Australia vs Pakistan | 2nd Test | Adelaide | Nov 29 - Dec 3, 2019 | Day 4 | Match Thread

[ARK Rafay]

I want to see the stats of soft dismissals of the past 5 years. And I won't be surprised if Pakistan is in top 3

 

[arunpsm]

Whether weather gives any hope to Pak team?

Whether weather gives any hope to Pak team?

If it rains whole day today and tomorrow then yes.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Pakistan have batted almost twice, have lost 15 wickets and yet they still are far away from Australia's first innings total which was made with loss of 3 wickets.

Sums up the test match.

 

[Xoib]

Asad with a soft impactless 50 to get himself another series.

Asad with a soft impactless 50 to get himself another series.

I don't even remember 1 game where he won a match for Pakistan

 

[andy0204]

Asad with a soft impactless 50 to get himself another series.

He is gareebo ka Ajinkya Rahane.

 

[MMHS]

The rate Ifti is batting, after dinners PAK will still need enough not to make Aussies bat again once new ball is due....

 

[Asif321]

Ifti looks Misbah on crease

 

[m.shah]

Come on man no matter what you support your team... I have seen a few Zimbabweans always turning up with their flags and even Afghanistan...they are playing a test here and I’m sure a few people will definitely turn up.i

Even Ramiz mentioned this point that there is not a single Pakistan flag in the ground.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ifti looks Misbah on crease

yes Appearance is like Misba. I noticed him in the first test itself. They better check if it is actually not Misba lol

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan trail by 99 runs .

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan trail by 99 runs .

Cummins or Lyon will get Ifti

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen settled , must carry on and get gig partnership here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If nothing works there is going to be barrage of bouncers.

 

[another drop catch]

Deficit under 100
Both batsmen crossed 20s
Starc pace is down Bowling around 142
Choti choti khushiyaa

 

[Professor]

Lead under 100 now. I know it sounds improbable but if we can somehow get a lead of 150-200, the last day could be really interesting.

 

[Big Mac]

lmao how has that landed on the ground

 

[ARK Rafay]

Gary bowling good line

 

[ARK Rafay]

lmao how has that landed on the ground

Sir Tim Paine :bradman

 

[m.shah]

Looks like wicket will fall on every delivery

 

[angrypathan]

Ifti gonna tire out soon with all these 3's

 

[angrypathan]

Ball starting to reverse

 

[Asif321]

rizwan will have terrible time on spinning track

 

[Big Mac]

Sir Tim Paine :bradman

beechara, still shook at having fewer test hundreds than Yasir

 

[Slog]

These guys should start hitting out before the new ball comes on and they follow each other back home

If we can somehow make aus bat again I’d consider it a huge win for this lot )

 

[Ahmed216]

These batsmen are never set.
Ball still not hitting middle of the bat after an hour or so at the crease

 

[Ahmed216]

Ifti chacha has poor defence and rizwan i'll take becoz doesnt look worse than sarfraz

 

[Ahmed216]

rizwan will have terrible time on spinning track

+1

 

[angrypathan]

Nothing going to the boundary

 

[ARK Rafay]

These two are this close () of getting out

 

[Justcrazy]

Both batsmen look settled , they need to make sure they keep scoreboard ticking.

 

[andy0204]

These two are this close () of getting out

Be positive.

 

[angrypathan]

 

[Big Mac]

****

 

[King_Kohli]

Legend Yasir on the way

 

[imshally81]

 

[Justcrazy]

Iftikhar gone

 

[ARK Rafay]

Centurion in. Too bad Pakistan won't be able to take the trial off

 

[Savak]

Tim Paine is my man of the match with his field placements and getting Nathan Lyon to bowl around the wicket to the right hander.

