1st Test: Pakistan v Australia at Dubai October 7-11 2018

[hineyrulz]

Ridiculous they are using the same old ball, we need wickets ASAP.

23min to tea, surely new ball to be taken for a bit of a spell prior lunch???

 

[TheParraboy]

Yeah that guy in Section 8, Row 3 isn't there today.

Probably couldn't get a seat there, so moved to another section?

Pepsi has been a loyal sponsor for Pakistan for a long long time

Paine's captaincy exposed a bit in this test

Not having a slip in the 2nd session yesterday for Starc, one went down there, lost opportunity

Now not taking the new ball, scared Pakistan will up the run rate, rather than try and get wickets

 

[jargan83]

They're saving the new ball for the last session of the day which was our best session of the day yesterday.

Shame Pakistan will be 4/900 by then

Just get Starc on with the new ball to bowl a few bouncers and get under the Paki's skin. Paine is gifting Pakistan runs with this non-threatening trash from Lyon and Holland.

4/329 lunch day 2

ground hog day for Australia again

 

[Eelectrica]

Should have had at least a couple of overs before lunch with the new ball.

Don't fear everyone, Justin Langer will rev em up over a pomegranate salad...

 

[_snafu_]

sounds like the crowd attendance has halved from yesterday

Just your average Roosters home game.

JL must have worked for the Broncos

Finally taken the new ball, about 20 overs too late.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Tim Paine is the Tim Paine of captains

 

[Front-Rower]

Australia are bullies, they need to tone it down..next minute, Australia are too soft they need to get more aggressive. I’m sure I just heard the commentators say that..

 

[Front-Rower]

Can they Waqar alone. He is with his family ffs

 

[hineyrulz]

What a stupid rule, that was smashing into leg stump. Who cares how far the deck he was down when he wasn't playing a shot.

Exactly. Especially when how far down the pitch hevis doesn't take into account how high or low he was hit.
Should have been given out onfield anyway.

 

[TheParraboy]

wtf isn't siddle bowling with the new ball?

 

[_snafu_]

Marsh is such a shit bowler.
