Pakistan mount fightback to end Day 2 at 132/2 after bowling out Australia for 487

[kingusama92]

Gets his speed up to 138 KPH and bowls him.

 

[SamNJ]

Excellent from Amer Jamal.
Pace makes the difference.

 

[Savak]

Pathetic from Shaan to delay bringing Jamal into the attack for so long.

 

[Sycamore]

Like I said Jamal yesterday has been bowling very well for a debutant.

It has been the experienced Faheem and shaheen letting down the team.

 

[Kianig89]

Bowling speed machine in Pakistan are inflated, its a fact

 

[Savak]

Why didn't Pakistan persist with the short ball tactics and field placings that they showed against Warner prior to his dismissal?

 

[Dr_Bassim]

It's the pace.

138 Jamal is better than 125 dross of others.

I worry about Pak when they bat.

At 140s, this pitch might be unplayable.

 

[jnaveen1980]

New ball is still offering something when you hit the line and length.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

Faheem ashraf bowled ahead of this guy?

 

[Ali T]

Finally a wicket.
Not sure why Faheem came on to bowl before Aamer Jamal.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Australia will step on the gas. Apart from Cummins others won't play defensive game. But No point in playing defensive game.

 

[stani_pak]

Great delivary by Jamal 3 wickets so far in this match, hope he can finish with 5 or more.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Quickest ball of the day 138 kph !!

 

[Kianig89]

All is not doomed if Pakistan can bat for 150+ overs in their 1st inn.

 

[Kianig89]

SSA looks disinterested for Test cricket

 

[Savak]

Ravi Shastri when asked what is his formula for success in Australia given that he coached India for two successive series wins in Australia. He mentioned discipline, consistency, fitness and intelligent use of the short ball

 

[ExpressPacer]

It's the pace.

138 Jamal is better than 125 dross of others.

I worry about Pak when they bat.

At 140s, this pitch might be unplayable.

The good thing is, while great, the Australian bowlers are ageing workhorses and will not be in the 140s.

 

[Suleiman]

In Sha Allah 5-Fer for my brother Aamer Jamal. @ExpressPacer enjoy the show. He’s just getting started.

 

[Suleiman]

Just wait till he bats. We have made dua for a world class pace allrounder and iA we have one now.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Starc gets out now Marsh will amp it up.

 

[Savak]

Faheem ashraf bowled ahead of this guy?

Faheem Ashraf did not even participate in the training camp for the tour, he was busy in his wedding, he is carrying a belly and his pathetic fitness is showing with his 123-126 km/hr dollies.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This Jamal guy has a decent seam position which helps him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Perth pitch develops crack seam position will become all the more important. Once it lands on the seam even bowler won't know which way the ball will go.

 

[iRfaN_LA]

this is not a dead pitch by any means. Marsh is hitting because we are serving him pies by bowling short at 130kph.

Pitch has plenty of juice. Australian bowlers will love it

 

[iRfaN_LA]

need to drop Khurram and Faheem

 

[Ali Active]

can pak survive here and score 350 odd?

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan need to get rid of last 4 wickets fast

 

[Ali Active]

prediction aus will score 473

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 423/6 (100.1 overs).

How much more can Aussies get? I think they may reach 500-525.

 

[sweep_shot]

It is shocking to see Pakistan not having a specialist spinner here. If not for wicket taking you need a spinner for doing the holding job.

I agree.

A spinner is needed for maintaining a good over rate too.

If they are behind overs, they can lose WTC points.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan have Faheem Ashraf at number 8 , they need to bat long to try and draw the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

can pak survive here and score 350 odd?

They have to , no other option for them.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pakistan should try some part timers here for few overs , Like Saud , and babar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Commentators are talking about random things as they find this match predictable.

 

[Croma]

Aamer Jamal on target to get a fifer...

 

[Justcrazy]

sixxxxxx

Good shot

 

[Croma]

Marsh is in a hurry

 

[sweep_shot]

AUS - 435/6 (102.2 overs).

Marsh is on 75*.

 

[Croma]

Aamer Jamal is on target to get a fifer on debut in Perth.. Wow.. Fairy tale start to career

 

[jnaveen1980]

He smashed Wood's 150k for sixes in England like this. What can Amir's short ball at 135k will do against Marsh on his home ground.

