Australia v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Sydney | Jan 3-7, 2017 | Day 1

[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] there is almost total cloud cover.

If you pick three quicks and one spinner, this is when you need to be bowling.

First morning.

Grass not dead yet.

Cloud cover.
 
May be I am too harsh, but with all the support Amir has had from the fans, players and the PCB, he has NOT lived up to justify any of it !!!! Hmmmmmm ...... !!!

I'm sorry, but it's pretty clear and sunny, nothing like SEVEN FRIGGIN YEARS AGO. Let that sink in, 7 years..

Whenever someone says let that sink it, this is what comes to my mind:

I am watching my first Test then, with cloud covering & solid dark shade of players from fade sun light, coming behind clouds.
 
Hate how amir shouts out "Catch!" and it's nowhere near the fielder, bhai kis ko _____ bana rahe ho?
 
As I have written for months, Amir - like Trent Boult - is too short for Aussie red ball conditions.

There is no safe length for him to bowl economically.
 
Who's bright Idea was it to drop Sohail.

and what did he bring to board as a bowler? nothing. zero. no swing, no seam, no pace

i mean we want to blame misbah but man look at our team. look at our options.

pathetic rahat leaves and sohail comes and he is even more pathetic....now sohail leaves and imran comes and he is even more pathetic

what can poor misbah does? our bowling simply sucks
 
Usman khuwaja think, "don't think i am get the chance to bat today, and can't join this runs charity"
 
Wabby bhai wasting the new ball by bowling wide. Oh well, at least it contains the runs.
 
Vicky Bhai, we've Aamer Yamin and Ammad Butt who are not even starting for their domestic sides, how do you expect them to be groomed...
 
It's clear that one has to get Warner out - he'll keep striking as long as he is in the middle. A tough proposition for Captain like Misbah - Virat, Mac or Smith probably would have tried different tactics - put 4 slips, 2 gullies & keep covers open - then ask bowlers to pitch up without giving width, may be 50 would have come faster, but not without a chance in early overs. Stable moods operandi won't work against these batsmen - Sehwag also troubled Inzi's team most & so did Sanga & recently Ross, players that take chances & play their shots, and never bogs down against negative field or bowling.

I just wonder, what he is going to do against Azhar in ODI?
 
If Misbah wasn't sure about retirement after MCG, you bet he will be after this phainty.

Inzi the revolutionary is also equally to blame, selecting the exact same loser team from the NZ series. I mean come on you had one job Inzi.

And then Mickey Arthur riding on Waqar's work and drawing a series in England other than that PATHETIC to say the least. There was a reason why he was fired from his previous jobs.


Inzi-Mickey-Misbah, the trio responsible for our present state.
 
What is happening? I wonder if Arthur has any say or may be has taken this for granted until Misbah is gone.
 
Another cosmetic surgery after this test awaits, some chopping and changing of positions in the PCB and the awaam will be happy.
 
Don't know which is worse, pak bowling or waqar's commentry, "pak need to bring that run rate under 3" yeah possible if we had wasim and waqar at their prime, even then it would have been an achievement.
 
Renshaw is so boring to watch, he is leaving everything on a flat pitch.
