Pakistan finish Day 3 at 64/3 in their second innings, trail by 276 runs at the Gabba

Pakistan team is bunch of joker's. Aus will make 600 by end of day. Finish it on day 4, Pakistan 72 all out. It will be the biggest defeat in Pakistan history.
 
Was excited for yesterday and what a shame, we got ridiculed.

Going to be yet another long day...
 
If Imran khan gets "injured" somehow can we replace him?
Not wishing harm on him. It's just a question
 
Super Saturday here in Sydney ... gonna do a bbq and watch the match.. would be so much fun
 
Naseem left the field yesterday as something happened to him. Do we know if he is okay to bowl today?
 
Hopefully Warner gets out in the first over so we have something to be happy about
 
No sir this would have happened irrespective of the teams playing and result as summer has arrived here.backyard cricket with mates from subcontinent and off course a bit of banter.hope fully get to see good cricket

for me. who else lol. I like pakistan. I am punjabi. apart from india,I support pakistan. I do like SA too because my partner is from there.

I want to see a strong pakistan test side but misbah really disappointed me. I hope they atleast dominate at home and Asia though.
Anyway australia just seem like a bogey team for pakistan away. S.africa too.

They always deliver a nice phainta to England. Their record vs n.z apart from recent times is actually quite impressive too.
 
lol@Akram 1 spell 3 overs 11 runs 2 spelld 3 overs 11 runs 3rd spell 4 overs 7 runs hahaha As usual he reads what is on the screen. Gilly helped him out with by putting some analysis on it.
 
:four

what a straight drive by labuschange .... this shows he is in terrific nick , ominous for Pakistan.

Recently Pakistan record against most sides are poor , and it will be get even worse in next few years.
 
:four

Overpitched , and again hammered. Aussies runrate has been impressive , this shows how poor Pakistan batted.
 
I think both the boys and the girls are equally spoiled. Although boys are obviously given much more freedom.

Don't think Shaheen and Naseem are completely reliant on the captain when thinking what lines to bowl, wasim may be oversimplifying it.
 
Shaheen's 138 is just the release speed. After pitching it looks more like 115 kph. He is just floating it up.
 
Its pretty sad this....imran khan is a proper trundler..shaheen has been really disappointing ..i dont understand why shahern reduced his run up
 
I always watch matches in Australia just for the commentary. I know some are biased (Mark waugh). I like their casual chit chats.
 
Short ball , hammered.

Pakistan bowlers length has been poor. I do not think Waqar has done any homework here.
 
At this point Australians have to make some judgemental errors for Pakistan to get a wicket. Nobody looks like getting a wicket.
 
Look at their fitness levels. Asian teams have a long way to go to match them. Tremendous running between the wickets.

how does that work? Wouldn't every bowler's speed be lower after pitching? You mean he doesn't bowl a hard ball? is that what you are saying.
 
This is so depressing to watch.
Now I know why no one's watching it today

How much effort you put on the shoulder. You extract something out of it. I think he is releasing it earlier.

he does. he bowls like morkel a bit. He has serious potential if nurtured properly.

If shaheen played under kohli right now I guarantee you he would look as good as cummins and bumrah.

Apart from guys like Kohli, Jadeja our players are not as quick as them on the field. Be it is running between the wickets or covering ground.

oh you will be surprised. All one bowlers are fitter. umesh, shami ishant all can run and bowl for long spells. Longer than Aussies in terms of endurance capacity.

As for running on the field ? I still think only rohit, pant and vihari are a bit unfit. Rest are all quite fast.

Ashwin, Pujara, Rahane, Kuldeep they are not really athletic runners. Kohli, Jadeja, Umesh are the only ones who can run fast. Ishant, Shami are lethargic while fielding. Let us not confuse between their bowling fitness and fielding fitness. We are not quiet there yet.
 
except Pujara because of his knee issues and Rohit to a certain extent, all other are pretty fit and can definitely match the endurance and strength. Ishant Shami Bumrah were bowling 140 plus in Australia in thier last spells.
 
Naseem is the real deal ...shoaib akhtar is obv jealous ..blamin the selectors for selecting him etc...what other options do you have i completely agree should be playing first class for few years but he is 16 what do you expect
 
Still v decent speeds from naseem..even yasir is bowling well where was this yesterday
 
[MENTION=132916]Junaids[/MENTION], I am sure I have read somewhere in PP from you that without Smith & Warner, this AUS batting is like club level - so far out of 3 batsmen, apart from Warner, one has scored 166 balls 97, other one is not out on 85 @ 64 SR - what's the reason? Misbah's dumb tactics, or not playing Shadab, Faheem, Ehsan Adil, Sameen Gul or suddenly Aussies club players have learned batting or may be your assessment (of talent) was a bit over estimated?

Honestly speaking, I know my cricket and I was expecting something similar at Eden, so no surprise there; but Gabba is a genuine shock for me - I never thought PAK will compete ball by ball in AUS, but this is beyond unconditional surrender - I am not even feeling motivated to taunt this grand show.

I am asking a genuine question here, one reason is it's Friday night & I'll watch the ACC game till 5AM - need engagement to be awaken, but main reason is that I genuinely want to know how you could predict/forecast few things so confidently and convincingly (backed by numbers), when it comes to PCT and their talent - surely, surely, surely you know your cricket.
 
I've given it an hour,to see if we could get a wicket or 2, instead marnus is a few runs away from a century!
Thats enough for me, hardly slept the last two days, i'm going to bed, hope this nightmare is over when i wake!
