David Warner 151* as Australia pile on 312/1 at Stumps on Day 2 against Pakistan at the Gabba

[Mainul]

PM Imran should look into the inside of Pak cricket. Pak cricket is in wrong hands , I shall say deformed hands which have disabled Pak cricket.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Yasir shah is such a one-dimensional bowler. It is amazing he has such a phenomenal record. Not seen any variations. May be doesn't work here?

 

[JaDed]

Not sure if Archer would have set the gabba alight either.

Yeah but i wanna see his egoistic(my bias) self bowl to Warner and Smith here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Our only hope is to bore these two into dismissals. We are bowling like a cheap bowling machine. Monotonous, boring, pathetic bowling.

Once the ball becomes older anyone can bat freely here as Asad, Rizwan, Yasir showed y day. You will have loads of time.

 

[Darkrai]

People are actually watching this?

Relax , why are you having a meltdown.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Fast trundler? Even when he steps out he is not able to hurry the batsman. Probably he is slow of the pitch. He will be more handy in England.

Shaheen is brilliant prospect unfair to judge a 19 year old in his first year in cricket that too in alien conditions. I just hope Naseem and Shaheen don't get injured or lose confidence after this mauling by Aussies. This is a cruel for the youngsters.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why even bother arranging these tours? No use for both teams, it's the norm now and I don't feel embarrassed anymore.

Australia only get net practice, no challenge for them as well.

 

[JaDed]

Yes gonna crash, hopefully gonna wake up to see some magic spell that was bowed

 

[dildilpak]

Easy Test championship points for Australia, perhaps??

Begaani shadi me Abdullah diwana

Nothing to do with age. It is just the way he releases the ball is different. It is almost like he loses pace after pitching.

 

[jnaveen1980]

It is useful for Pakistan. Young bowling squad can learn a lot from it.

 

[Captain caveman]

Shaheen after a bad start, has bowled well.
Shaheen and naseem have bowled quite decently. Just nothing in the pitch and the useless kookaburra ball.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Easy Test championship points for Australia, perhaps??

But we all know Australia is going to win. Current Pakistani team is no match for them.

 

[Kashmirilion]

Shaheen after a bad start, has bowled well.

This

 

[jnaveen1980]

wow with 10 wickets in hand with just 23 runs deficit. It is almost like Australia has 2 full innings as against Pakistan's one innings.

 

[hussain.r97]

Ball doing nothing, but Pakistan haven't helped themselves with the extremely defensive field placements. Poor captaincy.

 

[Mamoon]

When you bat first on this pitch you have to press home the advantage. It is a 400 wicket, and that is what Pakistan should have scored. Simply goes to show how bad we are.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Meanwhile williamson has missed out on his start.

 

[angrypathan]

Can't believe our 'workhorse' bowler Imran has had to have been bowled the least for the simple reason that he's rubbish

 

[jnaveen1980]

You are up against a top bowling attack even though a flat deck. Funny part is Pakistan played the first session well. Probably the toughest session and botched up completely in the easier sessions.

 

[Mainul]

A chapter that somehow keeps repeating.

This outcome is natural when the whole organization is run by biased, dishonest, corrupted, unfit people, u are bound to suffer when team is selected based on nepotism and favoritism

 

[Kashmirilion]

Can't believe our 'workhorse' bowler Imran has had to have been bowled the least for the simple reason that he's rubbish

We need to protect him so he don't get injured for the next test. Can't have a express bowler like him bowling too many overs.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Where's the GOAT Imran Khan?

 

[Pete Rose]

Australia plays cricket Australia like Pakistan plays in UAE. Bat once, and use scoreboard pressure/ fatigue to mentally defeat the opposition. Pakistan should not be too disheartened by this. It’s a flat pitch, let them bat as long they want and then go out and bat as long as needed

Australia will try and bat almost all of tomorrow as well. Watch Lyon wreck havoc on days 4 and 5

 

[Mainul]

Pakistan has a whole book filled with black chapter's. Nothing new here..

You can write it now, if Misbah gets a reign for a long time the history shall be rewritten and it will surpass all the previous ones.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Shaheen after a bad start, has bowled well.
Shaheen and naseem have bowled quite decently. Just nothing in the pitch and the useless kookaburra ball.

Australia bowled with the same ball.

*used to play. They lost to NZ and SL.

 

[RajBan]

Naseem looks to be a really good prospect. He and Shaheen can rejuvenate Pakistani fast bowling in coming years, atleast they have all the right traits at this age.

Why is Abbas, who has such a good record, not playing?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Azhar Ali has a funky field placement at short mid on

 

[Pete Rose]

*used to play. They lost to NZ and SL.

Pointless addition, but yes used to play

 

[Ellipsism]

Definition of a fluke wicket that.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Man. Just 3 runs off his century Burns. Played so well.

 

[Mainul]

When you bat first on this pitch you have to press home the advantage. It is a 400 wicket, and that is what Pakistan should have scored. Simply goes to show how bad we are.

I am surprised to see how people dare to hope when batsmen like Azhar and Asad are the leaders of the pack.

 

[hussain.r97]

Lucky, but much needed!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Finally a wicket. Yasir is the man to do !!

 

[Jeetlodil]

wicket. otherwise this would have been double batting for Australia vs once for Pakistan

 

[angrypathan]

About time. Burns getting a century would have been a shocker

 

[jnaveen1980]

Heart breaking for Burns. He dragged it. Missed out on a deserved 100.

 

[Pete Rose]

Australia will try and bat almost all of tomorrow as well. Watch Lyon wreck havoc on days 4 and 5

Of course they will. Point is Australian pitches don’t become raging turners. Pakistan kept Australia in the field for two days in Melbourne in 2016 and they shrugged it off and Warner blasted it all over the place. Pakistan will be batting on a day three pitch. They need to show courage.

