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

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

Couldn't quite get his maiden 50 but has cemented his place @ no8 in the batting order.
 
Perfect shafiq. Takes a single off the first ball and exposes the number 12.
 
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
 
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.
 
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.

Not till shafiq is there. Shafiq should farm the strike now.
 
Is shafiq deluded? This is twice in 2 overs he has taken a single of the first ball
 
Wahab isn't going to last long. Yasir should be at no9 in this team. He has a better defence.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
Wahab literally protecting shafiq . i wonder if thats a plan from the dug out
 
Hmm I wonder if we can win this Test match, gonna be a big stretch.
 
Shafiq still running away from starc but i donnt think wahab will stay long against him.
 
100 overs+ for the 4 man Australian attack, good for Pakistan going into the next test even though it is 7 days away.
 
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...
 
Third time shafiq playing 3balls in row to starc third time he gives a chance
