Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 15-19, 2016 | Day 3

[Abdul]

Match situation:

Australia 429
Pakistan 97/8 (43.0 ov).
Pakistan trail by 332 runs with 2 wickets remaining in the 1st innings.

 

[Ellipsism]

Pakistan will be bowled out with in the first hour. Australia bats until dinner and restrict Pakistan to 100/8 and wrap up the tail on day 4 or 5 (pending on rain)

 

[Junaids]

Sunny again today after yesterday the cloud and then the floodlights saw 15 wickets fall for 236 runs.

I reckon Australia will quickly remove Amir and Rahat then score 230-3 declared by Dinner.

Yesterday was basically exactly what I predicted with this squad and under lights. Right down to the final hour under lights seeing no wickets fall.

But if they had picked Aamer Yamin and Hasan Ali it would be 100-5 now, with Sarfraz and Yamin batting in easy conditions against an old ball, with every hope of reaching 260 all out and then bowling in the dark.

Neither the squad nor the starting eleven paid any respect to Aussie Day/Night Pink Ball conditions. This is just a UAE conditions side, with Rahat swapped in in place of a second spinner.

 

[shaz619]

Michael Vaughan averages 60+ in Australia

 

[Big Mac]

Michael Vaughan averages 60+ in Australia

Rahat will beat that by the end of this series, with both bat and ball

 

[Junaids]

Tiny crowd today. Maybe 2000 at this stage, after 26,000 and 20,000 the first two days. And they were work days!

 

[Syed1]

Tiny crowd today. Maybe 2000 at this stage, after 26,000 and 20,000 the first two days. And they were work days!

The Australians have realized that Misbah XI is nothing more than a club level side

 

[Saeed]

Why would Sarfraz take single in the sexond ball, brainless.

 

[shaz619]

Michael Vaughan averages 60+ in Australia

Rahat will beat that by the end of this series, with both bat and ball

Which is why two of Brums finest are up this late to witness greatness

 

[Big Mac]

Why would Sarfraz take single in the sexond ball, brainless.

Wants to get the main man out there ASAP

 

[shaz619]

Why would Sarfraz take single in the sexond ball, brainless.

He's giving confidence to Amir, master strategist

 

[Saeed]

Takes a single again. Extremely selfish person, wants to stay out.

 

[Abdul]

Why would Sarfraz take single in the sexond ball, brainless.

Because he is a "fighter".

 

[Syed1]

Because Amir is not as timid as our openers

 

[shaz619]

Damn shame Shane never captained AUS [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION]

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

(The Destroyer) will be unleashed today in full force.

Australia working their way to their own impending doom !

 

[shaz619]

Because Amir is not as timid as our openers

Incredible bravery on display here, ferocious bowling

 

[Syed1]

What's up with Starc's pace.. bowling at Rahat's pace..

 

[Saeed]

Because he is a "fighter".

He won't get the chnace to be a fighter if Amir gets out from the other end. He should keep the strike as much as he can.

 

[shaz619]

Come on guys get past the psychological barrier of 100

 

[Speedster777]

100

 

[Saeed]

100 for Pakistan.

 

[QalandarFan]

I wonder why Wahab was sent in at 8!

Sohail Khan would've bowled much better than Rahat and could've added some valuable runs with the bat as well.

 

[MMHS]

Damn shame Shane never captained AUS [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION]

In Test - he led AUS in 1999 (or around then) WSC - one of the best Captains I had seen. But sadly, for his off field antics, he never led AUS in Test.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Just 129 more to get

 

[Saeed]

Amir to get his first century today.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Bowlers don't get jinxed while batting.

 

[QalandarFan]

Good lookin shot from Amir!

 

[Syed1]

[QalandarFan]

Amir played a 30 (109) back in 2010 against Aus in Hobart.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

lol is amir farming the strike now

 

[QalandarFan]

For a second I though he edged it!

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Highest partnership for the match for Pakistan

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir's batting form has been better than Younis Khan!

 

[shaz619]

Everywhere Nathan Lyon fields, the crowd goes bananas.

He's a real cult hero.

Why? is he popular amongst the birds?

 

[Syed1]

I cannot comprehend why Wahab continues to bat ahead of Amir

 

[Justcrazy]

This pitch is flat , Pakistan should be really disappointed

 

[Syed1]

Amir's batting form has been better than Younis Khan!

And Shafiq

 

[shaz619]

Amir aek century please

If that happens mate I will never eat again while posting on PP

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

And Azhar Ali as well !!

 

[Justcrazy]

I wonder why Wahab was sent in at 8!

Sohail Khan would've bowled much better than Rahat and could've added some valuable runs with the bat as well.

Sohail would have got a fifty here.

 

[Syed1]

lol Amir shielding Sarfaraz

 

[Saeed]

I cannot comprehend why Wahab continues to bat ahead of Amir

Only elders can comprehend such things. Hum chootay buchoo kay samjnay wali baat nahi.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Hahahaha Amir is farming the strike I guess !!

 

[shaaik]

Damn shame Shane never captained AUS [MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION]

He was expected to lead Australia in tests after Mark Taylors retirement but Australia losing CB Tri nation series against England which also featured Sri Lanka in 1998-99 didn't help his cause so he was replaced by Steve Waugh in ODIS as captain which eventually got the test captaincy too on the back of some good odi results.

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir has faced 22 Deliveries today while Sarfraz has only faced 8

 

[Justcrazy]

I cannot comprehend why Wahab continues to bat ahead of Amir

Wahab is not even good at number 11 , he should be number 13 or 14 if possible.

 

[QalandarFan]

Amir batting well!

Shabash boy!

 

[Syed1]

Starc has sucha beautiful action, no pace today though

 

[Big Mac]

Amir has faced 22 Deliveries today while Sarfraz has only faced 8

Steve Waugh method of batting with the tail

 

[Speedster777]

[Saeed]

by sarfraz

 

[Syed1]

Fighter at it again.


This is what you get when you are not just trying to survive like our openers

 

[Junaids]

Fifty partnership.

Shows how much damage Pakistan inflicted upon themselves by picking Younis and Misbah for this series at their ages.

 

[QalandarFan]

79 to go

And Sarfraz only has 61 to go!!!

50 Runs Partnership!

[shaaik]

saefarz trying his best to get run runout''just like his infamous idiotic 2nd run against NZ in that 2nd test match on which he was run out and pakistan lost the match

He sometimes gets too excited too unnecessarily which is a bit of a shame considering his talent.

 

[QalandarFan]