 

[hussain.r97]

Bring on Naseem now, he's our most attacking bowler!

 

[jnaveen1980]

About time. Burns getting a century would have been a shocker

He made a 180 only 2 test innings before. this

 

[Darkrai]

Indians are very active in here, i wonder why.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Indians are very active in here, i wonder why.

Is there a scientific term for this. Indians getting excited on Pakistan humiliation. Pakistani getting excited on India's humiliation?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Of course they will. Point is Australian pitches don’t become raging turners. Pakistan kept Australia in the field for two days in Melbourne in 2016 and they shrugged it off and Warner blasted it all over the place. Pakistan will be batting on a day three pitch. They need to show courage.

Courage is not a substitute for Skill, temperament. When you are out there, you against 11 players.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wow! A wicket, finally!

 

[Jeetlodil]

Of course they will. Point is Australian pitches don’t become raging turners. Pakistan kept Australia in the field for two days in Melbourne in 2016 and they shrugged it off and Warner blasted it all over the place. Pakistan will be batting on a day three pitch. They need to show courage.

Australia will be batting tomorrow also. Hope Pakistan also bat

 

[ARK Rafay]

The Goat is here!

 

[Ellipsism]

Way to put pressure on the batsman.

Worst test bowler to represent Pakistan in a while this fella.

 

[hussain.r97]

Imran Khan back into the attack.

 

[angrypathan]

New batsman in, and Azhar brings on Imran. I give up

 

[Mainul]

Relax , why are you having a meltdown.

It is really disheartening and frustrating for a person who have seen late 80's ,90's of Pak cricket. WI cricket has met the doom long ago, Pak cricket is already brain dead. World cricket has lost its colors.

 

[Pete Rose]

Courage is not a substitute for Skill, temperament. When you are out there, you against 11 players.

Awesome fortune cookie stuff. Where have I said it’s courage only and nothing else

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Is there a scientific term for this. Indians getting excited on Pakistan humiliation. Pakistani getting excited on India's humiliation?

Schadenfreude?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Imran Khan Trundling >130KPH to Warner.

 

[Abdullah719]

Imran Khan back into the attack.

Short and wide at 129kph

 

[jnaveen1980]

Awesome fortune cookie stuff. Where have I said it’s courage only and nothing else

lol This is a flat wicket. Not the old WACA pitch or old Kingsmead pitch. Just disciplined batting is all needed. You are not going to be bullied. You just need to be judicious against channel bowling.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Short and wide at 129kph

I'm sure it's 159KPH. Speedgun error that was

 

[Ellipsism]

Short and wide at 128.8 from wide of the crease. He’d struggle to make a Sydney grade side.

 

[omairsiddiqui]

Can someone make sense of Imran coming into the attack instead of Naseem? What does Azhar expect out of Imran with a 60-over old ball? Reverse swing?

 

[Kashmirilion]

Here comes Imran watch the Australians get blown away they have had their fun.

 

[Abdullah719]

I'm sure it's 159KPH. Speedgun error that was

Misbah sees it as 229kph.

 

[Pete Rose]

This is the fitness that Misbah was playing up. 125 km/h

 

[ARK Rafay]

At least Abbas is consistent.

 

[hussain.r97]

After getting a wicket, Azhar brings on Pakistan's worst bowler and sets a very defensive 7-2 field

 

[Abdullah719]

Can someone make sense of Imran coming into the attack instead of Naseem? What does Azhar expect out of Imran with a 60-over old ball? Reverse swing?

He probably doesn't want to over-bowl Naseem, Imran has bowled the fewest of the 3 pacers and is due a spell now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Schadenfreude?

Deriving pleasure in others pain. But that is not quiet it. But for the practice match i would not have watched. I was expecting something exciting with all the hype and also fragile Australian batting.

 

[Mainul]

People were praising Shaheen and Naseem so much but what they have produced here?

 

[jnaveen1980]

GOAT is already shadow practicing lol

 

[angrypathan]

No fine leg and bowling at the hips

 

[Nov15]

Is there a scientific term for this. Indians getting excited on Pakistan humiliation. Pakistani getting excited on India's humiliation?

schadenfreude
/ˈʃɑːd(ə)nˌfrɔɪdə,German ˈʃɑːdənˌfrɔydə/
noun
pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.

 

[Jeetlodil]

Deriving pleasure in others pain. But that is not quiet it. But for the practice match i would not have watched. I was expecting something exciting with all the hype and also fragile Australian batting.

this is more like making fun of senselessness and stupidity.

 

[Pete Rose]

Azhar should be giving a rocket to imran after every delivery

 

[angrypathan]

People were praising Shaheen and Naseem so much but what they have produced here?

They've bowled pretty well. Pitch is a pancake and Australia have batted well. They also haven't been supported by Imran at all, keeps releasing any pressure

 

[jnaveen1980]

People were praising Shaheen and Naseem so much but what they have produced here?

Vaughan, Warne Aussie formers everyone jumped on the bandwagon. It generated a lot of interest. I have seen some ordinary bowlers taking wickets and win the test for their country in Australia. Irfan at Perth, Agarkar at Adelaid, Headley at Adelaide(?).

 

[iRfaN_LA]

After getting a wicket, Azhar brings on Pakistan's worst bowler and sets a very defensive 7-2 field

exactly. He is Misbah#2. We are going nowhere with this captain.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Deriving pleasure in others pain. But that is not quiet it. But for the practice match i would not have watched. I was expecting something exciting with all the hype and also fragile Australian batting.

The hype was based on that pink ball warmup. Nevertheless this is quite a poor performance by even PAKs regular standards in Australia. Misbah is singlehandedly responsible for this.

 

[angrypathan]

Come on Yasir
