Missed chance by Australia to get a DRS review

UltraEdge shows a spike off the toe of the bat on that first ball waft from Imam. Australia lulled to sleep by the slow pace of play and don't go for the review....

:)))
 
I said that yesterday that they are playing from personal milestone and was scolded by couple of members of this group

They aren't winning this anyways and the longer these two stay will increase Oz chance to draw this match, so if I were in Australian camp I would pray these two bat as long as possible. So you can kinda say it's tactical non review.

Most tests these days don't even get to day 5, Pakistan should bat long just for the heck of tiring out the opposition and making them feel helpless. All that Aussie's need is a little sniff and they'll be all over us. You guys come back on day 4 and tell me if it's gonna be a draw.

Add 2 quick wickets to current score and 300/3 after 4 sessions of cricket will look as though we are playing on a indian rank turner.
 
They are even tucking the most phatta balls. Ball is not going above middle of pad and they are tucking it like they are playing in Perth pitch

Slog?

Pakistans 1st 100 runs came up in 30 overs yesterday (3 RPO)

pakistan were 200/1 after 70 overs (just below 3 RPO

no one is asking to slog but scoring at around 2 rpo on a good batting surface, 1 wicket down with 2 set batsmen is pathetic.

IF this test ends a draw in the end then this whole pathetic snail batting period can be blamed.

Babar himself needs to bat at 3

He is the only one capable of scoring fast and setting the tone once set. We all know Azhar isn’t playing for the team and is playing for himself
 
There won’t be enough time to bowl Australia out twice they have some good batsmen heading for a draw.
 
What is the point of playing so slow with 9 wickets in hand and 300 on board on this phatta wicket??? If you can't play fast in this situation on this wicket then where can you???
Thing is that both these bat's are playing for ownselves as they want to cement their place on this placid track... They have no run scoring good looking shots.. No drives, pulls, cuts, nothing... Just flicks here and there with soft hands and a lot of blocks and ducks.... Shame that this is our test top order... I wish Shan and Saud were playing with much more run scoring and appeasing shots... This is not where we should be heading... Babar is proving to be another Misbah unfortunately... So is saqilain
 
Hazlewood 0-28 in 18 overs

If he gets 2 wickets now, his average will be 14 in Pakistan
 
This imam always makes simple things difficult.
I dont care he getr 200 or 300 unless untill pak win this match
 
Azhar just blocking his way to a pathetic 100 here
 
Azhar looks nervous now. Starc bowling well.
 
pakistan 1st 100 runs - 30 overs
pakistans next 100 runs - 40 overs
pakistans next 100 runs - 43 overs
 
Aussies bowling better today especially the short stuff.

Pakistan to step it up after Lunch?
 
Hate these stupid ads which commentarors are obliged to comment on.
 
This brand of cricket is unacceptable, even in test matches. It's 2022 FGS. :facepalm:
 
Aus will probably score 350 in one day.

I don’t know when we will end this selfish culture in our batting

😂😂 you think Azhar and Imam are going to speed up? they have been in block mode since after tea yesterday.
 
Azhar just cant help it but its unacceptable from imam. There is nothing in the pitch , at straight bowling you should be able to target leg side but he is just playing useless dots.
 
500 around Tea and declare

It could go either way,

a Warner 300 off 340 balls or Australia 300 ao by day 4 morning
 
What will be the team talk at lunch keep batting slow and scrape past 400 by close of play?
 
57 runs in session, pathetic batting. Clearly AA is playing for his 100, zero intent. You come in at 100/1 and you decide to bat like this shameful stuff.
 
I fail to see how Pakistan can get 20 Australian wickets on this surface with rain predicted and no Hasan Ali/Yasir Shah. Worst possible kind of pitch for a game that was highly anticipated..

"Rank turners" over these any day of the week.

500 around tea 😂😂 how the hell do you expect pakistan to score 200 runs in a session when they have take 43 overs to score the last 100.
 
57 runs added in 25 overs

Very Very disappointing batting , this two should have dropped from the team for selfish batting If Mr Khan was the captain.
 
Haha india 490/8 in almost same number of overs. Pakistan may not be able to score these in 200 overs.

That’s what they need to be told at lunch or the management is incompetent
 
We saw a repeat of snail batting after a good start in 1st drawn test in 2018 in UAE.

That would mean they score 200 runs in 30 overs in the second session impossible even a 100 looks unlikely unless wickets fall.
 
The test line up is filled with accumulators. Not a single batsman who can play a counter attacking innings

Nothing to do with management, down to the 2 batsmen in middle blocking half volleys.

By tea I meant some time into the session.

Originally yesterday I thought the plan was to get to 450 by tea. They are in a good position now to have a few cameos that would push them to that score around 1:30 minutes before the end of days play

They need Australia to bat tonight 100%
 
They got to get the show on the road here. Real chance to take the game away this session.

Sssshhh don't complain the "Test cricket ***** police" will be on you. [MENTION=318]Hasan[/MENTION]
[MENTION=149705]Mean&Green[/MENTION]
It's been pathetic in terms of RR. Every team bats a bit quicker. Our guys are tuktuk e en the basic balls
 
Aus needs to end this torture somehow for us Pakistan fans. Please get the wickets of Imam and Azhar in the first 10 minutes after lunch. I can't bear this 18th century batting approach from these 2.
 
Azhar has always batted at a snail's pace, with only a few exceptions. At the moment, he's even slower than his career strike rate.

Meanwhile, what is Imam doing? He's striking at 45 even though he's on 150+.

Lol fans hoping for the wickets of set Batsmen to fall. Only in Pakistan .
 
Painful to watch this today.

Some urgency needed soon.
 
It's an action replay of the same shot over an over again with Azhar.

Shuffle across the crease and nudge it straight to the fielder.

Yes, because fans want a result if they are investing their time in watching a test match. The batters are not playing result oriented cricket at the moment. What's the point of playing at a run rate of under 3 on a batting pitch?
 
They should've been told during lunch break to play a little faster or at least message should be sent now.

What is management thinking?
 
All the smiley chappy Aussies before the tour will now understand what it's like to play in Pakistan on these wickets.

We've overdone the grind yes, but it's good to have their bowlers on the field for 160+ overs.
 
Why is our team this way? 300 for 1 and still unable to take the game by scruff of its neck. So uninspiring
 
18 Test hundreds

That’s pretty good for a player like Azhar Ali
 
pathetic 100 by Azhar doesnt even deserve applause.
 
I truly think that scoring a 100 after playing at snails pace on a flat deck is no big deal. Professional batsmen should easily be able to block their way to a hundred if the ball isn't doing anything.
 
312-1

is this the worst bowling attack to have arrived on our shores?

Watch PSL highlights if you want entertainment. This is a test match, serious stuff for serious people. Entertainment comes much later, on day 4/5.

If Test cricket is not ment to be entrainment than why is it a cricket format?
 
Only explanation is that the Pak management wants to run the Aussie bowlers to the ground which will reduce their effectiveness in the subsequent test matches.
 
Expect more of this. Imam still has to get to his 200. And Azhar will keep tuktuk
