2nd Test: Pakistan v Australia @ Karachi, March 12-16 2022

[Smug Panther]

Nathan Lyon is the biggest fraud to ever wear a Baggy Green

Thats still Shane Watson

 

[Hutty1986]

Swepson just as massively mediocre as his record suggests. Spin bowling in Australia has been absolutely embarrassing since The King retired

Yep. Lyon is meh as f**k but he's the best we have and has been the whole time

 

[Smug Panther]

Get this bum off ffs

 

[Hutty1986]

Watch Pakistan pump us in the third test and win the series. Careers should be ended after this latest embarrassment, but watch the same shit side get rolled out for the next test

 

[Smug Panther]

Why aren't we trying anything?

 

[Fangs]

Time for a change. Get Cummins on.

Even Smith or Labs before the new ball, ANYTHING!

This is a great innings by Babar

Yes and no. 200 full tossers from Swepson aren't that hard to defend

Yes and no argument. A great innings

 

[Hutty1986]

I didn't realise we also got f**ked over by the farcical DRS. Babar should be out already Bet if that appeal is against an aussie, the ump would lift the finger every single time

 

[Bazal]

It's like the Eels forum in here lol.

One upside to being shit...so many folks lose theirs!

Fact is we rely, for some reason, on a bloke with no hair to bowl us home when he's almost never done it in his life. Need a spinner for this, can't blame the quicks on a spinners deck day 5.

Still, get Babar and it changes again

Has there ever been a bowler in test history so amazingly blessed because his country's depth is so awful? The bloke should have played about 15 tests max.

 

[TheParraboy]

Why is Swepson bowling with 2 better leggies in the side in Smith and Labs?

Weird why they haven’t got 2-3 overs each by now, just to have a look what they can do

Hauritz got 17 tests

After Lyon played 17 tests , it was uncanny how very errily similar their stats were.

says it all really

Consistency is Swepson's problem. He's created chances that weren't taken or given, but he's also bowled too many full tosses and too far outside of leg.
We needed to not miss out on those catches really. He could have had Babar Azam out twice had the catches been taken, so there's that.

He's no better than Lyon. The question has been well and truly answered here imo

Mitch Mcgain with another rushed over of innocuous shit

He's on debut. Been ok, would like to see if he improves with a few Tests experience.

Would be a miraculous thing for him to spin us home himself in his first ever Test for us in conditions he's never seen...esp when the bloke with 400 test wickets can't do it.
