Australia vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Adelaide | Nov 29 - Dec 3, 2019 | Day 2 | Match Thread

[The Viper]

The misery continues

 

[shariqnoor]

Warner 300 and Labuschagne 250 incoming.

Pakistan will bat against the new ball under lights tonight and will be shot for 75.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan need to get some early wickets. If Aussies cross 500, it is game over probably.

 

[LegendAli]

Boring day ahead.

We have no game unfortunately.

 

[Hyperion66]

Yasir wouldn't get into Indian domestic sides, why is Azhar starting with him? Shaheen should have started.

 

[angrypathan]

Musa is even more frustrating to watch than Tanvir Ahmed in South Africa in 2013

 

[Captain caveman]

I am going to bed,.
Saturday tomorrow, l will takes the kids out, cant waste my sleep on a hopeless team!
I hope to wake in the morning to find aussies all out for 400 and Pakistan on 200 for 1. But the reality will be aussies 600 for 4 declared
and Pakistan 70 for 5.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Musa is even more frustrating to watch than Tanvir Ahmed in South Africa in 2013

At least tanvir did well vs SA 2010 and NZ 2011.

 

[Shazzam]

Lets go Warner! Make 200.

 

[Josh]

Yasir in nervous 99 in 16 overs

 

[Shazzam]

Maybe Warner could get his highest score.

 

[MMHS]

Ok, this one is a bit too much even for Misbah- Azhar: I know it’s 73 overs old pink ball, but new day, early start ... and they open with Ifti-Yasir. FGS, we are watching PCT playing Test match in Aussie land.........

 

[angrypathan]

100 up for Yasir

 

[jnaveen1980]

Congrats Yasir on another well deserved 100

 

[Shazzam]

Yasir made a well made century.

 

[TeamPak95]

Bill Ponsford and Don Bradman highest Aussie test partnership of 451 could be broken by Warner and Labu.

 

[Hyperion66]

Congrats Yasir on the century!! I haven't seen a bowler more consistently hopeless than him, worst bowler to have 200 wks.

 

[Ertugrul_Bey]

Tolerated Misbah while he played for Pakistan and but can no longer tolerate seeing him play with Pakistan cricket.

 

[Shazzam]

Ok, this one is a bit too much even for Misbah- Azhar: I know it’s 73 overs old pink ball, but new day, early start ... and they open with Ifti-Yasir. FGS, we are watching PCT playing Test match in Aussie land.........

Its a good strategy to let the batters settle in. Misbah wants to make sure they get a good warm up to face the fast bowlers easier.

 

[TeamPak95]

Has Azhar thrown in the towel already? Why is he starting with Yasir and keep continuing with him? Seriously, are you even actually looking for wickets??

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even commies sound disinterested.

 

[Hyperion66]

Ok, this one is a bit too much even for Misbah- Azhar: I know it’s 73 overs old pink ball, but new day, early start ... and they open with Ifti-Yasir. FGS, we are watching PCT playing Test match in Aussie land.........

Exactly this!! When you start fresh you always start with your best bowler no matter the condition of the ball or pitch.

 

[TeamPak95]

This game is like watching a contest between the t-rex and the guy that was hiding from the t-rex in the porto potty in Jurassic Park.

 

[Titan24]

This game is like watching a contest between the t-rex and the guy that was hiding from the t-rex in the porto potty in Jurassic Park.

Yes pretty much summed it up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

No variation No control No pace Yasir looks worse than Steve smith the leggie at this point.

 

[Captain caveman]

350 for 1
This is just pathetic!
Give shaheen the new ball, its our only chance of regaining some respectability, but we have really passed that point, to be honest.

 

[Boiz Played Well]

Second new ball available. Will it get more interesting now? Maybe? No?

 

[Hyperion66]

Lol at Men v boyz, this is godzilla Vs teletubbies going on.

 

[Josh]

No control whatsoever from Yasir ..straight predictable deliveries. Going strong at 6.5 rpo

 

[jnaveen1980]

Worst feeling for a cricket fans is two batsmen batting for more than 2 sessions at a fair clip.

 

[Captain caveman]

Has Azhar thrown in the towel already? Why is he starting with Yasir and keep continuing with him? Seriously, are you even actually looking for wickets??

Azhar is clueless!
Needs to be sacked.

 

[Captain caveman]

Lol at Men v boyz, this is godzilla Vs teletubbies going on.

This made me laugh!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Labu is standing a foot outside the crease for Abbas

 

[Shazzam]

Azhar is clueless!
Needs to be sacked.

I say its the combination of captain and coaches.

 

[angrypathan]

What in the world is Azhar doing delaying the new ball?

 

[Hyperion66]

What is Yasir averaging now in Aus? Must be in the thousands!! Piyush Chawla is a better bowler than him.

 

[Captain caveman]

I say its the combination of captain and coaches.

Sack them all!

 

[Shazzam]

Sack them all!

