CRICKET Australian tour of Pakistan

[BroncsFan]

If I were the Aussies, I’d just try and bat for the next two days, no point tiring out the bowlers on this road.

Yeah seems the best route... the only alternative is getting 100 or so ahead after lunch tomorrow and having a dig at them to see if you can steal it late.

Just been too much time lost in this match combined with an absolute road that you could probably play all 3 tests on before it starts doing something.

We should absolutely bat until the end of day 4, and hopefully have a lead and try to steal a win. But definitely bat them out of the game completely leaving only 2 possible results.

Unless Head smokes them everywhere (which he could if recent form is anything to go by), there isn't really enough time left to be that far ahead by the end of the day because of the bad light issue.

Well never mind, Head just got out to...wait for it...the straight one.

Yeah, it's an absolute what if situation. And now with Head gone, we should be looking to bat all of tomorrow.

At least this really give Green the chance he's craved, a massive platform on a road against guys that really aren't that good aside from Shaheen.

Thought this too. Hope he finishes N.O, would be a big boost to his confidence.

 

[Sproj]

And Green throws it away, absolute rubbish wicket, he'd be so ashamed of that.

 

[Sproj]

And Carey almost does exactly the same thing, extremely lucky to be dropped there.

 

[Sproj]

One thing is for sure, if the next pitch or two are dustbowls, Australia is going to get smashed. These spinners aren't remotely good and the Aussie bats just throw their wickets away.

 

[Sproj]

And Smith throws it away now. Deadset.

And come on, there is no way this bowler is 35, he looks older than Jeff Goldblum.

 

[Bull Shark]

Maybe I’m speaking as someone scorned by a slew of batting atrocities over the last decade or so but I feel like Australia still has a bit of work to do here to ensure we aren’t a chance of losing this Test..

Test Matches on the sub continent can move extremely fast on the last day

They definitely need a lead here and that may not happen unless Starc plays another little cameo which he is more than capable of.

Aussies all out for 459... spin taking 7 wickets... on an absolute road

To a 65 year old masquerading as a 35 year old.

Aussies all out for 459... spin taking 7 wickets... on an absolute roa

Maybe they were trying to create a result?

 

[Browny]

Boring test is boring

 

[BroncosFever]

Are Pakistan brave enough to set us 250 to win with a session to potentially bowl us out?

I think both are extremely unlikely and this will be a draw but it is a road and if we get down to 20 overs to go with a full shed of batsmen, maybe we have a go
