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

[TheParraboy]

Do we try and score quick runs and try and bowl Pakis out cheaply?

Or do we bat normally and make sure our bowlers are not bowling all day, but more importantly put the workload on their bowlers considering its a back to back test

 

[Twizzle]

I'd rather Head over Maxwell.

we'd all rather Head

but seriously, he doesn't spin the ball and would be run fodder in India

his batting is fine but he is not an all rounder at test level

 

[Twizzle]

draw coming up

 

[hineyrulz]

Wade 9 runs

Balls faced was a triple Quiney

But 10283204932949 Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice Garrrrrrrrrrrry's as well.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Nice Head...

 

[hineyrulz]

Not sure why we are still batting but a cracking way to start.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

15wickets for 958 runs for this test.

What a wonderful atmosphere, on a great mcg pitch.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Smith now averages 60 in tests.

Vogesesque type record.

 

[Timbo]

The ease at which Starc is plundering runs shows how f**king useless Wade is.

Sports capital of the universe!!

 

[umina panther]

Match fixing confirmed

 

[8Ball]

lol

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol oh dear!

 

[Twizzle]

if Starc can make a 50, what are our chances of bowling the Pakis out today ?

 

[chigurh]

Don't make our bowlers do any more work. Go for the double ton.

 

[hineyrulz]

Smiffy about to go berko methinks.

 

[Sphagnum]

If the Pakis lose, this is fixed

 

[El Diablo]

The ease at which Starc is plundering runs shows how f**king useless Wade is.

going off what Smith said he won't be dropped yet is going worse than Nevill

 

[Twizzle]

and once again the sports loving Victorian public have stayed away in their droves

 

[8Ball]

Plan should be clear. Declare now 110 in front. Bowl Pakistan out for 170 in 65 overs. Give us 60 runs to chase in 8 overs. Open the batting with Wade to up the run rate. Win with 9 wickets in hand. Drop Wade for the next test.
