Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 15-19, 2016 | Day 2

Will be interesting to see Pakistans reply with the bat after Australia have put up a mammoth score ( most lively )
 
Lots more cloud cover today.

Terrific swing conditions - but is Amir fit?

I for one will welcome such trolling. Will only believe it if and when it happens. Seems VERY unlikely at the moment. Azhar Ali has a better chance of getting a fifer..

Does it matter, what ever the outcome, him hurting his knee will be the reason he didn't bowl well or how great his is taking wickets on one leg.
 
So I fell asleep about 10 overs before close yesterday and just now found out that we had Smith caught behind on 97 off a nick but we didn't appeal? :))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :)))

WOW. Now we deserve to get hammered !!
 
Hmmm...good swing conditions....Aussies should declare first thing in the morning and have a crack at the Pakistani top order :yk #strategicdeclaration

Disappointed with Brisbane. Expected some more grass on the wicket.

The Australians probably got wary of green pitches after their debacle against South Africa and looking at how Amir was moving it under the lights at Cairns. They are almost doing the same mistake that England did because Pak batsmen (and Aus batsmen too) play much better when there is true bounce rather than when there is sideways movement. However what goes in Australia's favour is that their bowlers are probably the world's best in bowling on flat wickets unlike the English seamers who tend to go a bit flat on hard or flat wickets.

Not trolling, brilliant strategy. Rahat knew we didn't want to bat under lights so he refused to bowl the Aussies out, he'll take 5 for 15 this morning and bowl the Aussies just in time for the sun to come out :rahat
 
Handscomb is too used to facing trundlers like Mitch Johnson and Starc in the nets, can't handle the rockets from Rahat and his pull shot is beaten for pace :rahat
 
I believe :rahat (The Destroyer) has them right where he wanted !!

Genius at work fellas !!
 
Rahat, the savior. Use that nonexistent bowling brain of yours and go take some wickets:rahat
 
This is gonna end up being umpire's call isn't it? :(

He doesn't need a bowling brain when his very soul is the embodiment of bowling at its best.
 
Australia will continue to accumulate until the dinner break and get a few Pakistani wickets under the lights. Unless Rahat unleashes some of his magic to change the course of this game
 
Rahat is unable to land two balls at the same spot consecutively
 
Just waiting for Australia to declare now, because it doesn't seem like we can bowl them out.
 
Australia could wrap this Test up by tomorrow.

Pakistan in HUGE trouble and will be batting under lights tonight.

A few? :))

I'll be shocked if Pakistan aren't 5 down by stumps, this same side lost 9 in one session to NZ...
 
Aggressive captain gives you 2 slips and you get an edge which goes through where 3rd slip would be

No, whatever happens I'm blaming it on no Asif at the other end.
 
Ball goes through 3rd slip region, what does captain do? He takes away the gully too. Thank you Misbah
 
Smith dropped again, this time by Amir :facepalm:

Never looked like he was going to catch it.

Which is what happens when your GOAT Batsman in Australia is left at home to rack up twin tons.

There are consequences for leaving two of your best three players at home.
 
Won't be shocked if when i wake up

Aus have declared 500-7
And we've already been bowled out for 50
 
I knew Amir was going to drop it before the ball even got close.. he was all over the place :facepalm:
 
Dropped twice and was out edged!!!! I can feel [MENTION=132954]Aman[/MENTION] frustration during the 1st ODI now!
 
'Pakistani' fans rejoicing because the player they hate dropped the catch.


Aisay fans bunda dushman ko bhi na deh
 
This has 3 day Test written all over it.

It's up to the batsmen to try get Pakistan back in it (really save the match).
 
I can't watch This nonsense Smith's luck is unbelievable this isn't the first time he's got a ample amount of chances!

Smith didn't look as fluent either and was given free hit after free hit, which he cashed in on with boundaries..

Bit rich after your idiotic whinging about "aggressive" captaincy.
 
Pakistani fans would have lost it if that had been a no ball :)))

I think Pakistan will bat 6 sessions total over the 2 innings (@2.5 rpo) so match ends on the 4th day.

I always wondered about the thread about catches being dropped on a particular bowler.
No bowler ever got this extra consideration.

Pakistan's lower order stands no chance against Starc and the top order will be batting under lights tonight.

Yeah I remember that was kind of funny to watch as a neutral, but this is absolutely painful!
 
Sarfu has taken & dropped combined total of chances that he gets in a series in UAE.
 
Handscomb reminds me a bit of Guptill.

I wish Guptill was given a chance to bat at 5, Neesham should be number 6.
