have I said that they played well? F*** me dead mate. At no point have I said anything aboutit effecting the score, the match situation, anything.
fact: data shows in pink ball teststhe new ball does more at night. If this game gets to tonight, 4 out of 4 times, they have been the side in the worse situation to be in
I suppose the next argument will be about their ineptitude in preventing rain on day one
my words were ‘I feel for them circumstantially.’
later I said luck conspired to make things a little more difficult.
hardly the same as saying that with luck on their side they’d have won a test that they are about to lose by an innings, having become the first side to ever do so whilst only taking 3 wickets for the match.
F***en hell.
Sorry to interrupt but wanted to interject with this.
It's a day night match. Every night for 5 days somebody has to bat at night. If you allow the opposition to get to almost 600 in their first innings and you don't fire in your first innings, then more than likely, you'll be batting at night for a few days.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL - feeling for them circumstantially is just another way of saying they were UNLUCKY - but I'm not sure how you can feel for them circumstantially with a straight face while at the same time saying their circumstances haven't changed - that is peak Phatboy!
A few interesting stats
Session 1
Australia 2/168
Pakistan 4/245
Session 2
Australia 1/183
Pakistan 7/156
Session 3
Australia 0/159
Pakistan 9/158
I guess Australia where just unlucky they didn't get to bat under lights more or they might have made 0/1000
answer the question Pauline Hanson:
is it harder to face a new pink ball under lights based on day-night test evidence?
yes or no?
Given it doesn't chance circumstances according to you I would have to answer no.
In any case - the second new ball in their first innings it was still being played in daylight and they were already 8 down - L O f*n L at that having an impact on the match.
Did you see how slowly they bowled in Brisbane? Those 4 overs at the end of day 1 wouldn't have made a difference.against a new ball 3 nights on the bounce, having missed the chance to bowl with a new ball of their own at night due to weather.

As another poster said - if you are getting bowled out for around 90 overs you are going to face a lot of new balls - and given this is a DAY/NIGHT test on average at least half of those will be at night anyway.
Phatties whole promise on this topic is completely irrelevant and a waste of time.
They got smashed because they were absolute garbage - day, night, rain, dry, batting, bowling

lol, what is even the point of this debate?Again, just for those playing at home, I never said it would make a difference.
I’m sure they’d have at least liked the chance, though.

my premise that I feel for them?
What, so you’re not allowed to have sympathy for a sportsman unless it gets run by you first?
tbh I kind of don’t even know any more.
basically at the core of it is the fact that basically anyone can say whatever the hell they want, as soon as a self professed non Aussie fan says they feel for the opposition, it’s accused of being some sort of anti australian troll.
The only players who seem like they'll be decent based on this series are Shaheen and Babar Azam (add Yasir in non Aus/SA conditions).I actually came away thinking that Pakistan have the bones of decent side despite the one sided score.
As a Aussie team what did we learn?
Bowling attack best in the world, knew that.
Warner likes flat decks,knew that..
Found our number 3!
Wade sowed up his spot
Still question marks on Paine, head,
against a new ball 3 nights on the bounce, having missed the chance to bowl with a new ball of their own at night due to weather.
Rizwan definitely showed enough to suggest he could be a good player.The only players who seem like they'll be decent based on this series are Shaheen and Babar Azam (add Yasir in non Aus/SA conditions).
Fair point, if I was Pak I would look at converting him to specialist bat. If only they had a decent experienced keeper (cough Sarfaraz cough)Rizwan definitely showed enough to suggest he could be a good player.
