Pakistan bowled out for 240 on Day 1 of 1st Test against Australia

[angrypathan]

Azhar gone as well, far out

 

[ARK Rafay]

Self destruction!!!! :Aag

 

[Afhan Ali]

Hope they will make 300

 

[trickyone]

Shan Masood is hard working guy but he just doesn't have the talent...

 

[Green Patriot]

Both set batsmen gone.

 

[angrypathan]

Check their pockets

 

[Big Mac]

oh well it was good while it lasted

gg

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Collapse on guys. Watch them skittle for 150

 

[Ahmed216]

This pitch will get quicker as the day progresses

As i predicted its flying now

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

I switch the tv on and the first ball I see is Masood’s wicket.

ah nazar

 

[Titan24]

Good bowling post lunch from Aus

 

[Hawkeye]

Shan Masood is hard working guy but he just doesn't have the talent...

In other words, he's not on merit.

Anything but merit.

 

[coy0607]

Here comes the collapse. This is what happens when you get so bogged down. At some point you have to start playing freely

You would think 33 overs would be enough to get yourself in

 

[Big Mac]

Check their pockets

Run Rate increased to 2.25 and we lost two wickets. This is what happens when you try and play T20 cricket

 

[Captain caveman]

Oh shoot!
Both openers gone in two overs!
Asad and babar its your guys turn now to build a big partnership!

 

[kingusama92]

 

[Hawkeye]

It’s called ball tampering the ball was doing nothing before lunch and look now Australians get desperate as soon as they start thinking we’re in a bother here

Probably. But, can't say for sure unless we have evidence.

Azhar's dismissal was because of his own lack of concentration. Hard hands.

 

[Snowflake]

All that hard work and we're now in a tight spot

 

[Titan24]

Oh shoot!
Both openers gone in two overs!
Asad and babar its your guys turn now to build a big partnership!

Its Haris and Asad.

 

[Rayyman]

Azhar changed his guard to fourth stump and just lost his balance there.

 

[Snowflake]

While Azhar got a peach, Shaan got out on a harmless delivery. Got squared up for no reason

 

[ARK Rafay]

If they don't collapse I see them scoring around 230 for something at the end of Day 1.

 

[andy0204]

I switch the tv on and the first ball I see is Masood’s wicket.

How much negativity do you have?

 

[Mamoon]

It’s called ball tampering the ball was doing nothing before lunch and look now Australians get desperate as soon as they start thinking we’re in a bother here

It’s called being a crap team and that is what we are. We punched above our weight and normal business has resumed. This series was always going to be another whitewash.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Run Rate increased to 2.25 and we lost two wickets. This is what happens when you try and play T20 cricket

This is a good point

 

[Aman]

Well that strategy backfired, they could of been in the same position at Lunch with more intent/positivity.

Up to the middle batsmen to build a base.

 

[Mamoon]

How much negativity do you have?

There is no such thing as negativity or positivity. Things are what they are.

 

[Ahmed216]

This was expected as they allowed the bowlers to bowl in their areas for too long.

 

[Rayyman]

While Azhar got a peach, Shaan got out on a harmless delivery. Got squared up for no reason

That was a good delivery but it was could have been left had Azhar been batting on middle on leg.

 

[Titan24]

Atleast it shows there is something in the wicket if you ball in the right areas. Aus was poor in the first session and openers did decently.

 

[ExpressPacer]

Harris needs to get some runs otherwise he's going to block himself into a hole.

 

[Mamoon]

I think Shafiq has done the bulk of his scoring in the warmups. Expect a trademark lean series.

 

[Snowflake]

I'm not sure if it's wise to drop Babar all the way down to number 4. I think he should swap positions with Asad

 

[angrypathan]

I'm not sure if it's wise to drop Babar all the way down to number 4. I think he should swap positions with Asad

Shafiq came in at 4. Babar due in at 5

 

[Rayyman]

Openers did well, but I’m still not sure about Shan and Azhar.

Shan looks good, but he just can’t get big scores.

Azhar is washed imo.

 

[Big Mac]

How much negativity do you have?

You know what you have to do

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Need atleast 350

 

[Mamoon]

Babar should not be batting below four. Number 5 is not the spot for your main batsman. Needs to swap places with Shafiq.

 

[angrypathan]

Shafiq off the mark

 

[angrypathan]

Haris needs to get his act together

 

[CricketDon]

Two mental midgets gone thus far

 

[Rayyman]

No freebies god damn

 

[angrypathan]

Should've put that half volley away

 

[Mamoon]

Playing attritional cricket is great if you are good enough to execute it but we are not. Now we look like clowns who didn’t have a plan to begin with.

