3rd test: Australia v Pakistan @ SCG Jan 3-7, 2024 (Warners last test)

Indeed, my observation was the teams got along well, respected each other.

Now for 10 months of intense catching practice for Pakistan, they have the makings of a good team.
Poor fielding and a few poor sessions aside, Pakistan were on a similar level to Australia. Sadly for them they were made to pay for a few mistakes that shouldn’t be made at this level. Put up far more of a fight that the Saffas last year and Poms the year before.

Who was the better team?

1st innings lead - tick
dropped catches again - tick
set tricky little total - tick
Had us on the ropes at 1/0 - tick

Pakistan deserved series winners 2-1

If only they didn’t drop catches and concede about 50 extras in Melbourne

Felt like Pakistan were closer than 3-0, but that’s what Australia do…. And obviously feeling like a club team isn’t helpful

lol I hardly noticed it. Steve Waughs last series was absolutely cringe. I even remember asking dad why are they worshipping him every time he shows up on screen.

Anyone remember what channel 9 showed on TV during the morning session on the final day of that series deciding test match?

It wasn't cricket that's for sure. $10 for anyone who guesses correctly.
