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

[hineyrulz]

We bat 2 and a bit days for one innings, Pakistan bat 2 and a bit days for their first innings and we call it a game.
Swepson and Lyon to bowl about a hundred overs each.

And Jake Arthur to come off the bench as the X Factor to try and force a result.

Poor Carey getting out short of the ton forcing the issue only for his captain to not even declare....

There's no reason for us to bat a single ball longer than we have now

Nah f..k em

They make these decks then get cocky they got all 10 wkts and we couldnt bowl them out once last test, and say nothing wrong with the deck. Comes a point at times where we need to ditch the "Its how Australia plays the game" mentality. This is one of those times

Bat another hour today would be lovely, or declare at 9 down. So they haven't bowled us out

 

[_snafu_]

Just bat for 5 days. It’s better than a net session.

 

[Twizzle]

Oozie is in some decent form

according to cricinfo there were only 2 overs left so if they declared the day would be over due to change of innings and australia would have missed out on a batting a few extra balls
Expecting an overnight declaration

 

[AlwaysGreen]

If they do bat again this morning there's no point fart arseing around, they have to go the tonk. If the Pakistanis don't allow that by bowling or fielding defensively then don't muck around and declare.

Australia seem too certain that it will reverse.

 

[TheParraboy]

9/556dec. Love it
Could have batted to 600 I reckon

Hopefully bowl Pakistan for under 356 (unlikely) and enforce follow on

 

[Fangs]

Good luck Mitchell!

 

[Fangs]

Outstanding fielding from Cummins and now Swepson.

The rot can start with a run out.

 

[TheParraboy]

How many times has that KFC sign been hit for a 6? To win a scholarship for a kid or something . I reckon the classroom is still very empty and will remain so.

What a stingy thing to do. Shame on you KFC, yet commentators always promoting it.

Anyhow , only 19 run outs to go..

 

[Hutty1986]

Lyon belted for 6 second ball after lunch. Watch him go for 200+ this innings

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Nek minnet the bald wonder removes Pakistan's Bradman!

Game on molls.

 

[_snafu_]

What a catch. What. A. Catch.

 

[Hutty1986]

Starcers goes bang bang

 

[_snafu_]

Starc on a hat trick.

 

[Eelectrica]

Great stuff Starc. Looks like we made the right choice afterall.
Come on hattrick

 

[Eelectrica]

close. Damn good eff0ort.

 

[TheParraboy]

Do we send them in again or bat till tea tomorrow?

 

[Eelectrica]

Do we send them in again or bat till tea tomorrow?

If we knock them over before the 75th over I'd be tempted as Rizwan goes this time.

Getting more tempting to enforce the follow on if this continues
