Pakistan hit back with 2 wickets after being bowled out for 282 on Day 1 of the 2nd Test

[castortroy]

Something hasn't been right with the current set up for a while now. They seem mentally fragile

Hopefully sarfraz and Arthur last series

 

[IMMY69]

Out

 

[JibranAnsari]

Looks out.

 

[castortroy]

We always make any half decent spinner look good

 

[aukhan]

Just looked at the scoreboard.

This is pathetic stuff from Sarfraz and co.

 

[Asif321]

Omg is this for real 3/0 never seen this in UAE
Pakistan may be out for 100

 

[castortroy]

Haha classic Pak.

Nathan Lyon doing the damage as predicted

 

[aukhan]

Big test for babar here.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babars chance to justify why he is still in the team despite averaging 28.

 

[fluke]

4th one gone mashaAllah

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

Asad performing well under pressure i see

 

[JibranAnsari]

And 5 down.

 

[Asif321]

Are you kidding me 0/4. What is this from Babar

 

[fluke]

wow 5th gone

 

[Fahdi]

Oh boy.

Very good bowling from Lyon I must say but the batsmen have been loose in their defense.

The hell was Babar doing?

 

[aukhan]

Omg is this for real 3/0 never seen this in UAE
Pakistan may be out for 100

Last time we batted this horribly in UAE was against England. 99 All out in the first innings i think.

 

[Baigel]

Rebuilding phase is here

 

[Shafi]

Our team is full of TTfs!!!!! Deserved to be whitewashed

 

[JibranAnsari]

Asad performing well under pressure i see

And babar too.

 

[castortroy]

This batting line was due a collapse regardless of the flat conditions

Mental midgets

 

[aukhan]

lo g babar

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

What the hell Just Lost Shafiq and Babar. getting Worse now

 

[Asif321]

Wow our so called talented batsmen even hongkong won’t bat like this

 

[JibranAnsari]

Babar should be dropped.

 

[Josh]

Looks out.

On a brighter note umpire Ravi doesn't hate Pakistani batsmen. He wasn't convinced.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Wth

I park my car inside the house and 2 more wickets down.

 

[theariezman]

Babar is gone as well.

 

[castortroy]

I did predict Lyon will run through our line up but this is embarrassing

 

[JibranAnsari]

Time to do a kamran today , sarfraz.

 

[ARK Rafay]

LMAO Pakistan getting out against Murli on a Day 5 pitch

 

[Rahul1]

But Babar is a future ATG?

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Pakistan were 57-1 now 57/5

Masha Allah bolo, nazar na lage.

 

[aukhan]

Sarfraz needs chittar if he fails today...time to play captains knock.

 

[fluke]

babar should no way near to the test team

 

[theariezman]

Senior or youngster sometimes they all look like a heck.

 

[Asif321]

This is humiliating

 

[Asif321]

Fawad must be laughing

 

[angrypathan]

Barring a good knock in the 2nd innings, that should put a halt on Babar Azam's test career.

 

[castortroy]

Losing to an Aussie side in UAE without smith and Warner is probably not as bad as losing to Sri Lanka but it's definitely another new low in Pak cricket

 

[Fahdi]

3 ducks in the space of 2 overs. And Fakhar's only there because Australia dropped a sitter.

Lyon's bowling beautifully. Sharp turn, bounce and right on the money.

 

[Josh]

Oh dear, it's some seriously terrible cricket now.

 

[Baigel]

Honestly feel for Mickey, no matter how hard he works...our braiess cricketers don't perform. Honestly doesn't deserve this

 

[Asif321]

Both of fakhar and saifi can get out any time

 

[Aman]

Wow, if Pakistan lose to this Aussie team..

 

[castortroy]

It so damn obvious we were going to make Nathan Lyon look like Murali

India would have dispatched this Aussie team in 3 days

 

[Aman]

Losing to an Aussie side in UAE without smith and Warner is probably not as bad as losing to Sri Lanka but it's definitely another new low in Pak cricket

It's 100% is worse, the Aussies are nowhere as good as SL in the SC. This Aussie team is missing Smith, Warner, Hazlewood and Cummins (one of the bowlers would have played).

 

[castortroy]

Mickey Arthur will hopefully call it a day after this

 

[JibranAnsari]

Gone too.

 

[ARK Rafay]

This is what you should expect when you don't play your domestic performers. E.g Salahuddin, Saad, Fawad, Saud

Lyon will pluck another wicket here for sure.

 

[Asif321]

Thank god

 

[JibranAnsari]

Oh thank god , buch gaya.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

Finally, a run.

 

[JattMaula]

Wow, if Pakistan lose to this Aussie team..

After winning 2 tosses in 2 tests.

 

[Ahmed216]

m sure babar azam is next umar akmal. He too is brainless

 

[castortroy]

Also Yasir Shah is it getting out bowled by every opposition spinner

 

[Zakaz]

WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING OUT THERE, I REPEAT WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING OUT THERE

 

[Bhaijaan]

From 57/1 to 57/5

This is outrageous stuff from Pakistan. Lyon showing how dangerous he could be when he gets it right.

 

[Zakaz]

ALL MOST A RUNOUT NOW!!!!!

 

[Asif321]

Babar doesn’t belong to test cricket . Fawad should have been in

 

[Aman]

After winning 2 tosses in 2 tests.

Only thing worse would be losing a series to Zimbabwe.

 

[Greenstorm]

Need a 200 run partnership here.

 

[shariqnoor]

I had said that the pressure of losing the series to Australia will be too much for Pakistan and that is how it has panned out. Absolutely mindless batting. This pitch may not be a 400+ pitch but it's certainly not a 100 all out pitch either. The NZ series should absolutely be the last series for Sarfraz as captain.

 

[Zakaz]

If srafraz fails to score a century here, he should be SACKED no questions asked

 

[Usman Chadda]

Middle-order? What middle-order?

Fawad Alam will get an SOS now I'm certain

 

[Fahdi]

Sarfraz's chance to be a hero here.

 

[Napa]

Also Yasir Shah is it getting out bowled by every opposition spinner

It is possible he will destroy the Australians in this match. I think he is Pakistan's best hope at this point.

 

[Shafi]

Mickey Arthur will hopefully call it a day after this

You want Mohsin Khan to be our next coach?

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Saifi is mentally duffused.

 

[Asif321]

This is shocking

 

[castortroy]

Nathan Lyon figures hahah

 

[gazza619]

I know hindsight is a beautiful thing, but the Abu Dhabi pitch always has a lot of juice on the 1st day and bowling first should have been the strategy.

 

[Sunny_majoka]

NZ? this should be the last series for sarfraz

 

[Dark_Horse]

May be we should gift a wicket to holland.

 

[castortroy]

Yasir will have to bowl 50 overs to pick up 2-3 wickets

He isn't bowling anyone out.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

Babar is farigh Test player. Should be sacked immediately

 

[ARK Rafay]

No matter what people. Imam is mentally a strong boy and he would've holded one end just like he did earlier. He has a very good opener and is improving.

Pakistan shouldn't make the same mistake of opening Hafeez in SAF. This should be the line-up in South Africa

Imam
Fakhar
Azhar
Fawad
Saad/Usman
Asad
Sarfraz
F Ashraf / M Amir
M Abbas
Mir Hamza / M Amir
Y Shah

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

This is as shameful as it gets

 

[Zakaz]

Fakhar zaman its your time now!!!

 

[Sunny_majoka]

don't worry guys. fakher will score 200 here

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This after winning the toss and batting first in Abu Dhabi?
