What's new

Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 15-19, 2016 | Day 1

Was an LBW waiting to happen standing that far across the stumps. Good stuff from Amir!
 
:out
Warner lbw b Mohammad Amir 32 (70b) SR: 45.71
 
FTB goes.

Also again, good ball followed by 4 ball. But it's a start.
 
Lovely, lovely indipper from Amir.

Showing his class once again.

He needs to bowl this ball more often tho if he wants to get back to his best.
 
Told you Amir is a cut above the rest
Wicket off a bad ball? :))

Warner shuffled across, if he stayed still he could have easily whipped it away for 4, just like Khawaja did now to get off the mark. Although it was a lot more leg side this time around.

I think some of the more excitable members of the forum think, that the wicket was all about Aamir. No doubt he bowled a good delivery. A big part of it is about how they have kept warner's scoring on a tight leash
 
Ok thanks for your input.

Amir looked the most threatening in the innings, and I had pointed it out earlier, and he ended up picking up a wicket.

Don't like it don't read it

Actually I'm not so sure he has looked the most threatening at all, I thought his opening partner was a little better with the new ball.

And the wicket that caused your hyperbolic reaction was a pretty ordinary delivery, Warner will be kicking himself having moved that far across his stumps.

TBH Warner played all around it.

Warner had a chance to go all out when Yasir was bowling on leg stump.
 
YEAH HATERS?

Like [MENTION=134250]wasimjunior[/MENTION] said, we should stop crying. Misbah and Yasir know what they're doing.

Their best bat Khwaja - took out by Yasir, same angle.
 
I hope the excitable pp members saw the line of yasirs delivery
 
:out
Khawaja c Misbah-ul-Haq b Yasir Shah 4 (7b)

I disagree.

Rahat Ali looked poor. He was bowling on both sides of the wicket.

Amir's skill too, but you're right.

Misbah/Yasir kept it EXTREMELY tight for Warner. The stat that I posted, it was his SLOWEST start in the last 4 years.

This obviously had an effect on Warner's mind.

Team effort I'd say.

Khawaja is not their best bat lol
 
WHAT DID I TELL YOU???

C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!! Warner and Khawaja gone! Amir and Shah, whattay bowlers! Wrist-slitters, come at me, bruhs! :junaid
 
If Smith goes for cheap, Aussies don't have much experience left for Yasir. I just wonder Khwaja vs Ashwin will be fun .........
 
Now you guys know why Misbah is a great Test tactician.

And Yasir/Misbah have great chemistry too. ;)
 
No he hasn't. He has been par with other 2 barring his first over

I feel he's been the most accurate among them and executed his plan.

Rahat was wayward.

Wahab could have an argument. I'll give you that.
 
Game of patience, Test Cricket, game of patience.

So far, it's been very good session for Pakistan.

All things considered.

If the Aussies bat 70 overs, they will have Pakistan batting in the last 20 overs for the day..
 
Golden Chance for a pak to bundle them out for under 250. Those 11 balls have turned the session in Pakistanis favor
 
Watch Pakistan fans go from the most pessimistic posting ever to hyperbole about this being the best Pakistani side to ever tour Australia.

These extreme reactions are always entertaining to watch.
 
Smith is the big wicket, there isn't much else for Aus after Warner, Khawaja and Smith.

Yeah, no you just made all that up. Amir bowled first over, got hit for same runs. Rahat started ok, and closed tighter than aamir

Actually you are the one making stuff up, because of our bias against Amir
 
Khawaja's love for Pakistan was playing on his mind. Aussies will still get 350, I guarantee it nehin toh I will start supporting Manchester United.
 
If the Aussies bat 70 overs, they will have Pakistan batting in the last 20 overs for the day..

Not convinced with that funda actually - I'll take batting for last 20 overs facing 220; rather than batting early next morning facing 290.

:))

What?

Rahat gave 3+ runs in every over he bowled and his worst over was his last (5 runs). When did he close "tighter"?

Amir had multiple overs where he gave only 1 run.

You're watching the same match right?
