Australia (299 & 130/2) defeat Pakistan (313 & 115) by 8 wickets in the 3rd Test to win the series 3-0

[Deewana Mastana]

Jamal throws it away now

Oh well 3-0

 

[SamNJ]

They can't resist Cummins. Can they ?

 

[batandballbattle]

Last batsman goes now.
Need nothing short of a miracle from the bowlers

 

[castortroy]

Another trap set and another one lol

This team is absolutely awful

No surprise but Warner will be hitting the winning runs

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jamal has done his bit. Played more balls than "King"

 

[Buffet]

Poor predetermined shot from jamal.

 

[SamNJ]

Head didn't have to move an inch.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Warner might knock these off himself in T20 style to say adios

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Hope people understand now why I rate Sarfraz miles ahead of the drama Queen.

What we needed today was a gritty innings not 28 runs filled with acting

 

[castortroy]

I bet there will be 2 or 3 more articles tomorrow on the "positives" from this tour

 

[adzzy786]

Wasim Akram please SHUT UP

 

[Buffet]

Jamal should have gone with his weird ducking.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warner might knock these off himself in T20 style to say adios

Hard to set aggressive fields with this target. You will have to be semi-defensive.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The failures of Abdullah, Saud and Babar have cost Pakistan big time in this series.

Just goes to show the huge challenges for batters used to scoring heavily on pancake , low bounce Pakistani pitches when playing away from Asia.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hard to set aggressive fields with this target. You will have to be semi-defensive.

Still he might have a crack at it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Wasim Akram please SHUT UP

Not watching. Is he saying "score 110/9 Amir Jamal 18 runs in 47 balls 2 fours no sixes"

 

[adzzy786]

It’s not the batting, the bigger issue was the dropped catches. Had we kept them even with the poor batting we would have won a game

 

[adzzy786]

Not watching. Is he saying "score 110/9 Amir Jamal 18 runs in 47 balls 2 fours no sixes"

Might aswell, goodness he’s so cringey

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Pak needed 150 at least

 

[Buffet]

Get it over 150.

 

[adzzy786]

How long till Hassan Ali self destructs? His 1 ball and out every game in the World Cup was disgusting

 

[jnaveen1980]

Best chance for Pakistan is to hope Australia trying short ball tactic on this docile pitch. Easiest length to paly against on this pitch for tailenders

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It’s not the batting, the bigger issue was the dropped catches. Had we kept them even with the poor batting we would have won a game

It's been a culmination of all the 3 really but yes the fielding as always has been the one that comes to bite Pakistan in the end.

 

[SamNJ]

Pakistani tailenders are pretty decent.

 

[adzzy786]

I hope they get to 150

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aussies would go for a heavy roller

 

[castortroy]

Akram is definitely one of the worst commentators

Rinse and repeat the scorecard and constantly stating the obvious and unable to understand western humour

 

[Rana]

There should be a petition to remove Akram as a commentator

 

[jnaveen1980]

There should be a petition to remove Akram as a commentator

I remember there was a dedicated website opened for removing Ranjit Fernando as commentator by SL fans lol

 

[lazy cricketer]

hassan saving his life and giving strike to hamza lol

 

[batandballbattle]

Seen hasan ali pull out the long handle in white ball, maybe he can bludgeon 20-30 odd here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Riz and Jamal should've been a little aggressive this morning as they would've known that they can't bat time in this situation as it isn't Day 5.

Had they shown a bit of an intent, never know we could've been 150 by now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hasan Ali has to throw kitchen sink here. One ball will have his name on it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Katham

 

[castortroy]

There was a time when Hasan Ali could bat a bit.

Lyon hasn't even bowled that well to get his wockets

 

[hamzie]

Why is Hasan Ali here

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Go on Warner smash it

 

[cric_man]

thats all she wrote folks...

 

[NeVerMind]

God awful from Hasan Ali...now need a miracle

 

[SamNJ]

There should be a petition to remove Akram as a commentator

Could be replaced by a scorecard reader bot.

 

[castortroy]

Might aswell, goodness he’s so cringey

He is just an awful to listen to. I'm sure the rest must take the mickey when Akram isn't around

 

[hamzie]

Australia going to win by 10 wickets

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It’s not the batting, the bigger issue was the dropped catches. Had we kept them even with the poor batting we would have won a game

Hope people understand now why I rate Sarfraz miles ahead of the drama Queen.

