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

[RidiculousMan]

Hahaha. Brain fade by Head. So all it was needed was random 3rd man fielder.

Good captaincy by Shan

 

[Rana]

Another 100 runs and Australia will have shut Pakistan out of this Test .

After that , it will be about crushing whatever little spirit is left in PAK team by putting them out there for as long as possible.

we have batsmen, not a set of ten pins

 

[zarak]

I dream of the day when we will have an opener who scores 150 off 200 balls

Even against Bangladesh

possible against them in pindi

 

[RidiculousMan]

Pakistan have taken 4 wickets

More than what they took 4 years ago in the whole series

I think the bowlers with their limited ability have done well apart from Jamal. Just that there have been drop chances. Australia at this point could've been 6 down with Warner back in the hut.

 

[Rana]

Come on then Shanny

Get them under 400

 

[zarak]

lowest first innings score at perth has been 320

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Pak has done well except 2 catch drops and a stumping chance.

Wicket is not easy to bat on as it looks.

 

[Rana]

possible against them in pindi

Who will have the guts to do it? Imam?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan's planning in recent years has been very good across formats
It's only the lack of skills to execute that is holding them back .

Oh chal Mama we have batsmen, not a set of ten pins

It doesn't matter, your team will be spent and they'll struggle for the rest of the series . This script has run far too many times to fail now.

 

[Rana]

Marsh is there for the taking

 

[Devadwal]

Come on then Shanny

Get them under 400

The way Australian playing right now anything is possible .they can bundled out around 400 or can score 500+ in no time

 

[Rana]

One wicket here boys, one wicket

 

[DeadlyVenom]

1 wicket and the game is 50/50 again.

We just cannot bowl to Warner. The rest has been ok.

 

[Devadwal]

@Rana ji chill Pakistan taken 4 Wickets when run already scored 310+ not around 50-60 runs .

 

[Rana]

Come on Agha, make Warner play the slog

 

[Devadwal]

1 wicket and the game is 50/50 again.

We just cannot bowl to Warner. The rest has been ok.

Game is already 80% in Australian hand .

 

[Rana]

Agha bowling like it’s ODI cricket

Be brave!!!

It’s a huge hit to cow corner

 

[zarak]

Game is already 80% in Australian hand .

it was 100% when the tour was announced

 

[BouncerGuy]

Any other spinner would have done the same as Salman is doing atm. Actually, he kept the Aussie Batters in check.

 

[Rana]

@Rana ji chill Pakistan taken 4 Wickets when run already scored 310+ not around 50-60 runs .

Bhai Australia is there for the taking

I don’t like Australia out of sportsman spirit (which means I rate them highly but I can’t watch them win)

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Game is already 80% in Australian hand .

Says who?

 

[Rana]

Warner is one chawwal shot away from opening the gates

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need Warner ASAP and we are in this.

 

[Third Man]

As I said in another thread a while ago, Amir Jamal is a poor man's haris Rauf and Haris Rauf himself is terrible test bowler. Sheer incompetence to think that he's a better option on this pitch than Waseem. Or any pitch for that matter.

 

[Rana]

Be brave Woaksy 5fer in here for you son

 

[Rana]

That’s the chawwal

That’s the door open!!

 

[Ali Active]

Warner gone

 

[Maliq_Mudasir]

Excellent captaincy by Shan and smart execution by Jamal.

 

[Devadwal]

Warner gone

 

[zarak]

Agha has been good. Better than Yasir Shah. Selection has been good. Misbah would have gone with 3 pacers and used yasir as an expensive donkey.

 

[kingusama92]

Need to get them out under 400.

 

[shaz619]

Jammal the staffordshire league legend!!!

 

[Rana]

Oh boy 5 wickets in one day against Australia in a Test match

Feels like we have won the champion’s league!!

 

[zarak]

Warner is one chawwal shot away from opening the gates

you said it

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good temperament shown by Jamal. He's better when used as an executor or an enforcer in the game. Rather than ask him to bowl good line and length

 

[Devadwal]

Australia just playing with Pakistan fans emotion. But well captaincy by shan and smart bowling by Jamal

 

[Rana]

Can the real pakistan fans PLEASE STAND UP!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jamal getting awkward bounce on this pitch and bowling a line that is tough to negotiate. This has been the best Pakistan has bowled as a unit in OZ conditions since forever.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Oh boy 5 wickets in one day against Australia in a Test match

Feels like we have won the champion’s league!!

