First Test- Australia v Pakistan

[1910]

Unchanged line up for 'Gabba Test.

 

[Sproj]

Good to see Lehmann hit a fighting 47* to get SA home yesterday, keeping himself in the frame as we desperately need someone who can get second innings runs.

 

[1910]

All pace today I think.
Bat first.

 

[Socnorb]

Bet Lyon will play. firstly great record at the Gabba.
Secondly , has just turned the corner form wise.

Won the toss and batting first
Lyon made the cut (which I think is a good decision)

 

[Sproj]

No surprise Lyon made it, apparently it is his most successful ground worldwide.

 

[ZTop]

Warner gone for 32 off 70
Australia 1-74
Khawaja off the mark immediately with a 4

 

[ZTop]

Khawaja gone for 4 off 7
Australia 75-2

Nice dig from Renshaw.
The kid looks the goods.

 

[Sproj]

So Smith was just caught off Amir but no appeal from Pakistan. So he's not out.

 

[Sirlee oldman]

I really like Renshaw. There's just something about the kid. He's a fighter. Would hate to play poker with Smith though. He didn't look around or give any indication he hit it but must have known.

 

[Sproj]

Some shots from Renshaw just look like a skinnier, less powerful Hayden. That is not a bad thing at all

 

[Sirlee oldman]

I remember an interview with Steve Smith's missus where she said she operates the bowling machine in the nets for him. The interviewer said that was good of her and she said well if she didn't she would never see him. Kind of explains his success really.

 

[Socnorb]

Firstly, got to say, love night tests.
Secondly, this Pakistani team seem very likeable.
