Australia openers 30/0 at Stumps after Haris Sohail's maiden ton took Pakistan to 482

Rather they just declare. Know they want the psychological 500 mark, but they're also wasting time, fewer overs for Australia to bat today. Plus while 10 or so runs won't matter too much, let's say if Yasir Shah gets injured here while batting, will be far worse.

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] and you were expecting Pakistan to be 500+ 1 hour before tea? I was expecting Pakistan to declare 1 hour before the end of play and it looks like exactly that. However I expected them to be at least 520 by now.

My point was based on scoring rate - for good reason God knows, PAK batted from 200/1 for next 100 runs like for 60 overs.

That's a million dollar question, They are wasting time which they could have used to take some early wickets. I think they desperately wants to go beyond 500 to have some kind of psychological edge.
 
Pakistan's slow scoring throughout the 2 days will not put them in a good place in this test.

9 down with not even 500 on the board.
 
Pakistan should have been around 550 by now and it would not have been bad being 9 down with that score right now.
 
Starc bowled 40 overs for 1 wicket.

He could have played 10 T20 matches made shitloads of money and still bowled same number of overs.
 
We batted far too slow this innings. It's a quickish outfield, placid conditions and we had plenty of wickets in hand. Usually when teams bat this slow, it's because they're struggling with the conditions/or it's not conditions they're used to. And it's usually the away team that does this. But ah well, 482 is still a good score here.
 
What a joke.... That is some of the most moronic reasoning I have ever heard..... No way that was an edge.
 
"Spike is in the future" . Looks like he's looking in a crystal ball rather than at video replays.
 
Guess not everyone can be like Aleem Dar--unbiased. S.Ravi throwing the 'sink' at Pakistan with these 3rd umpire decisions. 2 incorrect decisions so far. The Sarfraz runout, and now this "edge".

It was a definite edge.

When the bat hit the ground there was a long spike in Snicko. Then there was a flatline. And then there was another small spike when the ball passed the bat. Then flatline again.

It says "small spike" on cricinfo. What is the problem? Any edge (contact between bat and ball) is out, small or otherwise.
 
Guys stop crying like fans from a certain country about marginal umpiring decisions. Jo ho gaya so ho gaya.

I don't care about Cricinfo, nor your opinion if you don't watch the match live. A text based commentary will only tell you so much. Go watch it live to judge it properly. The spike was the bat hitting the ground. At best, it was too inconclusive as the bat hit the ground and the ball passed the bat at the exact same time, in which case just stay with the on field call. There was not enough evidence to over turn the decision.
 
Wasted half an hour for nothing, should have had Australia in there for at least an hour.

Settle down, nobody's crying here. But we're allowed to comment our opinion on such incidents. In any case, it makes little to no difference to the score, just frustrating is all.

Not only were you crying about the decision, you were also accusing the Indian umpire Ravi of bias.

I was watching live too. What I saw was that the bat hit the ground and there was a long spike for that. The ball was not in frame then. After that there was a flat line. Then there was another smaller spike when the ball passed the bat.

So unless you are suggesting that the bat hit the ground twice while the batsman was playing on the up - which is impossible - there is only one possible conclusion. That the 2nd spike was ball hitting bat.
 
Mad captaincy from Sarfraz. Every tom dick and harry knows about Khwaja's struggles against spin, especially off spin. Should've open with Bilal Asif or Hafeez.

Well it sure looks that way after he gave two blatantly incorrect 3rd umpire decisions with tv replays at his disposal. Either that or he's incompetent.

The small spike afterwards was after too long of a delay to have been the ball. From what I saw, the ball was in the frame when the bat hit the ground hence why it was taking some time to come up with the decision. The Pakistani camp seemed to believe that it was a wrong decision too (and yes, they'd be biased but they're still fair when it comes to these kinds of decisions especially given how small the effect of that out would be).

I'll have to rewatch the replay for the small spike again, but in any case, if there is doubt then decision should stand with on field call.
 
Need to bring spinners here, nothing happening with new ball.

Please watch the snicko replay agian if you can find it somwhere online. I am 100% sure it was how I described it. No bias.

The doubt is supposed to be in the 3rd umpire's mind, not yours. Any spike, small or otherwise, that happens when ball passes bat is regularly given out.

Ravi made the correct decision, as any competent 3rd umpire would. Calling him incompetent only reveals your bias.

Specify which rule you are referring to? Your post is like a personal attack with no logic. No more replies from me ever to you unless I see something intelligent.

DRS is only supposed to overturn CLEARLY wrong decisions.
"Only clearly incorrect decisions are reversed; if the Third Umpire's analysis is within established margins of error or is otherwise inconclusive, the on-field umpire's original call stands"

But please, don't reply instead. Just go away already until you learn how cricket works. It is not up to Indian's to randomly decide rules whenever it favours them. Absolutely pathetic how you are spewing random gibberish as rules.

Correction, I should have posted " No more replies from me ever to you unless I see something intelligent and not rude."

Bye.

Hahahaha, completely ignore the fact that I used facts to show you are full of gibberish.
But i'll take that as a Win (Both for me and anybody who wants to avoid being corrupted by people lying about actual rules in cricket)

Buh-bye Cheater!
 
Come on Pakistan!

Good to see Sid bowl well, always rated him.

Surprised that Lyon is not takin more wickets.

Or maybe I have better ways to spend my time than engaging with such posters. Read up about Mark Twain's advice about arguing with idiots.
 
11 overs into the Aussie innings, and they're already showing more pro activity than Pakistan were in their entire innings nearly.
 
If MoHa is considered the lead Offie, then Bilal's inclusion is even more confusing. They should have gone for a SLAO - if not any new talent available, Zulfi was still available.

Yes because for them, runs against the new ball is the best time.

When the ball gets older and pitch starts to deteriorate, yasir is a different beast.
 
Pakistan should have made Australia play more over today. The approach with the batting was quite poor.

Rather Pakistan took too long to score as the pitch was not doing anything really was not even turning that they had to really dig in that hard to play Lyon.

482 was not going to be enough, they needed 550-600.
 
If Khawaja can survive Yasir and Hafeez its mean our spin bowling is totally out of touch.
That guy can't even play spin ball
