Australia v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Sydney | Jan 3-7, 2017 | Day 4

[Abdullah719]

Australia 538/8d
Pakistan 271/8

 

[On_the_up]

Tough day in store for Pakistan. They need to extend this inns as long as they can.

Can YK get the 75 more runs in this test?

Australia unlikely to declare even if given the chance. Chances are, Aust get lead of 200+, bat 2 sessions and declare with lead of 400+ in the early part of last session.

Not looking good.

 

[FlickedOffHips]

showers only expected for morning. should be dry day after, like yesterday.

 

[Sanzcool]

Renshaw ruled out of the test

 

[lahoriyah1234]

Good for Pakistan. The more time off the better it is. Means aussies wont bat again and we might be able to score around 400 in the 2nd inning and might save this test.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

I strongly feel Pakistan missed a great chance to beat Aussies. This was not the best of Australian side compare to the past ones. We just didnt play well when it mattered and bowlers let us down.

I hope day gets washed out. We might save this test then.

[hamzie]

who knows when itll stop yaar, depends on how many pakistanis are duaing for rain

 

[Ellipsism]

When will it stop raining?

It's absolutely pouring in the Bankstown-Cantebury region, which is 25-30 min from the stadium.

 

[Meeshu_Man]

My Office is 10 minutes away from Stadium and its not raining , overhead skies but no rain

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Australia are a man down + Wade has had sickness and diarrhoea. This is a good chance for Pakistan to at least get a draw out of this game.

Wade will keep today, I believe.

 

[Meeshu_Man]

Extremely light drizzle, sprinkling, match will not start till afternoon for sure

 

[Abdul]

The covers are coming off now.

 

[Belawal2014]

Hope Ajju can score the more number of runs in a 3 match test series against Aus when he comes on to bat in the next innings, maybe even a ton.

 

[Badboy_1]

any update on match?

 

[Abdullah719]

any update on match?

Another inspection in ~22 mins.

Don't understand this post? He already has the record for having most runs in Australia in a series (from Pakistan), overtaking Mohsin.

 

[lahoriyah1234]

This series has not been great for Younis Khan but 1 thing i must say he has been a great role model for the youngsters out there. He could have been a Great Captain but PCB didn't like the way he wanted to apply himself. Few Seniors gang didn't let him to become a long term captain. But Overall Younis And Misbah guided Pakistan in the most difficult times of Pakistan History, we were almost got Banned from International Cricket. But these 2 stored the trust, and more importantly brought back integrity back for Pakistan in the opposition eyes.

Salute to the Great Heroes of Pakistan....

 

[imshally81]

Another inspection in ~22 mins.

Any update?

 

[Abdullah719]

Any update?

Lunch taken, play will start in around 43 mins if no rain or wet outfield.

I think he means out of all countries not just Pakistan. Needs 30 odd more to overtake Williamson I think

 

[Abdullah719]

He meant from any country.

Azhar needs 34 runs to overtake Williamson who has 428 runs in a three-match series in Australia.

 

[Zeshan547]

Can azhar over take kohli runs tally in aus in last series ? Even though kohli had 8 innings as compared to azhar's six.

Thanks. Makes sense.

meant most* which is Kane Williamson.

 

[Abdullah719]

Sure, if he makes 298 in the second innings...

 

[Abdul]

Yeah, the typo had me there.

[QalandarFan]

YK struggling against Starc.

 

[ahmedwaqas92]

That no Look Man !!

 

[QalandarFan]

YK should go for the double.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Whoa that six was 108m long!

 

[Abdullah719]

108m six... YK looking for a Big Bash contract?

 

[QalandarFan]

The Six was 108 METERS!

 

[Abdul]

Quite a shame FTB couldn't score like this when we actually needed him and when the series was alive.

Regardless, well batted.

 

[Rayyman]

I hope Pakistan win or draw this game!

 

[QalandarFan]

Man I wish we won the game at the Gabba.

 

[QalandarFan]

338 (50 more runs) Runs Required to avoid Follow-On.

 

[QalandarFan]

 

[Justcrazy]

31 runs partnership

Go to sleep. Watching this match is a waste of time. Plus you'll grow taller if you sleep more.

 

[QalandarFan]

Yasir Shah to Starc

 

[Justcrazy]

Starc bowling really well here

 

[QalandarFan]

Go to sleep. Watching this match is a waste of time. Plus you'll grow taller if you sleep more.

No it's not, A Pakistan Cricket Match is never a waste of time.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yasir survives.

 

[QalandarFan]

Do Younis Khan and Yasir Shah communicate in Pashto?

 

[QalandarFan]

Good shot from Yasir. Seems like the outfield has slowed down.

 

[QalandarFan]

Jacques Kallis has insane Test Numbers.

 

[Justcrazy]

300 up for Pakistan

 

[Justcrazy]

Younis 49 away from 10 K runs here

 

[Syed1]

Kitnay run rehtay hain ATG ke 10k mein?

 

[Syed1]

Lol ok JC answered my question even before I posted

 

[Syed1]

I hope YK gets his remaining 40 odd runs in this match and he doesn't travel to the West Indies

 

[Abdul]

Kitnay run rehtay hain ATG ke 10k mein?

49 more. Hope he leaves for good after getting there.

 

[Junaids]

Fifteen wickets to bowlers in 243 overs.

Reinforces that Pakistan's bowling hasn't actually been that bad.

These are flat, slowish tracks by Aussie standards, but the predictable bounce means that accuracy is the key, and use of the new ball.

 

[Justcrazy]

The more Pakistan bat , the more chances of avoiding white wash here.

 

[imshally81]

I hope YK gets his remaining 40 odd runs in this match and he doesn't travel to the West Indies

49 more. Hope he leaves for good after getting there.

Soch hey Ap ki

 

[QalandarFan]

Yo you guys need to look at the scorecard of the NZ-Ban Match I watched one over and Munro struck 28 Runs in it.

 

[Syed1]

Soch hey Ap ki

Thats a phrase I haven't heard in a long long time. Reminded me of back home

Nah Imran Khan bowled some rubbish to Warner in the first session, Amir didn't bowl at his best.
