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

[Captain caveman]

Am sure imam or shan will be knocked over in this short period before the break.

Lets take a poll., how many wickets will Pakistan lose before the break?
I reckon 3

 

[jnaveen1980]

Sehwag got two triples, if i am not mistaken.
One in multan, a test that would rival this one for boredom.

But Sehwag was never boring. Ironically Sehwag was one of the source of inspiration for Warner to take up test cricket seriously. He gave him a tip that how test match field set will allow you to play with freedom. It is like permanent power play. But you have to be a talented stroke player which Warner is.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan has to bat for 26 mins.

Yes i am aware of the advice sehwag gave warner.
To be honest, any innings lasting over a day is boring.

 

[Shafi]

Really really selfish thing by Paine. Why he deprived Warner to break the World record?
Now with the loss of small margin PCB will retain both Misbah and Waqar and Wasim K will boast about some stupid positive things.

 

[Asif321]

People wanted Shaan as captain
It’s not out though

 

[bluevision]

Saved by the Edge... Tentative review though by Shaan

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Is Shan out? lol

 

[Ahmed216]

Seriously poor body language from shan masood. Yaar show some fight u r also a cricketer

Are you a child?
This is a test championship match!
Rain is forcast for the following days

 

[Relic]

Why are they struggling so much?

 

[Shafi]

3 sessions are more than enough to bowled us twice.

 

[big_gamer007]

Openers need to survive for 10 overs. They need luck and prayers after that it will become easy for Pakistan.

 

[Asif321]

Imam playing first time in Australia

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Have our openers prevented the golden ducks yuhuu!

 

[Hawkeye]

)

Shan Masood, how clueless and nervous he always is.

So far both having hugeee luck.

 

[Captain caveman]

3 sessions are more than enough to bowled us twice.

Maybe, maybe someone will suprise you.

 

[Mamoon]

I think I am finally done with Pakistan cricket. We will always be a rubbish side.

Pakistan cricket is finished. We have never been a proper elite team, but our days of being competitive are over as well.

No point being competitive against the likes of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Indies, Afghanistan etc.

We are just not capable of competing with the likes of India, Australia, England and New Zealand. South Africa might be down for now but they are not out. They have more pedigree and talent than us, and they will revive.

Sad, sad times.

 

[Shafi]

The way Australia is bowling we might loose 2-3 in the 2nd innings by the end of today.

 

[Shafi]

What a different level of bowling by Aussies.

You told it many times bro.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Imam to score a Triple Ton

 

[lifecric7]

Aussies again mocking imams call for run.

 

[lifecric7]

Aussies again mocking imams call for run.

Like they did for Babar

 

[Mamoon]

You told it many times bro.

It is hard to stop watching cricket though. I can support my second and third teams but it is not the same as supporting your country - the place you were born and where you live. It makes you feel like a traitor.

You retiring?

 

[big_gamer007]

This is golden opportunity for Imam and Shan to cement their place in Pakistan team. Just need to survive first 10-12 overs.

Brother be patient everything will be ok.

 

[Captain caveman]

I think no fast bowler should be allowed to play for pakistan, unless he is at least 6 foot tall, preferably 6 foot 2+.

 

[pratiktc]

We were seeing threads saying Pak should consider declaring after 60 ovs to bowl in night session with new ball

Will they even be batting by tomorrow to think of this?

 

[Ahmed216]

This is golden opportunity for Imam and Shan to cement their place in Pakistan team. Just need to survive first 10-12 overs.

But at the moment their feet look like stuck in cement

 

[Mamoon]

You retiring?

I wanted to break your record but I think I am running out of steam. I feel like a tired, old horse.

 

[Captain caveman]

I wonder what M. Asif is thinking, watching this rubbish

 

[Shazzam]

I think no fast bowler should be allowed to play for pakistan, unless he is at least 6 foot tall, preferably 6 foot 2+.

Should we bring Irfan back?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan not looking to score just survive , this kind of mentality is hurting them.

 

[Captain caveman]

Brother be patient everything will be ok.

Yes misbah will fix everything

 

[Amirforpresident]

It is hard to stop watching cricket though. I can support my second and third teams but it is not the same as supporting your country - the place you were born and where you live. It makes you feel like a traitor.

In all seriousness, is Pakistan even your first team though? So far Ive been for about 4 years on this forum and Ive never seen you say anything positive about Pakistan cricket even after CT17. You are presen When Pakistan isnt performing and When Pakistan does youre nowhere to be seen and appear again after couple of days or a week and Come with ** like its a fluke or law of average stuff.

 

[lifecric7]

Automatic selection gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

I wanted to break your record but I think I am running out of steam. I feel like a tired, old horse.

You dont to be like kapil dev and just hang around to break records when your past your best.

Watching pakistan ages you quickly

 

[Captain caveman]

Should we bring Irfan back?

They have to be fit and have bowling skills as well, so er .. no.

 

[BlueBeamer]

Starc you beauty...Aussies bowling like its a different wicket

 

[big_gamer007]

But at the moment their feet look like stuck in cement

The extra pace is the undoing. It seems Pakistani openers are not used to playing at such pace with good bounce

 

[Justcrazy]

Imam gone

 

[Amjid Javed]

Excellent knock from imam.

