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

[Slog]

I haven't watched a single delivery since Sarfaraz bowled and then this happens lol

 

[uberkoen]

Do Day/Night tests have cut off times or do we just keep playing until 90 overs are bowled?

 

[Madplayer]

They should Have mini targets. Get it below 150 first.

 

[Saeed]

I haven't watched a single delivery since Sarfaraz bowled and then this happens lol

Someone is about to get out again.

 

[Slog]

Sui Southern Gas Corporation. ) They're trying their best not to burst out laughing.

Haha what's the context

 

[QalandarFan]

Come on Amir get to your Fifty!

 

[uberkoen]

9 runs short of a 100 run partnership here.

 

[Slog]

Someone is about to get out again.

Haven't switched on the Tv haha

Just following here

Weird situation

Take a nap bro

 

[Slog]

Do Day/Night tests have cut off times or do we just keep playing until 90 overs are bowled?

Seems like you bowl till you drop

The schedule closing time was more than an hr ago

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally Amir perishes.Good innings though.

 

[QalandarFan]

Ahh Amir is gone!

 

[Saeed]

Haven't switched on the Tv haha

Just following here

Weird situation

Should have let Amir get half century at least.

 

[Slog]

This is unbelievable

 

[aukhan]

Amir

 

[ali ray]

If only younis khan stay there with shafiq

 

[QalandarFan]

Should've continued smashing the ball, instead of defending.

 

[Saeed]

Oh well. Time for match winning century by Rahat ali.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

Wahab can't just roll over here !!!

Need to grind out an innings

 

[On_the_up]

Amir out.

Couldn't quite get his maiden 50 but has cemented his place @ no8 in the batting order.

 

[QalandarFan]

Why is Wahab ahead of Yasir!

 

[Madplayer]

This is unbelievable

Goodness

 

[Madplayer]

Perfect shafiq. Takes a single off the first ball and exposes the number 12.

 

[QalandarFan]

Wahab Riaz averages 7.92 In Tests!

 

[Junaids]

Pakistan batting aggregates for this match:

Sami Aslam 22 + 15 = 37
Azhar Ali 5 + 71 = 76
Babar Azam 19 + 14 = 33
Younis Khan 0 + 65 = 65
Misbah 4 + 5 = 9
Shafiq 2 + 67 not out = 69 for once out so far
Sarfraz Ahmed 59 not out + 24 = 83 for once out
Mohammad Amir = 21 + 48 = 69

 

[Saeed]

They should have sent Rahat before Wahab.

 

[Zeshan547]

Wahab should smash it all around, he not gonna last any long either way, and on few rare occasions on which he have scored, were all out aggressive inning.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Haha what's the context

They were talking Amir's half centuries scored in FC cricket and named the team he plays for and scored against.

 

[JaDed]

For once I'm not criticising Sachin here.

I'm saying that a 38 year old ATG Sachin in Australia achieved much less than he did when he toured at the age of 18.

It's hard to adapt to the faster pace and sharper lift here. And older players just struggle.

And I don't see how Pakistan dared to believe that a 42 year old Misbah and 43 year old Younis would do better than a 38 year old Sachin.

Especially when Starc and Hazlewood are a big upgrade on Hilfenhaus and Siddle.

Fair enough.

 

[Madplayer]

Lol wahab dancing

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Why is Wahab ahead of Yasir!

To play out the day.

 

[Saeed]

by Wahab.

 

[Madplayer]

Wahab should smash it all around, he not gonna last any long either way, and on few rare occasions on which he have scored, were all out aggressive inning.

Not till shafiq is there. Shafiq should farm the strike now.

 

[Saeed]

To play out the day.

Makes sense. Let Wahab be the night watchman. Tomorrow real batsman can come.

 

[Madplayer]

Is shafiq deluded? This is twice in 2 overs he has taken a single of the first ball

 

[On_the_up]

Wahab isn't going to last long. Yasir should be at no9 in this team. He has a better defence.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Again a single on the first ball by Shafiq.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Makes sense. Let Wahab be the night watchman. Tomorrow real batsman can come.

Yasir is decent enough. Make em toil even more.

 

[Saeed]

Wth Selfish shafiq.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

31 for Hazlewood, 28 for Starc. Keep em going.

 

[Zeshan547]

Why is wahab even trying to defend, it's not as if we have any chance of drawing this match, just whack it and have some fun wahab.

 

[Saeed]

Gosh two more balls to aurvive.

 

[Madplayer]

Wahab yaar

 

[On_the_up]

Shafiq playing for a red inker?

 

[Saeed]

Lol. These guys have no idea what they are doing.

 

[Junaids]

Only 6 overs left.

Probably Shafiq really should farm the strike, to give the Aussies something to chew on overnight.

If the 8th wicket goes down then Australia can claim an extra half hour.

 

[Markhor]

Starc and Hazlewood have played a lot of cricket recently - South Africa series, NZ ODIs and now this Test all in quick succession.

The more overs they burn through here, the more tired they'll get and better for us to exploit.

 

[Madplayer]

Wahab literally protecting shafiq . i wonder if thats a plan from the dug out

 

[Iddy]

Really pleased with Amir overall in this test match.

 

[Saeed]

Single, thank god. Shafiq needs to keep strike for now on.

 

[Saeed]

Btw only 170 runs left.

 

[ExplicitAI]

Hmm I wonder if we can win this Test match, gonna be a big stretch.

 

[QalandarFan]

Edged

 

[Saeed]

Edge and .

 

[itsme]

Shafiq still running away from starc but i donnt think wahab will stay long against him.

 

[ExplicitAI]

 

[Saeed]

3 more to survive.

 

[QalandarFan]

How many overs left today?

 

[Saeed]

How many overs left today?

4 more.

 

[aukhan]

How many overs left today?

4

 

[On_the_up]

100 overs+ for the 4 man Australian attack, good for Pakistan going into the next test even though it is 7 days away.

 

[Saeed]

21 balls to survive.

 

[JibranAnsari]

dropped.

 

[ExplicitAI]

What hurts knowing is that if we batted a bit better in the first innings then we would've won this Test easily.

 

[Madplayer]

Dropped shafiq. Thats why he is running away from starc.

 

[aukhan]

Asad dropped.

 

[QalandarFan]

Dropped!!!!!!

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Dropped it. ) YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAsssss!

 

[JibranAnsari]

What hurts knowing is that if we batted a bit better in the first innings then we would've won this Test easily.

they declared the innings , so not valid.

 

[Ellipsism]

Dropped!!!!!!

By who?

 

[mz123]

What hurts knowing is that if we batted a bit better in the first innings then we would've won this Test easily.

no, because australia wouldnt have declared at 202/5, they probably would have scored a 100 runs more before declairing...

 

[Madplayer]

What hurts knowing is that if we batted a bit better in the first innings then we would've won this Test easily.

Its easy to say this later.

 

[itsme]

Third time shafiq playing 3balls in row to starc third time he gives a chance

 

[JibranAnsari]

when strac gets it to swing with pace , its hard to cope.

 

[Madplayer]

By who?

Captain

 

[-=Umair=-]

By who?

Steven smith

 

[QalandarFan]

By who?

Steve Smith his 2nd drop today

 

[Saeed]

Ahafiq given another life. He needs to make them pay for this.

 

[Ellipsism]

Captain

[On_the_up]

Steven smith

Cricket's a great leveler