Now were talking >=]

 

[m.shah]

Lol cricbuzz saying plZ plz take the new ball pak . This is shame actually

 

[angrypathan]

This alone should be the end of Yasir's career. He doesn't deserve to play the home tests against Sri Lanka.

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is Yasir averaging now in Aus? Must be in the thousands!! Piyush Chawla is a better bowler than him.

It is not just about the average, his utter lack of control with a dry ball is mind boggling. I remember Imran Tahir landing the ball pitch perfectly with a wet ball

 

[Captain caveman]

What in the world is Azhar doing delaying the new ball?

And people say umar is thick.
I rather umar akmal be captain than this clown.

 

[Captain caveman]

It is not just about the average, his utter lack of control with a dry ball is mind boggling. I remember Imran Tahir landing the ball pitch perfectly with a wet ball

How did we let imran tahir go?
Our selectors are pathetic!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yasir shah is so lucky he never had to face someone like Sehwag who obliterated guys like Saqlain, Murali, Warne, Herath.

 

[Hyperion66]

Yasir might just score his double before Warner.

 

[TeamPak95]

What in the world is Azhar doing delaying the new ball?

We have to lower the run rate and then attack with the new ball. Strategy, my friend, strategy

 

[Captain caveman]

This alone should be the end of Yasir's career. He doesn't deserve to play the home tests against Sri Lanka.

Now dont get too angry, pathan , yasir is king in asia, he is just not suitable to play outside of asia.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The gap in skills is a yawning chasm. The SL -PAK series should be interesting. SL are indeed the better side but Pakistan should complete well if they win the toss.

 

[Hyperion66]

How did we let imran tahir go?
Our selectors are pathetic!

A blindfolded Imran Tahir hopping on one leg with one hand tied behind his back is a better bowler than Yasir.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

It feels sad to see Pak bowl like this!

 

[Titan24]

Abbas after 20 overs with no ball hitting the stumps.

 

[jnaveen1980]

20.5 overs not a single ball is hitting the stumps from Abbas. Not in rhythm is uppose

 

[Captain caveman]

The gap in skills is a yawning chasm. The SL -PAK series should be interesting. SL are indeed the better side but Pakistan should complete well if they win the toss.

SL are not better than us.
Dont judge us by misbah's failings.

 

[JattMaula]

Abbas has bowled more than 55% short! Criminal at 120kph.

 

[Shazzam]

Misbah the Test specialist doing well.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Only decent bowler who could end up become a good test match bowler is Shaheen.

 

[JattMaula]

ut

 

[Captain caveman]

20.5 overs not a single ball is hitting the stumps from Abbas. Not in rhythm is uppose

Abbas is bowling slower than by nan and she is dead!
This guys been found out, please get haris rauf in the team.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

Shaheen you beauty!!!

 

[Hyperion66]

Yasir shah is so lucky he never had to face someone like Sehwag who obliterated guys like Saqlain, Murali, Warne, Herath.

Sehwag would have wiped that moronic smile off his face and made him cry I swear,

 

[Shazzam]

Bring Junaid Khan back

 

[jnaveen1980]

As predicted he is the only one who is likely to take a wicket.

 

[Titan24]

Beauty from Shaheen amongst garbage at other ends

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yasir's supposed "bunny" is in next.

 

[Hyperion66]

Shabash Shaheen Shah!! only true international class bowler in Pak team.

 

[Hyperion66]

Beauty from Shaheen amongst garbage at other ends

This is sad and heartwarming at the same time that the kid is fighting it out like a lone warrior while others only making it harder for him.

 

[Captain caveman]

As predicted he is the only one who is likely to take a wicket.

He is going to have to take all 20 aussie wickets, cos no one else is going to take any.

 

[JattMaula]

2x

 

[jnaveen1980]

Superb 200 by Warner. Fine exhibition of batting.

 

[Captain caveman]

This is sad and heartwarming at the same time that the kid is fighting it out like a lone warrior while others only making it harder for him.

Truer words have never been spoken.
C'mon champ! Only need 8 more wickets from you.

 

[Square Drive]

First time I've ever been this disinterested in a Pakistan game.

Thank you Misbah. You really are a disease.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

SL are not better than us.
Dont judge us by misbah's failings.

They whitewashed you even when Misbah was nowhere near the team.

 

[Josh]

Good performance by Shaheen despite not having an experienced bowling partner on from the other end he has done very well.

 

[Hyperion66]

Congrats Warner, hope Yasir will soon catch up.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen is pure class.

 

[Captain caveman]

First time I've ever been this disinterested in a Pakistan game.

Thank you Misbah. You really are a disease.

You watch how great misbah will be, he will single handily make football pakistans no.1 team sport!

 

[Captain caveman]

Congrats Warner, hope Yasir will soon catch up.

Lol! Thats funny!

 

[Captain caveman]

They whitewashed you even when Misbah was nowhere near the team.

You forgot about mickey?

 

[TeamPak95]

Man, Shaheen's back must hurt carrying the bowling attack.

 

[Titan24]

This is sad and heartwarming at the same time that the kid is fighting it out like a lone warrior while others only making it harder for him.

True.
