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

[Pete Cash]

Smith will be man of the series probably so they should have given it to starc or Warner

 

[mave]

Starc should have been MOTM

 

[umina panther]

Warner saved the game from being a draw its that simple

 

[mozza91]

Punter got a double ton against India in Adelaide in a match we lost.

 

[Pete Cash]

It's not that big a deal. Nine probably just wanted to only do one interview. I'm sure Warner can live without a plaque.

 

[Bazal]

Could say the same for Starc, tbh. But it's not Smith was grossly unworthy

 

[Meapro Ham]

Well it's a good win and I'm also quite pleased that I laid the draw on Betfair at 1.18.

I am however disappointed that once again we have a dead rubber in Sydney. Something they need to address in the scheduling.

Was driving home listening to it on the radio, Mitchell Starc you bloody ripper!

Truck started honking its horn going the opposite way when we got the last wicket

 

[typicalfan]

Smith should have been motm in Brisbane. Azhar could easily have won it this match.

 

[JJ]

Yeah they haven't thrown this.

Take out Azhar and Shafiq and they've got nothing with the bat on this tour.

They're as vulnerable to a collpase as Australia were vs RSA.

Yep this, was same here

Looks like foxsports is a comedy website now. In the player ratings article, they said that Wade "continues to impress with his glovework."

Wait, Warne put John Holland out there as a better option than O'keefe? fmd

They just put up a tweet of his saying Swepson should be there as the second spinner. The guy is a walking, talking wax effigy of the word "agenda"

Its funny when you see the ratings themselves

Wade got a 5 for for 1 catch and 9 runs
Smith got a 9 for 166

So smith was "only" twice as good as wade

 

[Incorrect]

Hahah f**k warne is a salty bitch

I missed the arvo commentary, what was Old plastic face salty about on this occasion?

lmao. Taking Swepson to India would become the dictionary definition of ruining a kids career.

But I'd like to see Holland there for the lolz. He got absolutely torn apart in Sri Lanka, what would India do to him.

Basically Warne not liking O'Keefe being brought in for the Sydney test, downplaying his ability while talking up every other possible alternative he'd rather see.

Smith bowled starc after tea instead of lyon because the ball was reverse swinging. Warne whinged basically non stop about smith not bowling lyon and said that smith is a fast bowling captain and that steve waugh and ricky ponting were fast bowling captains who didnt use him properly
