[dogs105]

This is Test cricket.

Wasn't maxlilly talking about the shield game?

Sorry, wasn't following the Shield.

 

[hey shorty]

Need to get Babar in and out against quickly, they tend to crumble when he gets out.

 

[Concussion test]

Lyon is looking very dangerous now

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Pakistan can't score nearly 4 per over, so we can't lose this game from here.

However, can we bowl them out, particularly if Pakistan are not chasing a game.

Will have the last session with the new ball.. which we know we can go through their tail quickly if we can't just get through their strong top middle order.

 

[spenze]

If we don't get another reverse-swing burst from Starc, we'll lose this comfortably.
I don't think we'll win by grinding them out slowly.
It was a poor declaration against all test traditions.

Still looks like a good deck to bat on, think we're cooked.

Terrible declaration. Absolute amateur hour stuff.

This will be a historically bad decision - they'll be bringing up Australia losing a test series by declaring too early on a flat track for years.

This will be as demoralising as the Brisbane loss to India.

LOL

Barbar "No way dude, that last review is mine..."

Crazy they burnt one on Fawad who was plumb, then not use one on Rizwan.

Into the tail now with plenty of overs & a new ball.

In twenty years the world really has changed, now the visitors get the dodgy umpiring.

The umpiring has generally been good through this series.

If the teams didn't burn unnecessary reviews, they would have plenty left for the odd poor call.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Shane Watson would have been proud of that Fawad review

And how was the carry on afterwards?!

Mate... you were PLUMB. Back pad below the knee roll.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Surely get everyone in around the bat when Sajid is on strike

Will be interested to see the crowds for the one dayers and T20s

There's been about 35 people there across the 3 tests (all armed with vuvezelas)

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Head has been absolutely atrocious his series.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Trav will breath a sigh of relief there

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Trav will breath a sigh of relief there

Smith too given how many he has dropped.

 

[FR0GGY]

Who will get there first, buddy or the aussies?

Yeah, I have been switching channels. Back to Buddy watch.

So what's peoples projection on Cummins?

Greatest Bowler ever? Behind McGrath? Behind Warne?

196 wickets at thus stage in 41 tests at 21.38.

Missed too much time hasn't he to get anywhere close.

 

[spenze]

What an effin' catch

 

[FR0GGY]

This result was never in doubt was it?

Have him on par with Lillee...who was a great bowler

Bloody good win. Some of you guys have been spoilt by how easy a test series win away is against sides like England and the West Indies...all away wins are very impressive. Top effort by the boys today, even after coming under the barrage of mango Red who said...and I quote...

They shook off those words and still won

A few more overs of Travis Head would not have hurt.
