Australia vs Pakistan | 1st Test | Brisbane | Nov 21-25, 2019 l Day 4 l Match Thread

[MMHS]

In other game Shantner has a figure of. 8’3-4-6-3 ... after scoring 120+ on that track and skiers declaring at 600+ This actually is indicative of English expiation about spin bowling & spin play.

Make this annoying for Aus, make em bat again Shaheen

Let's aim higher. Make them come back for a 5th day

Although yes, with 24 overs left and a potential extension by half an hour it's not happening

 

[Pete Rose]

pakistan have really fought well with their inexperienced side .. now with 8 wickets down their tail should get good batting practice against likes of starc, cummins etc.,

They are not an inexperienced side. They have two batsmen who have played 70 test matches each and are averaging 25 for the last two years and legspinner with 200 wickets

 

[TeamPak95]

In both the innings Pakistan's first 5 wickets fell at 94. In both innings second half outscored the first half.

That's Pakistan for you

 

[Pete Rose]

I think imran khan might need 2 bats

 

[saeed5646]

Can we have our concession replacement for imran khan

If I was an ICC higher up and Pakistan somehow take this to day 5, I'd award one, singular point for Pakistan in the WTC points table .

 

[saeed5646]

Imam will not be bad option

And remember - that is without “all-rounder” and Yasir batting at 8, with 9, 10 and 11are all jack.

These things happen when a top order is set to play long innings and a partnership is built - Test cricket was like that even in 1876....

 

[Big Mac]

Shaheen with an innings of which The Rahat would be proud

 

[Big Mac]

I don't think Shaheen fancied bowling today )

Don’t worry the coach has told us this is a young tour and we need 4 to 5 months. So we might send the emerging team to play the second test

 

[jnaveen1980]

Hazlewood averages 15 for the innings despite bowling a lot of overs.

Actually I meant inexperienced in terms of playing on australian soil. Except azhar ali/babar azam not all batsmen have australian playing experience.

bowling wise except yasir shah every one else is new to australia I believe

 

[Mercurial]

Azhar and Shan must be replaced in the next Test. Make Rizwan the captain. I would stick with Haris and Iftikhar.

Not sure though if coach himself will be there in 4-5 months time to teach boys.

 

[tyron_woodley]

Dishing out flat decks can backfire if the opposition also shows up. Aussies must be disappointed to let them get away after a great second innings start.

it's a bouncy flat wicket though.
in india it's low bouncy flat

 

[Boi]

Immy K! )

 

[Mercurial]

I would opt for Musa in place of Imran, instead of Abbas.

 

[Relic]

They are not an inexperienced side. They have two batsmen who have played 70 test matches each and are averaging 25 for the last two years and legspinner with 200 wickets

How did you come to that conclusion?
Obviously our side is inexperienced.
We've played 200 odd test matches in total compared to au's 400 odd.
Our bowling unit has played 50 odd test matches in total. Aus' have played 200+.

A clear difference

 

[geraltofrivia]

13-0

 

[jnaveen1980]

That's that. Good batting practice for Babar, Rizwan, Yasir.
