2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan at Abu Dhabi Oct 30-Nov 3, 2014

McGrath was great in the sub continent.

Johnson is being overbowled due to a lack of penetration. Could affect his performances here v India.

McGrath was consistently on the correct line and length and just did enough to get the edge or beat the bat. Then you had to contend with his bounce.

If you're consistent with your action you will be consistent with your line and length.

The Australian bowlers don't have that and I agree with Notch. If he falls out of form it takes a lot of time for him to recover it, no matter what the pitch does.

Watching Siddle Plod on in reminds me of Darcy Plodduck taking a hit up.

Poor old Hads is struggling big time, might have played his last test sad way to go.

Can't believe we picked 3 quicks and Marsh on this deck :lol:

Haddin off

Warner with the gloves

HAH could have been handy had he been in the 11

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I would have given the gloves to The Show.

 

[BunniesMan]

The selectors should be sacked for this monstrosity of an XI. Too many quicks, not enough spinners AND not enough real batsmen. And they're paid to pick teams for a living. Ridiculous.

 

[BunniesMan]

That was an awful ball from Starc. Way too short and way way too wide. He has been easily our worst.

Haddin off

Warner with the gloves

HAH could have been handy had he been in the 11

HAH is on the field at least. That's better than nothing. Would be great if he picks up a screamer.

 

[TheParraboy]

stumping chance missed by warner

bring back wade :sarcasm:

 

[hineyrulz]

Oh dear!!

 

[umina panther]

Is the 12th man not allowed to keep?

 

[TheParraboy]

great catch by warner of starc

pak 3/332

 

[hineyrulz]

Thats a good catch from Warner and Starc gets the breakthrough.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I don't believe the 12th man can keep. Not that Fruity can keep anyway.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Impressive innings by Ali. We now have to strike again quickly, preferably getting Younis.

 

[hineyrulz]

HAH looking impressive in the covers.

 

[lockyno1]

Warner already looks better than Haddin did yesterday behind the stumps

 

[AlwaysGreen]

HAH looking impressive in the covers.

Bunniesman would love him under the covers.

 

[hineyrulz]

Bunniesman would love him under the covers.

:lol:

 

[umina panther]

Warner is our only batsman so it's probably not the best idea to have him keeping for the next 6 hours before he'll have to bat for 6 hours

 

[Mr Spock!]

Meh.

We'll still beat India 4 zip.

Pakistan with Younis must be near number 1.

 

[umina panther]

Starc is the Adam Docker of cricket. Kinda has a little bit of talent but never rep class