The Pakistani bowlers would have bowled over the wicket the entire day and no one from the dressing room would have sent a single message

 

[Asif321]

actual batsmen has arrived

 

[arehaan]

Iftikhar is a classic case of weak mental character.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Ifti chacha has poor defence and rizwan i'll take becoz doesnt look worse than sarfraz

should've attacked him .. you cant just let him bowl to you

 

[Slog]

I don’t know why but Ifti chacha reminds me of Fred from Manchester United

 

[tyron_woodley]

labuschagne looks like Darren till rofl.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Iftikhar is a classic case of weak mental character.

Lol he is one of the strongest mind player we have in this team. It is just difficult for him to score big with the technique he has in Australia vs Australia. He'll be good in Pakistani conditions

 

[Ahmed216]

should've attacked him .. you cant just let him bowl to you

Yes could have scored a few...doesnt have proper defensive technique and plays with very low hands which is criminal in Aus

 

[RyanRyan10]

Ifrikhar got his highest test score
Almost doubled his average

He is just getting better and better every innings

 

[andy0204]

Now Pakistan's best batsman is in the crease

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Legend is off the mark

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Iftikhar is a classic case of weak mental character.

Blessing in disguise that he got out, cant afford to play him in this team clearly

 

[ARK Rafay]

Last boundary was hit 16 overs ago

 

[m.shah]

What was Paine saying to yasir?

 

[ARK Rafay]

What a leave that was hahaha

 

[lifecric7]

I see a few Indian brethren enjoying the match in the ground.. I probably would have gone on Saturday as well...waiting for Boxing Day haven’t missed the first day in MCG for past 10 years irrespective of the team

 

[Pete Rose]

A day of mediocre aims and soft dismissals

 

[Big Mac]

Good lad Rizwan. Take it on the body

 

[Ahmed216]

I want to see the stats of soft dismissals of the past 5 years. And I won't be surprised if Pakistan is in top 3

I am certain they're at the top

 

[King_Kohli]

Last boundary was hit 16 overs ago

Yasir will take care now

 

[Captain caveman]

How many runs does yasir need to be pakistan's top runscorer for this series?

 

[lifecric7]

Lyon bowling well

 

[Abdullah719]

A day of mediocre aims and soft dismissals

The usual, then.

 

[andy0204]

4 from Yasira

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Yasir will take care now

yup

 

[Justcrazy]

flicked beautifully wide of fine leg! Superb stroke. Three men back, got a juicy one on the pads and flicked wide of fine leg into the gap!

 

[Big Mac]

Yasir fancies another hundred

 

[King_Kohli]

How many runs does yasir need to be pakistan's top runscorer for this series?

25 more

 

[ARK Rafay]

How many Pakistanis have scored back to back centuries in Australia (in 1 test)?

 

[Captain caveman]

The usual, then.

Don't worry babar will save us ...er oh!

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Yasir needs to get a 50 as well now for the roundup

 

[Captain caveman]

25 more

That would be amazing and yet at the same time quite embarrassing for us Pak fans.

 

[Pete Rose]

I have followed this day of cricket knowing full well it will end with Pakistan failing to overhaul Australia’s totally by 20 odd runs when the new ball is taken

 

[Abdullah719]

Don't worry babar will save us ...er oh!

Get over it, captain.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

25 more

Hope he gets it so the rest of the team understands how pathetic theyve been

 

[King_Kohli]

Yasir needs to get a 50 as well now for the roundup

Babar Azam 210
Yasir Shah 188

 

[King_Kohli]

Hope he gets it so the rest of the team understands how pathetic theyve been

ya
no excuses ..this is typical flat track

 

[Captain caveman]

Get over it, captain.

Ok boss.

 

[andy0204]

How many Pakistanis have scored back to back centuries in Australia (in 1 test)?

No one but Hanif Mohammad was close to score hundreds in both the innings,he scored 104,93 respectively in 1 test.

 

[Captain caveman]

Babar Azam 210
Yasir Shah 188

Wow!
Something is wrong here, either yasir's found his inner bradman or our batsman need to retire from cricket and do something else with the exception of babar and shafiq.

 

[emranabbas]

Hope these 2 can give us a lead of 200 odd we may have a chance pitch is supporting spin never know what can happen lol
