Australia comfortably placed on 346/5 at end of Day 1 of the 1st Test against Pakistan

[RidiculousMan]

Warner batted out of his crease but still smashed the ball. He is still batting outside of his crease against our front-line pacers.

Because there's no pace.

Shaheen is a swing bowler. Never going to be a good hit the deck bowler with this release.

 

[boomboomcheema]

Match over in the first session itself

 

[Vikram1989]

50 up for Australia without a loss

Hasn't Ali devlare

Commies say by Shaheen's own standard he let Pakistan down. I am not sure what his standard is. Are they still confused between formats?

vs West Indies 11.27 18 wickets
vs Bangladesh 15.20 15 wickets
vs ZImabbwe 16.40 10 wickets
vs Srilanka 27.16 18 wickets

These are his best 4 - 61 wickets out of 105 wickets against these side


Against them
12 tests 61 wickets 17.77 avge
Against the rest
16 matches 44 wickets 37.45 avge

I think if we do the same in odi and t20 too he may have the same stats .Also initial overs vs end overs too may be the same.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Can't believe I'm saying this but damn ...as bad as Mo Abbas is, he is a much better Test bowler than Jamal and FAHEEM ASHRAF.

What in the world is he doing in the Test side as a specialist bowler?

 

[jnaveen1980]

SAhazhad is hitting 8 meter mark which won't allow Warner to advance down the wicket.decent strategy against such ploy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good seam movement.IF he has added yard of pace he would have been in business.

Shaheen is greatly overhyped because his good performances have been very noticeable.

 

[Asad T]

Finally, proper test bowling now:

Jamal was pick of the bowlers first session. Should've had a wicket. Consistently bowled 138 kph

 

[Ali Active]

Some nice lines now

https://x.com/i/web/status/1735167058906653121

Why couldn't they do this from the go? They have the skill it's just a mental issue.

 

[Ali Active]

Gonee

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen is greatly overhyped because his good performances have been very noticeable.

Yea. he has a few "bang bang" overs upfront. That gets him noticed. But in the ENgland series he was found wanting. He continues relying on golden balls.

 

[kingusama92]

Finally a wicket!

 

[Ali Active]

pak need warner here he is very dangerous

 

[jnaveen1980]

Khawaja finally nicked one. Few quiet overs was all needed.

 

[Sycamore]

4 overs of outside off boring bowling is all it took for the wicket.

 

[BouncerGuy]

SHaheen has done it. Khawaja is gone.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Yea. he has a few "bang bang" overs upfront. That gets him noticed. But in the ENgland series he was found wanting. He continues relying on golden balls.

Exactly. Also, Pakistan's attack has been so bad lately that he stands out.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is how you pick wickets. Just stifle AUssies for a while. Eventually you will get a false shot.

 

[RidiculousMan]

What a comeback by Afridi. That's what you needed to do. Bowl good line and length.

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is how you pick wickets. Just stifle AUssies for a while. Eventually you will get a false shot.

Not just Australia. But any team on any pitch in a Test match. Nice consistent line and you'll get your reward

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is how Khawaja plays. Not perfect. That generally works for him. Zero feet movement.

 

[jnaveen1980]

For Labuschagne you need short fine leg and short mid wicket for sure. That is a wicket taking area.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Wonderful delivery from shaheen, came in with the angle and just seamed away at the last moment to take the edge.

 

[Azzurri]

The lines and lengths are a key in test cricket. I like the look of khurram. He bowls some really good lines

 

[jnaveen1980]

But it will go too high.

 

[jnaveen1980]

There is pelnty of seam movement on offer. Hazlewood will be threatening on this pitch.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Two wrong no ball calls by 3rd Umpire. Atrocious!

 

[ExpressPacer]

Shaheen has gotten the wicket but Khurram Shahzad has comfortably been the most impressive bowler today.

 

[Ali Active]

Pak need to be careful last thing u want is to get wicket of no ball

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pitch is quickening up as expected

 

[RidiculousMan]

Brilliant bowling by Khurram. Deserves a wicket!

 

[ExpressPacer]

KS has commendable accuracy. Need more of this. Shaheen, while great, has always lacked accuracy and is largely a "glory ball" bowler.

 

[Asad T]

Why couldn't they do this from the go? They have the skill it's just a mental issue.

Yes maybe nerves, or they can't control the new ball

 

[Marooned]

Khurram has bowled beautifully after lunch.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Labu will be a bit nervous as Shaheen has a good record against him.

