1st Test: Australia v Pakistan at Gabba, Nov 21-25 2019

[Bazal]

Running 4, was common 20 years ago, you rarely see it much these days. Shows what can happen when you have proper boundaries that haven't been shortened by 10-20 metres.

Also shows what happens when teams actually put effort into fielding as a discipline tbh.

Say what you like about modern vs classic cricketers but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone from earlier than the Nineties with the arm modern outfielders have on them

 

[JJ]

FMD Warner is such a flog

Pakistan are so f**ked, the batting savant is itching to have a bat

 

[Eelectrica]

Tim Paine would have been proud of that review.

 

[undertaker]

LOL @ Pakistan's fielding. Another blunder

 

[undertaker]

Australia heading to a 300+ run lead tomorrow at the rate Pakistan is going.

Plodistan

 

[undertaker]

Warne, we aren't doubting what Warner can do in Australia; we are doubting his ability to handle a moving ball overseas.

 

[undertaker]

Disappointed for Burns. Still he's got more test hundreds than Bancroft who has yet to get even one.

Bancroft needs to be banned.

 

[Eelectrica]

Lyon would love to come out right now and be the night watchmen. He'd fancy his chances of getting a test hundred.

 

[undertaker]

Those half time interviews in the NRL irritate me. Just wait until the end of the game ffs.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed it.

Mate had a grand on Burns to score a hundred.

Lol

That a grand straight down the throat of the TAB.

The only player pre-'90s who had the arm of modern outfielders at international level (i.e. the ability to bullet them and throw long distance) is Dean Jones. He could peg them 80+ metres from the long square boundaries at the old WACA (back before ropes were introduced there in the mid '90s and then the ground was shortened further in 2002 after the AFL franchises permanently relocated to Subiaco Oval)

Lyon would love to come out right now and be the night watchmen. He'd fancy his chances of getting a test hundred.

Lyon's batting is very underrated. Should be batting higher than #10, maybe used as an occasional pinch hitter.

 

[Eelectrica]

Keep it going Lab. Nice 50, now get another 50 more tomorrow.

 

[Bazal]

Marlon Labexperiment has really reinvented himself as a batsman. A few others could take his lead tbh

 

[King hit]

Just imagine if Warner scores 300 or something tommorow

 

[undertaker]

Just imagine if Warner scores 300 or something tommorow

Well, he's got plenty of time to do it.

 

[undertaker]

72 run lead with 9 wicket in hand.

Anything less than a 300 run lead would be disappointing and another capitulation of our middle order.

 

[typicalfan]

There's gonna be some T20 batting tomorrow.

 

[simmo1]

Pakistan probably could have used a pace bowler with 450 FC wickets at 20 today.

 

[TheParraboy]

He will leap higher than ever before?

 

[TheParraboy]

Wonder if we are 300+ ahead after tea day 3 we look to declare?

or bat on till about lunch day 4, try get 450-500 ahead?

All up to how long Wade wants to bat really
