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

[_snafu_]

Only 370 behind, its still good, its still good.

I laugh when the pundits say "there is still a chance". We are f**ked.

Paine is barely a number 7.

He’s barely a number 11. I thought he was playing hockey with his shot. It was like he’s never held a cricket bat before. Looked clunky af.

Still his technique failings have nothing on Lasagnaplodderscallabroni. Plays outside the line to an offie. With hard hands. And gloves well in front of his pads. With his foot straight down the wicket. Oh my. A spinners wet dream. He’s like a swing bowler bowling to Handcum.

Headjobs shot wasn’t much prettier. He didn’t even have to play at it,I spose at least we know he can play....sort of. Unlike Vege who obviously shouldn’t be there. Maxi, Burns & Renshaw will all be better replacement in the middle order.

Paine was a great player....10 years ago.

More of a chance me winning Survivor next season

 

[hineyrulz]

The Pakis seem to be batting well on this doctored wicket lolz.

 

[TheParraboy]

we caught one

 

[hineyrulz]

That pie thrower Holland with 3, maybe the deck has been doctored.

 

[TheParraboy]

this looks like a waste of a review

 

[TheParraboy]

great review, never in doubt there

Marnus is a gun

No he wasn't.

Tim Paine averages 30.74 from 174 First Class innings.

Labusagna bowls better than he bats I guess

 

[AlwaysGreen]

This Marco Lesbianagne is a helluva bowler.

 

[hineyrulz]

This Marco Lesbianagne is a helluva bowler.

Needs to learn to bowl in a horse blanket and he's the next Shane Warne.

 

[TheParraboy]

Labuschagne looked dangerous, why would you not give him another over or two after picking up a wicket?

 

[Twizzle]

Is there anyone here that thinks.. like I.. that pitch doctoring should be a hanging offence?

we do it,

we prepare fast highways with the amount of bounce that Asian teams take a lot to adjust

its no different imo

 

[TheParraboy]

serious question:

Why is our test outfit a very off white colour, other nations it looks pure white?

cost cutting, saving money for the BBL

Its the brown radiating from the excrement inside the shirt

Was the 1984 side Australia's worst ever? Some are saying this side is our weakest . The Poms said the 1989 side was our weakest yet we walloped them in that series.

77-78 was the year the test team was rocked by Packer defections and we fielded a team of shield players who were like less than the Reserve Grade Aussie team with a whole heap of debuts. They accounted for themselves alright against India before getting flogged by the West Indies and England.

I'd back them to beat this team.