 

[sweep_shot]

Four from Starc.

 

[Croma]

Two back to back fours now from STarc

 

[jnaveen1980]

Serious leather hunt. They might touch run rate of 5 if they play another 20 overs like this.

 

[sweep_shot]

Should Aussies declare at 500 or keep on batting?

AUS - 445/6 (103 overs).

 

[BouncerGuy]

Even starc is scoring runs here. If our batters fails here then what else is left for them to say

 

[Croma]

Bat till tea ideally.

To be fair, Pakistani batters have to face an experienced attack (Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, and Lyon).

Starc is facing a debutant.

 

[sweep_shot]

Last 10 overs: 57/1.

Good acceleration.

 

[BouncerGuy]

To be fair, Pakistani batters have to face an experienced attack (Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, and Lyon).

Starc is facing a debutant.

he is still a tailender though. Out bowlers are that much toothless that they cannot got starc out and getting smashed by him?

 

[sweep_shot]

he is still a tailender though. Out bowlers are that much toothless that they cannot got starc out and getting smashed by him?

I think Starc is somewhere in the middle of a tail-ender and an all-rounder.

He has 10 Test fifties. Highest of 99. Average of around 21.

 

[kingusama92]

Great stuff from Jamal.

He's shown a lot of heart.

 

[Croma]

Jamaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal 4 fer

 

[jnaveen1980]

139.9 kph. Pace works.

 

[Marooned]

Looking at how threatening Jamal is looking, Aussie trio will murder our batsmen here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Pakistan is likely to bat today.

 

[Suleiman]

One more wicket. Fiery spell.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

i have no idea how Faheem Ashraf keeps getting selected. What has he done over the last serveral years? he can't bowl and can't bat and he is playing as an all rounder. He is a nothing bowler.

He takes 1-3 wickets every test match and scored 20 runs may be a 50 every 10 innings + fills the quota for the all rounder , such an easy task

 

[sweep_shot]

Jamal got his 4th wicket.

AUS - 450/7.

 

[Marooned]

Jamal is better than Faheem. That's all we needed to see.

 

[daytrader]

Good bowling by Jamal, on for a 5 for

 

[Croma]

Cummins is a tough better to get out if he decides to stay at the crease

 

[Croma]

Salman 0-86. Not the bowler I would choose to bowl at the tail, but I think the management sees something in him.

 

[MANU ROY]

450 comes up for Australia

 

[Marooned]

Then again, the Aussie trio have 800 test wickets between them while our quartet has 100.

Don't know why would any sane person expect an equal contest between them.

 

[Marooned]

Run out chance

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen missed an easy run out lol 1.5 stumps to aim at.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fielders cannot hit the stumps when needed..

 

[BouncerGuy]

Jamal should have got a wicket on the LBW call. Looked out but he got his revenge the very next ball. Superb bowling.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Jamal is being used as workhorse. . He might pick up an injury

 

[Sycamore]

Jamal deserves a 5 fer. Has really shown how to bowl on these pitches, whilst being on debut also.

 

[Croma]

Marsh is 15 away from a 100, Jamaal 1 wkt away from 5-fer.

Who will get there first?

 

[Marooned]

We have missed Naseem greatly here. Currently Our most accurate bowler, with a great seam as well as consistent pace.

Ofcourse he wouldn't make us win or anything like that but he would hands down have been the best bowler on display here. Has been our best test bowler for the last year and half.

 

[jnaveen1980]

3 fielders wasted their energy. why?

 

[kron]

Jamal deserves a 5 fer. Has really shown how to bowl on these pitches, whilst being on debut also.

But a bit expensive 5 economy is a bit high. Great bowling though otherwise.

 

[kingusama92]

129 KPH from Shaheen.

That's just embarrassing after seeing Jamal.

 

[kron]

Naseem yes. Atleast we could have had them for 450 ish.

 

[Croma]

129 KPH from Shaheen.

That's just embarrassing after seeing Jamal.

He is just trying to 'not-get-injured.

Team management needs to find a window and rest him.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Looking at all seamers Shaheen seems to be losing more pace than other bowlers after pitching.

 

[BouncerGuy]

SHaheen's over looked like a regular net practice session. not real intent and fire here.

 

[Croma]

4-103

First centurion of the game