Hes only 23, scored big in odis and future captain on test side like graeme smith.

 

[Mamoon]

You dont to be like kapil dev and just hang around to break records when your past your best.

Watching pakistan ages you quickly

Of course you would want that. I am Cook and you are Tendulkar.

 

[Captain caveman]

One down 9 to go

 

[rollingstoned]

I think no fast bowler should be allowed to play for pakistan, unless he is at least 6 foot tall, preferably 6 foot 2+.

Everyone seems to be bitten by the junaids bug. Just being a tall bowling machine is no good like Chris tremlett or Stuart Clarke. Look at what india did and what akhtar and waqar have done.

 

[MMHS]

Of all the declines, I would say most alarming is the new ball skills - yesterday, on a gloomy morning, PAK pair hardly moved the ball, but today on a sunny afternoon, Aussie pair are making that pink ball talk - and these two are not even their best mover of ball; after break Josh will start

 

[Shazzam]

They have to be fit and have bowling skills as well, so er .. no.

Dang, I see.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Night watchmen sent in as its night time at the ground

 

[Ahmed216]

The extra pace is the undoing. It seems Pakistani openers are not used to playing at such pace with good bounce

I expected more from Imam,some sort of a fight. But i guess they are very low spirited atm

 

[Shazzam]

Our Bradman Ali is here

 

[TeamPak95]

This is depressing

 

[Captain caveman]

Everyone seems to be bitten by the junaids bug. Just being a tall bowling machine is no good like Chris tremlett or Stuart Clarke. Look at what india did and what akhtar and waqar have done.

You have to have skills as well.
Waqar and akhtar are about 6ft i would say.

 

[AAli98]

If Aus want to be really evil they should bat again & win the game by a record 700 runs.. plenty of time left

 

[Aman]

This pitch turned into a green top for Pakistan's innings

 

[Mamoon]

I don’t sugarcoat our mediocrity. Just because I criticize it doesn’t mean I don’t support.

 

[Captain caveman]

Night watchmen sent in as its night time at the ground

You are going to have to be more specific, we have about 9 night watchmen in our team.

 

[Captain caveman]

I don’t sugarcoat our mediocrity. Just because I criticize it doesn’t mean I don’t support.

I am sure the pakistan players appreciate your support.

Really summarizes difference in outlook towards cricket between Aus and Pak

 

[andy0204]

Pakistan are looking dead,i feel for pakistanis.

 

[mesmerizer85]

This humiliation is justified for PAK team as they keep ignoring merit based players and induct nepotistic selections.

 

[shariqnoor]

Just relentless good length bowling from Australia at over 140kph. Pakistani batsmen can't survive that.

I thought Shaheen bowled pretty well with the new ball yesterday but then you have Abbas with 125kph on the other end. No pressure created whatsoever.

This team will be bowled out in the night session. No evidence to suggest these guys can bat even 50 overs here.

 

[Captain caveman]

This humiliation is justified for PAK team as they keep ignoring merit based players and induct nepotistic selections.

Humiliation is reserved for our indian brothers.
This is a normal 'day at the office' for our team.

 

[Aviator]

Your team is doomed when your top three batsman are masood, imam and azhar.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Tim Paine saved Pakistan from letting Warner Score the highest individual test score

 

[Mamoon]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] more humiliation for you 35000 people in today

They are here to watch Warner score a triple-hundred. They are not here to watch Pakistan.

Do you seriously think the Australian public care about this Pakistan team and I am getting humiliated here?

 

[andy0204]

Tim Paine saved Pakistan from letting Warner Score the highest individual test score

But Australia are going through Junaids theory

 

[Shafi]

Really summarizes difference in outlook towards cricket between Aus and Pak

Its not like I am a great fan of Warner but knowing how PCB work its always better to loose by Australia by huge margin so Wasim Khan will be exposed along with Misbah and Waqar and PCB may force to bring some positive drastic changes which will help Pakistan cricket in the long run. Most likely domestic pitch and selection committee.

 

[lifecric7]

So how much will Pakistan score in first innings??

 

[ARK Rafay]

But Australia are going through Junaids theory

And what's that?

 

[Subhan999]

Sad, sad times.

I thought ur an Indian

 

[ARK Rafay]

So how much will Pakistan score in first innings??

~250. 350 at tops if Babar gets a big hundred

 

[andy0204]

And what's that?

Make opposition bat under lights.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistani fans: Imam, tum test team mey kya kar rahe ho?

Imam: Kyuki Abba Harmonium bajate thhe.

Pakistani fans: Abey Saaley!

Imam: Tameez

Pakistani fans: Maaf kijiye gussey me thhora idhr udhr nikal jaate haen )

 

[Mamoon]

I thought ur an Indian

I am not, although I greatly admire Indian cricket and prefer to see them win unless they are playing Pakistan or England.

 

[Captain caveman]

I thought ur an Indian

Your not the first to think that

 

[Mesozoic]

So how much will Pakistan score in first innings??

190

 

[Captain caveman]

How long is this last session, im pretty tired now?

 

[andy0204]
