Australia v Pakistan | 3rd Test | Sydney | Jan 3-7, 2017 | Day 5

I am missing Rameez's commentary.

He brings a little flair to the proceedings
 
Misbah really wanted to smash O'Keefe on that last ball
 
Yasir played well in all honesty. For all the slogs Wahab Riaz can hit, his defense is equally poor.
 
50/1 and now 101/5

What the hell

Babar has done poor
But didn't expect much
He shouldn't be at 3
Was definitely thrown in the deep end while Shafiq was comforted and returned to 6 after 1 failure
 
Another 33 runs and this will be the most runs Pakistan have ever scored in a 3 test series in Australia.
 
Wouldn't be surprised if we get whitewashed in the odis

T20i too
Got a quite different side
I think Kamran and Afridi get recall for t20i

Lol

No demons in the pitch as well. Just silly shots..

That's the most worrying thing as a team to be honest where you gift wickets rather than letting bowlers earn those wickets.

Actually, scratch that. I made an error when checking Statsguru, we need 88 runs (203 total) to beat Pakistan's previous best for runs scored in a 3 test series in Australia. It would also be the most any Asian team has scored in 3 tests in Australia.
 
I tell U what guys this Tour will go down as a great learning tour for Pakistan. We dont get to play Australia like may be other team does e.g India, SA or England. But Pakistan will become a good team after this tour is over. People are criticising Pakistan team. But this tour has opened doors for some deserving players to come into the team now. Amir lacking wicket taking skills, which means Inzamam might look at Hassan Ali as a bowling unit. Misbah terms coming to an end. So things looking good from here on words.

The players who perform in domestic cricket must be given a go.
 
Micheal Clarke speaks so much sense of cricketing. May be we should hire him as a coach once mickey term is finished.

Yap. WI series will be a great chance to test your strength. We need to send a new bowling unit there. Amir, wahab, must not play tests until we see any improvements in their ODI careers.
 
Will we be fortunate enough to witness one final Misbah Surprise Six™ before the day is up? :salute

Ego is a Big problem in our culture. Javed bhai didn't work that well with the team. Boys were not happy with his working and training methods. But Can Saurav Ganguly become the Coach for us, oh man he will go down as a great coach. Sad we cant have him even batting coach.
 
Aussies commentators are so annoying. All they want to talk about is how to get the batsmen OUT. Like if there is no coaching staff avaible to do that job. Please dont annoy is and also talk about Cricket and dont be biased.🙄
 
You could see he was shaping to slog that last ball before lunch before deciding to defend it :)) :salute
 
Babar Shot selection is beyond it. I mean if Chota Akmal was playing he would have atleast scored some good 40s here. But Babar what is he thinking when he decides to play across the line. 3 times now he has been LBW recently. He better work out poor technique, otherwise alor of batsmen are waiting in the list.
 
Anyone else dreading the one days?

Honestly I think someone like Warner could potentially make 200 against our attack.

Guaranteed to be 5 nil but can see some real big scores by the Aussies

Yes the only way to keep the Aussie scores low would be for Pak to bat first.

Javed was a great cricketer , but did not do a good job, whatever job he has been given in cricket coaching or administration. Always some "phadda".

Ashar and Imad Wasim early on can take him out. Trust me if the Captain is brave and experimental, you can stop Warner early, need to show bravery and guts to make bold decision.

That is an old issue with Australian commentators. Healy in particular exhorts Australian bowlers to take a wicket. He should not be anywhere near commentary box.
 
Absolutely abysmal stuff from Pakistan 3-0 the same story specially after the moral stuff from Brisbane pathetic display all around particularly the bowlers as our batting has always been iffy Azhar Mehmood is not made for Test level coaching he is only fit for pyjama leagues need a good bowling coach asap Misbah plz retire as 4 tests against With will help us groom a young player batting unit should be persisted with but bowlers where are you
 
We should really stop touring Australia for a while now. The amount of hammerings we have had down under is beyond a joke now
