What's new

Australia v Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Dec 15-19, 2016 | Day 4

Shafiq looks to be bottling it. Another chance to midwicket . just short.
 
End of day is coming at the right time. Shafiq looks like he will get dismissed any moment here.
 
Shafiq still with the angled bat in defence.

Iron out this flaw and he will get bowled and LBW a lot less.
 
Asad "timid" Shafiq is doing everything he can to get himself out at the fag end of day's play. :facepalm:

Starc has been pretty good in this match.

Probably the third best left-arm quick bowler after Amir and Wahab! :)
 
Good knock by Shafiq need more of this especially as yk and misbah are coming to the end
 
Eight more overs . what the hell umpires.. Idiotic biased umpiring.
 
We survived the day. Still pretty one sided unless we have another big partnership.
 
All the aussies have done is take 5 wickets all day. What are these 8 overs for? Bs
 
Another 8 overs tonight.

Oh well, better for Pak with tired bowlers than fresh ones tomorrow.
 
8 more overs just because smith asked for them. Cant get over it.
 
I guess Aus is relying on the quality of Pak tail more than anything else and umpires surely think the same
 
Batsmen are already tired enough. If they get out it will be umpires fault.
 
Total discrimination.
Imagine if Aus was batting will these baffoon umpires still add the 8 overs ?
 
Missed today's play and the drama, but it is safe to say that we are leading The Moral Victory Trophy 1-0.
 
This is Pakistan's highest fourth innings score in Australia and versus Australia anywhere. 343 is their second highest ever fourth innings score after 382 vs Sri lanka.
 
So the Umpires were correct then?

Pak batsmen should take this as as an inspiration and be even more determined to take it into the last day.

Opposition is just 7 down, not 9 down. Whether they get all out today or not is a secondary issue. Extra overs shouldnt have been allowed.
