2nd ODI: Australia v Pakistan at Melbourne on Jan 15, 2017

[Wizardman]

Will be very tight. I reckon Aust by about 30 runs.

 

[hineyrulz]

I think it's enough. I reckon it'll be a nice close game and would have like Faulkner to grab us a few more runs but I think 220 will be enough.

Of course we have to bowl well. But it looks like a dreadfully slow wicket so pressure will be paramount. Force up the run rate, it's too hard to score quickly

This looks like a wicket for Haze IMO.

Haze and Faulkner I reckon

Haze will vet variable bounce, Faulkners slower balls will stick in the wicket

You know your cricket side sux when you keep picking Umar Akmal

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Milquetoast Marsh never fails to impress me.

And Maxderp...lol.

Good luck India is all I will say 0-4 arse rape.

 

[BunniesMan]

Lol. It's every bit as shit as the test pitch.

There's been some variable bounce. Not a huge amount but more than the test.

 

[BunniesMan]

220 all out. It looks like an ODI scorecard from the eighties when Taylor and Healy were plodding around in the pajamas.

 

[Hutty1986]

What is doing with Smiffy's catching?? Drops the sitters,catches the tough ones..

 

[hineyrulz]

Gee Bill is getting as bad as Daryl f**king Eastlake!!

 

[8Ball]

Disappointing from Smith..Too many of those this summer

 

[hineyrulz]

The Biscuit is getting poor old Bill moist.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Disappointing from Smith..Too many of those this summer

Wadeitis is contagious

Healy is the worst commentator in world cricket, deadset

"At this rate they'll score 50", yes Healy, because Australia were 0/10 after 2 as well.. f**king mongoloid, you were a rubbish batsmen and you're an even worse commentator, if Gilchrist was around any earlier you'd be wasting in a pension home

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Is Bill determined to say "He's gone" at every opportunity? I keep thinking wickets are falling.

 

[Wizardman]

You know your cricket side sux when you keep picking Umar Akmal

If there is a match fixer in the world that hasn't been caught yet.....

 

[hineyrulz]

That looked a good shout IMO.

lLOL!! Gilchrist was around for about 4 years as a keeper before Healy was replaced. Healy played a year too long but he was easily the best keeper i have seen. He used to go whole summers without missing chances.

Shit commentator and clueless when it comes to judging players though.

I agree...in terms of the skills involved in wicket-keeping, best I've ever seen.

Some people really need to let things go in regards to comparing wicket-keepers to Gilchrest. In the history of cricket, there have only ever been two wicket-keeper with whom I'd class as exceptional batsman..Gilly and Dhoni. Alec Stewart was also very solid. Every other wicket-keeper in history really scratches for their runs.

Sangakara? would've made any side in world cricket on batting alone
