Pakistan v Australia 2nd Test at Abu Dhabi Oct 16-20

[frankrizzo]

These guys have learnt absolutely nothing from the first test.

Let's face it the first test was saved because our only world class batsmen finally found a way to bat in Asia, it wasn't some amazing effort from the top 6. 3 of the 6 failed in both digs.

Time to double your FC centuries Painey.

 

[frankrizzo]

Interesting to see how Paine responds.

This time yesterday, Sarfraz was in nearly the same position and he took it to the bowlers.

I don't think Paine has the ability to play like that, safraz is one if the great counter attackers in tests.

His other hundred came at the MCG on that joke wicket though

Actually it was the joke of a ground in Sydney...

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Our traditional batting collapse in full swing I see.

 

[frankrizzo]

Crazy how bad this has got from this exact time on day one, few poor overs before lunch, awful bowling from the quicks right after lunch and just got worse and worse.

 

[frankrizzo]

Will be clipping

 

[Wolfs]

Could be worse I guess

 

[frankrizzo]

That didn't even look like it took any of the stump, very unlucky

 

[danielnajdek]

Gives that out yet didn't give out Siddle last night lol

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I can't believe an umpire wouldn't have given the batsman a benefit of the doubt, but not Sundram Ravi, he's a shocker.

 

[SilentHunter_]

* off ump and DRS.

[Aussie_boy]

I'm sorry but that never should've been given out. Very poor umpiring.

 

[frankrizzo]

Big session for Pakistan, most likely a matchwinning one.

Most likely?

Worried about heavy rain?

The Australian cricket team would have to be the most over paid team in the world.

 

[Lynnsanity]

Had Labuschagne not dropped an absolute sitter off Holland, then he wouldn’t have gotten the wicket and game could be totally different, Australia could be batting by now...

Nice way to try and deflect away from how crap Holland has been. Face facts he is a pie throwing trundler.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Not the umps fault. Both Marshes, who have more test experience than the rest of the top 7 (Khawaja aside) to blame, again.

 

[MJG14]

Why is Sundaram Ravi such an inconsistent decision maker? Gives Siddle not out when it was dead plumb yet gives Payne out when it was clipping. Mediocre umpire, yet still not as bad as Chris Gaffaney.

However this is an awful display of batting.

Didn’t he help Australia draw the Melbourne test? I was sure he hit a tonne there but fair play.

 

[vicpride]

Finch looks the most likely to depart this series with a semblance of respect. Who woulda funk it.

Yet Langer still picks the spuds

Who would you pick in their stead?

Renshaw isnt a number 4-6.

Fact is our best 4 is on a yrs hiatus.

5-6 is up for grabs.
And Laub and Head arent hammering the door down- cupboard is bare.

Because he guesses

Lol at the umpire bashing.

Looked out to the naked eye, slight doubt but if umpire thinks it is hitting, and Hawkeye shows it was, that’s out sorry.

Didn't look out to my naked eye