 

[ARK Rafay]

It's Pakistani batting wickets will fall but they need to pick a little pace.

 

[Rayyman]

Where is the Aussie fifth bowler?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Where is the Aussie fifth bowler?

Smithy? But right now I'm only seeing two. Hazlewood and Cummins and I'm sure Pakistani batsman are seeing the same bowlers as well

 

[Buffet]

Pakistan needs to rotate. Even after 20 overs from here with only 30 more runs and then suddenly 2 more wickets ....

Shouldn't allow bowlers to bowl 6 balls at you.

 

[angrypathan]

Same issue we had in South Africa. Olivier and Rabada would just keep bowling to the same batsmen

 

[Mamoon]

Babar needs to stop being a lower-middle order merchant if he truly wants to be recognized as one of the world’s best in Test cricket.

 

[Shafi]

These tuk tuks are killing the game for us. Played almost 40 overs and scored 77 loss of 3

 

[ARK Rafay]

Haris looked like he just woke up. Thinking what's he doing in Australia

 

[angrypathan]

Haris Sohail needs to be sent home mid tour. He's made a mockery of batting. 7 consecutive failures is unforgivable

 

[a_jawad]

Haris Sohail looks like he's becoming the next Azhar Ali / Asad Shafiq

 

[Buffet]

Same issue we had in South Africa. Olivier and Rabada would just keep bowling to the same batsmen

It makes it too easy for bowlers. Not sure why can't you take single even if plan is to play atritional cricket. It's not as if team is trying to save a test on 5th day.

 

[hussain.r97]

Haris has looked completely out of sorts, shouldn't have been playing today.

 

[JaDed]

Every time ball starts to do something after lunch and Aus is bowling I'm unable to believe it lol.

And now Starc gets one, that was a bad shot though

 

[omairsiddiqui]

Pathetic shot. Really. Haris should get an earful from the coach.

 

[troodon]

Nothing shot from Haris.

 

[Mamoon]

Haris “I want to make up for post time” Sohail needs to be dropped from all formats.

This attitude is not acceptable at the top level. I think he is seeing ghosts again.

 

[Mamoon]

Imam will replace Haris for the next Test.

 

[omairsiddiqui]

Not only is his form all over the place, he looks horribly unfit and overweight.

 

[JaDed]

Babar needs to stop being a lower-middle order merchant if he truly wants to be recognized as one of the world’s best in Test cricket.

Aane to de bhai usse, jaan hi lega to uski

 

[Ahmed216]

Both haris and shan play well under the line of the ball and i had analysed their techniques and predicted their fate in this series during one of those warm up games

 

[Rayyman]

Wth Babar just middle his first ball

 

[ARK Rafay]

Pakistan dug their graves themselves with the bat. Batted slow in the 1st session and you would expect them to capitalize on that good start but they keeping falling like dominos

 

[troodon]

Babar batting too low. You cannot save your best batsman like he is a soft pony.

Babar should bar at 3 or 4

 

[angrypathan]

Babar showing more intent off his first ball than Shafiq and Haris did in their combined 30

 

[MMHS]

[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION] - somehow both PAK & AUS team misread your script. First, Kookaburra needs to be dealt with first 25 overs, then it’s like facing tundlers. Next is Starc - he was supposed to drift on left handers pad - here he has completely shut down both lefti on leg side and finally got one edging.

I am waiting for 3rd one - Rizwan to score bucketful.

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan - 78/3 after 39 overs.

Can Babar stop the collapse?

 

[ARK Rafay]

Haris “I want to make up for post time” Sohail needs to be dropped from all formats.

This attitude is not acceptable at the top level. I think he is seeing ghosts again.

That shot was so lazy, I don't even see the commitment in him.

 

[Nfc120]

Watch babar play a gem

 

[angrypathan]

Handsomely driven into the covers for nothing

 

[Snowflake]

What idiotic cricket by our team. As usual, it's all about survival for batsmen... And the irony is that they aren't even good at that

 

[ARK Rafay]

Babar and Asad the heroes of the 1st tour match. Let's see how they go on about their batting now

 

[Mamoon]

Unfortunately that joker Shadab is not playing, who would have scored a 70 and taken Pakistan from 150/5 to 400.

 

[Ahmed216]

Babar hahahahaaaa

 

[angrypathan]

Are you serious Babar

 

[a_jawad]

Babar why you do this

 

[ARK Rafay]

Has ball started to move more than it did in the first session?