Rizwan is the highest Pakistani run scorer in this series and that is despite playing 1 less Test than the others.

Averaging 48 this series. Next highest is Shan who is averaging 30.

On this tour, PAK batting has failed whereas the bowling has been decent.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Watching Hasan Ali bat reminds me of the little master game

 

[7sins]

Nothing score Warner will finish this in 30 overs

 

[batandballbattle]

all over, wouldn't be surprised if warner went for one last assault and wrapped things up in about 30 overs

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Hasan has deteriorated so much now that he can't bowl bat or field.

But he can dance and entertain though.

 

[Rana]

I remember there was a dedicated website opened for removing Ranjit Fernando as commentator by SL fans lol

It makes sense

Wasim really is embarrassing. Waqar is a much better commentator than Wasim Akram

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nothing score Warner will finish this in 30 overs

20

 

[SamNJ]

Need a spell like MCG 2nd innings to make a game out of it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

When was the last time Pakistan bowled Pakistan out for 129 runs or less?

In history totally 6 times

80 all out - 1956 - PAK WON
125 all out - 1981 - PAK WON
116 all out - 1988 - PAK WON
127 all out - 2002 - PAK LOST
127 all out - 2010 - PAK LOST
88 all out - 2010 - PAK WON

 

[PakFan2010]

Last team that was batting last on SCG pitch scored 68

Pakistan are slight favourites in my book.

 

[Rana]

Hamza should bowl with a spinner to open

Don’t see the point of Hassan Ali sharing the new ball

 

[Buffet]

After so many years Pakistan got a lead in Aus, it was small but still. Then get all out of 115. A very poor batting.

 

[Zeshan547]

Rizwan is the highest Pakistani run scorer in this series and that is despite playing 1 less Test than the others.

Averaging 48 this series. Next highest is Shan who is averaging 30.

On this tour, PAK batting has failed whereas the bowling has been decent.

You owned him man, but these so called biased fans are shameless.

 

[castortroy]

Jamal is the only real positive from the tour.

They should really stop touring Australia now until there are real improvement in the team

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan needs to not give easy runs here and let Aus earn every run.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Australian batting form is iffy. That is the only reason Pakistan can cause some stir.

 

[Buffet]

Criticism of Rizwan is just weird to see in this forum. The best performing batsman from Pakistan despite not being a specialist batter.

 

[Civil]

We threw away a golden chance to win a test sigh

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Warner is in rhythm and gets away match will be over in no time. If he gets out Pakistan can set cat among pigeons.

 

[batandballbattle]

5-9 yesterday effectively killed our chances yesterday
never expected too much today with the minds still cooked

 

[jnaveen1980]

So they added 48 runs for the loss of 3 wickets. Not terrible.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Didn't watch most of the match. But being it is Warner's last innings may watch it.

 

[SamNJ]

Sydney never fails to disappoint Pakistan.
2010 shocker.
2016 lost after 2nd innings of the match was going on till post lunch day 4.
2024 one shocking over from Hazlewood

 

[batandballbattle]

sajid khan on lmao
screw 30 overs, make that 20

 

[jnaveen1980]

At the SCG in the current century Australia got bowled out under 129 against only one team which is Pakistan ironically. But they lost the match though. But Asif wrecked Australia at that time.

 

[imshally81]

What a lucky wicket

 

[NeVerMind]

Saj gets Khwaja! Dare we dream?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Draws first blood. Inspiring bowling choice

 

[NeVerMind]

sajid khan on lmao
screw 30 overs, make that 20

You were saying?

 

[adzzy786]

Saj gets Khwaja! Dare we dream?

Don’t

 

[160KPH]

Sajid is turning the ball

 

[oatmeal]

Notice no complaints about the DRS umpires call this time around

 

[SamNJ]

What a start. Sajid is pumped.

 

[160KPH]

Keep Sajid on, bring on Mir Hamza, and then Agha Salman

 

[Buffet]

Lucky wicket here. Just clipping. Good one.

 

[7sins]

Start with agha from other end

 

[7sins]

Lucky wicket here. Just clipping. Good one.

Australia have been lucky throughout the series

 

[jnaveen1980]

Course of the match is in the hands of Warner. If Pakistan nails him they can dare to dream.
