2nd Test: Australia v Pakistan at Melbourne on Dec 26-30, 2016

[Tommy Smith]

These commentators talking about Pakistan getting a move on are taking the piss.

Azhar is playing a blinder at a clip of about 45, which is fine.

But according to Chappelli he should be getting a move on by glancing long hops over the slips.

FFS the Pakis only have 289, not 489.

Idiots tainted by T20 rubbish. They should know better.

Great innings from Azhar IMO and Chappell and Healy bagging him relentlessly, fmd

Just shows how much they have really lost the plot.

Starc loves leaking runs

He's a Mitch Johnson clone. I thought he'd moved past it but he's back to plodding

 

[JJ]

Azhar is the best test opener going around IMO, and the commentators seem to hav forgotten this is a test, they want to make the Aussie quicks work hard, and are doing it pretty well imo

 

[JJ]

Amir should be batting 4 by the sound of it, he's embarrassing Azhar

 

[Tommy Smith]

The commentators seem angry at Pakistan for not getting out.

It's ridiculous.

How dare they bat patiently and build a good total when the crowd wants to see Davey smash a ton from 50 balls!

 

[JJ]

Sohail is better than Amir, Pakistan won't give this away or declare, they will want 400

 

[mave]

Maybe they should just declare now, and give us a go...

Chappell is an idiot.

Yeah Davey will have unselfishly used half the balls of Azhar and gotten out already for fewer runs because that's sensible test cricket

Chapelli "All aggression, doesn't care where they go, sensible batting"

 

[Tommy Smith]

f**king Melbourne, what a shit hole.

Chappell is an idiot.

The Pakis should immediately declare. Then both sides should declare at 0/0 and if we aren't at least 100 runs before stumps we should be be made to forfeit. It's exactly what Chappell would've done in his day (the only time worth living).

 

[JJ]

Who'd have thought Bill Lawry would bring sanity to the commentary lol

Loving Waqar

And Azhar is the best opener in test cricket ATM by a good distance too

 

[JJ]

f**king Melbourne, what a shit hole.

Nah it's a f**king awesome city apart from that silly sport they play, I just don't get Australia's national sport

Azhar and Hazelwood have shown their class, and Bird looked good too

Yeah Melbourne is an awesome city - I go there sometimes for the Australian Open and it's a great place to visit - I'm just sooking because the rain is ruining the cricket.

And cricket is Australia's national sport imo. Flogball is only played in less than half the country so doesn't qualify.
