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

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.
 
While Azhar got a peach, Shaan got out on a harmless delivery. Got squared up for no reason
 
If they don't collapse I see them scoring around 230 for something at the end of Day 1.

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.
 
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.

This was expected as they allowed the bowlers to bowl in their areas for too long.
 
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.
 
Harris needs to get some runs otherwise he's going to block himself into a hole.
 
I think Shafiq has done the bulk of his scoring in the warmups. Expect a trademark lean series.
 
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

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

Same issue we had in South Africa. Olivier and Rabada would just keep bowling to the same batsmen
 
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.
 
These tuk tuks are killing the game for us. Played almost 40 overs and scored 77 loss of 3
 
Haris Sohail needs to be sent home mid tour. He's made a mockery of batting. 7 consecutive failures is unforgivable

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

Babar should bar at 3 or 4
 
[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.

That shot was so lazy, I don't even see the commitment in him.
 
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
 
Babar and Asad the heroes of the 1st tour match. Let's see how they go on about their batting now

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