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

Don't think he'll get to 400.
He'll probably play a lazy shot and get out. But a great innings nonetheless
 
Australia’s chase for personal glory is going to cost them the test match. We will have to declare 200 runs behind tomorrow and allow them to set a target for 400 for us to chase down easily
 
Don't think Australia will be that foolish to deprive Warner to get 400-500 runs. Its only day 2. Even 5th day is good enough to bowl us twice. Our team doesn't have answer to Strc, Cummins, Hazel or Lyon

It will cost them the match.
Tomorrow it's forecasted to rain all day and on this pitch I'd back our players to survive 90 overs each innings
 
INdia was on well on their way to a crushing INnings win against NZ at wellington when NZ had 5 wickets and they were trailing by 152 to make India bat again. Then Baz made a 300. I think India dropped a catch. Watling, Neesham Centuries test ended in a draw. Master Dhoni was the captain.

He should have been kicked out as a test captain in 2011,but Godfather Srinimama had a back on him

That's the only way we can get his wicket. But he will have enough stamina to survive until dinner and than start fresh after dinner break.
 
Just checked the score. Wow, Warner 300 well done. So Pak's toothless bowling (minus Shaheen) and captaincy continues..

It'll actually be harder to play after dinner.
Once he sits down to eat and then stands up when he's finished, he'll really feel the tiredness.
 
Musa already on a hundred ! was he supposed to be that bad?
 
Anyhoo the squad selection has been awful for this tour.

There’s nothing wrong with squad selection. This is the best team Pakistan can field at this time. Many complained about not having Abbas in the last match we have him now. One can always talk about some failed veteran or untried teenager to join the team and change it’s fortune but this rarely happens in real life.

The problem is with the overall quality of Pakistani cricket these days due to nepotism, greed and lack of investment, not with team selection.
 
This 300 isn't even about him scoring it. It's about the pace.
The guy's playing as if it's an ODI and he's actually managing to score too
 
It will cost them the match.

People think misbah is stupid, but his not, this is his master plan, let the aussies bat for two days, rain will wipe a day or a day and a half away and pak will bat out the rest of the time for a draw.
Huge accomplishment, i dont think we have drawn a test in australia for decades maybe 24 years, i am not sure,
Misbah will be a hero!

Yes playing a 19 year old debutant whose only played 7 first class games is the best selection for pakistan.

Bro, he will not eat oily biriyani. Plus our bowling is nothing special apart from Afridi to be worry about. And Australian by born have 3-4 times more stamina than sub-continent people.

Ok boomer

It's not about what he eats.
Have you never felt that before?
When you sit down after running for 30 mins straight and then you stand up you feel extremely tired?
 
Even after 329* Warner looks more energetic than Azhar Ali start of the innings for sure.

I told you we sub-continent people tired easily because of our food habit and contaminated food from childhood. Aussie, European are mentally very tough with enormous stamina.
 
I predict warners career will go downhill from here. He has exerted himself too much in this innings, he will never be the same player again. Insaw this happen to lara.
 
I had seen Taylor’s epic 334 against Pakistan as a kid and witnessing this.. how things change but also stay sane. Awesome from Warner
 
I don't think the Australian management will play for a win.They will give complete freedom to warner to complete his 400 considering Australia will win the test series even if pakistan somehow manages for a draw.

Keep predicting whereas other teams will leapfrog Pakistan in every other way

No. WTC points are at stake. They won't get easier points against other opponents.

He only faced 400-odd deliveries, were it not for Pakistan's epic fielding, he should have been out by now :facepalm:

It's not like he's scoring against McGrath and Warne
 
Its also the reason that tendulkar never scored a trriple century in his career.

Tendulkar when is in attacking mood gets out early. It is what he did most of his career. Being an attacking player. One time he decided to abandon his favorite off side shots he made 241 not out.

He's talking about Warner and you're getting salty and replying about Pakistan.
This is the height of obsession.
You conceded 300 as well against Aus a few years ago. So don't get overexcited

241 very impressive.
I think wasim akram's top test score is 259
 
Didn't want to score too many after passing Bradman I think. Australia were 599/4 then I think.

Didn’t pass Bradman (his highest is 334), and declared on that score; but later Hayden decided to cross that mark.
 
75 all out incoming for Pakistan.

That 1 hour rain on the first day prevented Warner from getting 400.
 
Very absurd declaration. Why on earth would you prevent him from getting 400? In fact, he could have broken laras 500 in fc cricket in general. Paine knows aus will win by an innings anyway.
 
Am sure imam or shan will be knocked over in this short period before the break.