 

[Adi_62945]

I like khurram so far, bowled at right channel. He has a slingy action like shabbir ahmad minus height.

 

[SamNJ]

For some strange reason when I watch cricket in Australia on tele, always feel as if there is slope on the pitch. Batsmen and keeper are up the slope and bowler is towards the down side.
It has got to do with the camera angle or may be it's just my eyes and brain perceiving it that way.

 

[jnaveen1980]

So many noballs

 

[RidiculousMan]

Another no ball called. All no balls have been close with two being atrocious decisions

 

[jnaveen1980]

Seems like Pakistan is trying to dismiss Labu like India did. He is getting too straighties and playing into the hands of Labu

 

[castortroy]

As expected, this bowling attack will not be getting 20 wickets in any of the tests.

Watch when Cummins and Hazelwood bowl on this wicket, it will be carnage

 

[Sycamore]

Khurram had a poor over then. Maybe tiring now ?

 

[castortroy]

One of the worst attacks to tour Australia

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Shehzad is good prospect, needs to increase his pace.

 

[Sycamore]

Shehzad is good prospect, needs to increase his pace.

He!s bowling good pace now , 136 consistently

 

[jnaveen1980]

That is a brilliant statistics. Warner vs round the wicket 97 in Australia, over the wicket 22.

I think Siraj took him out over the wicket each time

 

[Vikram1989]

Lol at pak fielding. Warner completed a comfortable couple even though after he slipped at the runner's end .Pak fielder was horrible late to react.

Pakistan have become the jokes in international cricket. Being dismissed with such persistent disdain by your peers should really ignite some retrospection, but not with Pakistan. They thrive in mediocrity and can’t seem to get serious. This is international cricket, not some street cricket.

 

[Sycamore]

I hope this is the last match Faheem plays for Pakistan. Just nothing bowling.

 

[Shafi]

We shouldn't be invited in Australia in future. What crowds will get a one-sided match. That's why Australia never invites Zimbabwe and only one once Bangladesh.

 

[chinaman00]

This just goes to tell you that Pakistan never does its homework. They simply bowl few overs in Lahore, board a plane and say “ we are excited and ready to play.” Instead, they get hammered worse than… never mind.

 

[chinaman00]

We shouldn't be invited in Australia in future. What crowds will get a one-sided match. That's why Australia never invites Zimbabwe and only one once Bangladesh.

Pakistan shouldn’t be invited anywhere and I really hope the ICC limits Test Cricket to these five teams: Australia, England, India, New Zealand and South Africa.

Test Cricket is too prestigious to be reduced to such a joke.

 

[Shafi]

I think both Imam and Fahim has strong political background to be selected in the team again and again.

 

[Ali Active]

Labu gone but review taken

 

[Ali Active]

Labu gone still need warner though

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rana's length and bowling style is near perfect in Australia. If he can just get more consistent with a bit more pace.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is just zipping off the surface even at lower speeds. You just have to keep the channel going.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan will have their task cut out when they bat if the pitch continues behaving like this.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Love how pitch is transforming into a quick pitch.

 

[MANU ROY]

Faheem takes a wicket

 

[sindhiboy]

on a traditional aussie pitch, pakistan probably still be wicketless. for the past few years, australian pitches have been offering alot more assistance to the seamers.

good on australia for not preparing flat pancakes like they used to before

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

If warner is batting outside crease, Sarfaraz should come up and put him under pressure.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is doing a lot. Pitch becoming unplayable.

 

[jnaveen1980]

One reason ball seems quicker for Warner is he is still standing outside the crease. This is where bouncers should be employed.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If warner is batting outside crease, Sarfaraz should come up and put him under pressure.

lol At Perth standing up here will result in him getting a concussion test.

 

[Croma]

176-2 is an improvement over the atrocious performance prior to lunch

 

[Hitman]

If warner is batting outside crease, Sarfaraz should come up and put him under pressure.

At Perth?

 

[MANU ROY]

Aamer Jamal leaking runs

 

[m.shah]

Aamer Jamal leaking runs

He is a nothing player.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warner picked perfect series as final series. Fool proof.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I just woke up now, slept through my earlier alarm. Are we legit just playing two specialist bowlers ( one of who is a debutant?!)

 

[MANU ROY]

26th Test century for David Warner

 

[MANU ROY]

David Warner loves batting against Pakistan

 

[Rajdeep]

What kind of bowling attack is this for Pakistan?

 

[MANU ROY]

Someone said this Aamer Jamal is second coming of Imran

 

[Shafi]

Parchi got a wicket!!!
