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

Runs leaking - same old story in Australia. We never ever seem to manage the run rate there. Always bleeding.

Need to hit the pitch a bit harder though its not the natural style of Shaheen

As he develops, I’d like to see him utilise his height and hit the pitch harder. Good point raised here.
 
This Test tour is practice for our young team. They'll learn and develop from it.

People need to be realistic and stop expecting them to win. We haven't won there in decades. We can't with such an inexperienced side.


We'll start winning Tests from our home again though - SL series. We've been losing even at home.

Thing is, his favorite Sarfraz would still have preferred oldies.

Naseem and a young team is playing only because of Misbah. Glad Sarf got kicked.

Yep, Sarfaraz and Mickey were cancerous snakes. It was sickening to see Mickey's interview where he was advocating for Malik, Hafeez, and Sarfaraz to return but we were told by Arthur's fans that all 3 of them were "political selections" and Mickey didn't want them in the team. Time exposes everything.

Not when you think Ahmed shahzad and Umar Akmal in settled t20 line up and bring uncle imran in the test team. It’s ok to be all in on the folks you support, but these are criminal howlers so far
 
Right i thought it was a one off but i swear shaheen used to be fast he is not even touching 140kph...
 
Will be a long day for our bowlers.

Warner gonna become his true FTB self.
 
This attack is just too young and the oldest bowled the worst so far. Other two will be better from this experience.
 
Why ain't they going around the wicket to Warner. That's his weakness. Broad had him in his pocket all Ashes from around the wicket and that would be in his head.
 
shaheen shah may be a 140 bowler at best but he looks slower than that. he just seems to float it up
 
They r not calling no balls - when the bowler gets a wicket they will call it then.

Pacers aren’t experienced enough to experiment and think off the feet. Their main aim will be to deliver a decent delievery at the other end.

They will learn these things with time.
 
Very disappointed to see that we're already out of the match and we've barely bowled 10 years
 
I suppose the other reason to play imran is that he can reverse swing the ball.
 
Ball is going gun barrel straight. Need to bring in some sandpaper. :asad1
 
Warner is already low key taking the game away, dude is a beast at home tracks. Really like watching him bat, near perfect mixture of strength and timing.
 
The only thing missing now is a wicket, then being called no-ball.

Embarrassing already. Loss by inns and 300+ upcoming.

Yes. But how is it any difference from the time when we had ATGs in the team?

This team is too young and inexperienced. They're there to learn. First accept that they'll lose. And it's fine.

He is exceptional at home averaging 60 at Gabba and pretty high averages in other grounds too.

It's not about pacers thinking. It's all the coaches too who work out opposition players weakness before game and how to get them out in the game plan. What are our coaches etc all doing. Just turn up to match and bowl. Any team would have gone around the wicket to Warner from ball 1 just like England did in the Ashes.
 
The pitch isn't flat. Our bowlers have been well below par. They haven't been skillful enough and haven't put the balls in the right places

OK Boomer.

Why don't you teach them how to bowl?

Ability to execute is a thing as well. Broad has played 132 tests and is closing in on 500 wickets. Expecting Naseem or Shaheen to start bowling according to the weakness of the batsman straight away in unrealistic.
 
Liking the attitude of Naseem. There wasnt a doubt about his talent but he has that fast bowler’s attitude as well
 
If Warner stays when Yasir comes into the attack, expect a thrashing of epic proportions.

550/4 incoming unfortunately.
