I hope Ayub digs in here, what a great way to make your debut in this situation.

And how good is Jamal, amazing it's his first series.

Ayub strikes at 70 in first class cricket, could be a bit of fun too.

I’ve seen starc get a few with an in swinging yorker with the red pill. Reckon someone like Ayub would be perfect to bowl that to. Mind you Starc did that a lot in the days when his pace was quicker too

He's been in the mid 140s today.

Pakistan really going Full Pakistan in this second innings.

 

[DanWCE]

That is some stellar commentary on Fox. Sequencing

 

[THE A5]

Not me saying Hazelwood was the weakest link a few pages back and he does that lol

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Every time Pakistan have made the series interesting, they go and have a mini-implosion. Lame.

Don't write them off just yet, their best two batsmen are at the crease.

I reckon in the last 15 years outside the big test countries Pakistan have been the most competitive nation(probably even better than NZ) to come to Australia but they just have seriously comical moments that just undoes all their great work

Been the hallmark of Pakistan cricket for decades. Talented enough to play with the heavyweight cricketing countries, but frequently snatching defeat from the jaws of victory with boneheaded stuff like dropped catches, run outs, and playing terrible shots to gift wickets.

Who came up with this BBL fixture? No Scorchers for over a week and then two matches in 3 days against the same opposition. [emoji3061]

Shocker by Smith, he's not the immovable object he felt like a couple of years back.

Smith is cooked. It's just a matter of how far he let's his average slide before he pulls the pin. Still a top quality fielder though.

 

[RookiePick]

Mitch Marsh being the diffence maker with the bat to keep Australia on top during a test series. Reckon there will be crickets from the haters on the main cricket board.

Critical to keep the lead under 150 tomorrow. I reckon we are ripe to make a dog's breakfast of anything much past that.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

My hot take (though it may come down to tomorrow) would be Jamal MOTS ahead of Marsh.

Feel like Jamal has really cashed in with some bags while Mitch hasn't quite nailed it, missing out on 100s.

 

[FKASC]

Hardie
Pope Hose

Scorchers asked for some of their away games to be bunched together in close succession in order to lessen travel. iirc we play another two away games after this one within a week. Kinda wish the eagles would request the same.

Agree. Jamal has been great. Hopefully he hits a few tomorrow morning

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

I reckon the Hobgod is a better fit at 6 than Connolly, although that leaves the Scorchers with not many bowling options beyond the quicks and Agar (Hardie for some reason bowls quite rarely, I guess because he’s not needed).

 

[FKASC]

Watching Agar is painful these days

Agar for Hobson.

I reckon Cummdog might get it

Honestly think they could justify a three way tie haha.

 

[DanWCE]

Correct

 

[THE A5]

Time to let Agar go and either get an international spinner or go with hamish and bolster the batting next year