I'm impressed by the captaincy by Shan so far. He has plan A, B, C.

 

[Ali Active]

come on get themm bowled out

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Good comeback from Pak mA.

 

[Rana]

you said it

Tajurba hai tere bhai ka

Jamal getting awkward bounce on this pitch and bowling a line that is tough to negotiate. This has been the best Pakistan has bowled as a unit in OZ conditions since forever.

hanji Einstein hor kuch?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Out of nowhere, Aamer Jamal stepped up and took 2 important and big wickets. bounced them both out.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Shan already showing more cricketing acumen than Babar, trying new things rather than be content on conceding 500+ every single innings.

There is lack of skill here, but the tactics being employed are a breath of fresh air.

 

[Rana]

Marsh will give you a chance every ball

 

[mrtaim3]

Captaincy difference is clearly evident

 

[Rana]

Let Babar bowl to Carey.

 

[Rana]

We need Shan to play until he is 50

 

[Ali Active]

been impressed by shan’s captaincy

 

[Rana]

Woakes and Stokes of Pakistan bowling in tandem

 

[Devadwal]

Shan already showing more cricketing acumen than Babar, trying new things rather than be content on conceding 500+ every single innings.

There is lack of skill here, but the tactics being employed are a breath of fresh air.

Absolutely brilliant captaincy by Shan. Babar would have bowl with spinner with no plan but shan is pro active and have different plan

 

[MANU ROY]

proactive capacity from shan

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Need to get them out under 400.

Absolutely crucial, this.

 

[Rana]

Sarfaraz back in the side and we are looking like a Test nation and not a circus for once

 

[Rana]

Keep the spinner on for Marsh!!

 

[Devadwal]

Sarfaraz back in the side and we are looking like a Test nation and not a circus for once

What is sarfaraz role of last 2 wickets

 

[Rana]

Absolutely crucial, this.

How crucial???!

 

[zarak]

nice takes by sarfaraz

How crucial???!

too much very much crucial

 

[Nikhil_cric]

How crucial???!

In the history of Test cricket at Perth, only once has a team come back and won after conceding 400. So yeah, extremely crucial

 

[Rana]

What is sarfaraz role of last 2 wickets

Bhai ki presence kaafi hai

 

[Devadwal]

Dont waste good work done by Jamal. No freebies

 

[zarak]

New ball soon. Shaheen needs to be on top. Not this 128kph stuff

 

[batandballbattle]

nice to see some intent but probably 40 overs too late

 

[Rana]

Jamal stumps son to Carey

 

[Rana]

Come on Jamal full on his pads

 

[gani999]

So 300 plus on day 1 with batting still to come. Australia should not lose from here.

 

[RKhan_Cricket]

Jamal gives me siraj's 2021/2022 Australia tour vibes

 

[Rana]

5-325

Better than Babar’s entire career as captain

 

[castortroy]

So much delusion amongst some pak fans thinking pak have a chance in this series.

Wait until Australia bowl. There will be a barrage of short deliveries.

 

[Rana]

Jammi we know you can bounce it but please full on the pads right now!!

 

[Devadwal]

So 300 plus on day 1 with batting still to come. Australia should not lose from here.

They are winning this game easily but it good that Pakistan fans are happy now .

 

[Rana]

Jamal has two new batsmen at the crease and just wasting deliveries by not forcing them to play!

Who teaches these boys cricket at FC level???

 

[BouncerGuy]

Too early to call the shots on who is going to be the winner here. let's wait for 1 or 2 more days.

 

[Rana]

Come on then Agha make him play the slog sweep to that Huge cow

 

[gani999]

They are winning this game easily but it good that Pakistan fans are happy now .

I hope Pakistan makes a game of it and Babar gets a ton or two here.
He will cement his place as the greatest Pakistani batsman in the history of the game if he does that.

 

[Rana]

Agha stop being such a coward!!!!!

 

[Rana]

how did Rana Faheem Stokes trap Labushange lbw??

One of the great mysteries of the world

 

[Dantheone]

The impact of captaincy is clearly being seen. Making good use of limited resources.
That shorter third man placement was brilliant!

 

[Rana]

World class take by Sarfaraz

 

[Ali Active]

Pakistan batting is stronger than previous tours

They are winning this game easily but it good that Pakistan fans are happy now .
