One of the great sights in modern cricket, Wadey lying full stretch on the ground looking for the pill after its spilled from his gloves.

Can't wait till channel 9 turn it in to some memerobilia.... Won't be signed by Wade though cause he'll keep dropping the pen ....

Considering this is the 5th day, this pitch aint doing much

It's been a perfect batting wicket.

Credit to Hazlewood but the Pakis have barely got a run from 4 of their top 7 on some seriously flat wickets.

But I'm not surprised because they've been hopeless in Australia since I've been watching cricket.

 

[VictorTheViking]

Was his bowling really that shit or is it just stupid captaincy from smith not rotating the bowlers enough?

 

[Tommy Smith]

I dunno about you guys, but geez I was thrilled and impressed by Paris Hilton's 4 overs this match

You'd hope he was picked purely for his batting because he's clearly not an all-rounder.

To me he has 2-3 test career written all over him.

How about his fielding. Moves like Shane Watson after Christmas lunch.

 

[Twizzle]

oh yeah Gary

nice Gary

sounds like Gary is blowing him

 

[JJ]

Hazelwood is going to be a great

 

[Twizzle]

he already is

Saw a couple of his throws to the keeper yesterday from the outfield and they were all over the place. As if Wade doesn't have enough problems already...

Guess if you consider Lyon a great then that's fair enough

To be fair, Wade can make a throw six inches above the bails seem poor, or at least the channel 9 fan club would twist reality to fit with Wade not being the issue

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol no he has 100 wickets.

He's well on his way to being one of Australia's greatest quicks but wait until he has 250 wickets.

 

[JJ]

Sarfraz has personality and can actually score runs/bat a bit, the Austrslian media must love him

 

[hineyrulz]

he's not a great he the GOAT!!

Get it right FFS!

 

[Tommy Smith]

Interestingly enough, Hazlewood is receiving the praise he deserves with 100 wickets @ 25.

And yet Philander has 150 @ 21 and yet is questioned by some here and affectionately known as 'Pielander'.

Both are somewhat similar bowlers; though Philander gets more swing; Hazlewood more bounce and movement off the seam perhaps.

But both very controlled with their line and length.

I'd pick Haze in a world XI atm easily but Philander deserves a lot more credit for his record.

I know you are a stats man and you need Howstat to tell you what your opinion is but I dont.

Is this the first time plastic spastic and Clarke have commentated together?

I hope its the last.

Pielander goes pretty f**king well

I really don't but hey if it makes you feel super cool and superior to say that then feel free to do so...

The fact is that 100 wickets @ 25 with 4 5-wicket hauls doesn't make you a great of the game.

If you think that then perhaps it's you that struggles with understanding the game of cricket.
