These things happen when you're 450 runs behind.

I predicted it
 
Don't base your opinion on 1 innings

Clarke along with AB is easily best player of spin in the world ATM
AB is in a different league, barring one innings Clarke did squat in India too.

Jadeja was schooling him there.
 
We pretty much need a 200 partnership here to have any chance and that won't happen

Sometimes stats can be misleading, if you look at how easily and gracefully Clarke manages spin with nimble footwork you would know he's a class act against spin
 
Warner has become more reliable than Clarke (lately)?

Clarke's been out injured for a while and hasn't had a single hitout to get back in form.

Warner's in the form of his life.

You'd back Warner to do better at the moment but I'd still have Clarke as the better batsman
 
Smith making his intentions clear here ... He is looking for runs unlike our batters who dig a hole for themselves every time they walk in.

If we can get 2 more wickets in this session including the big one of warner the game is very much on!
 
Australia won't last the day, these two are Australia's last two specialist batsmen.
 
Both are important. Wasn't Clarke injured? He'll bounce back soon.
Still think his ability to play is really over rated, yes he's good, but he's not the best. The best wouldn't be schooled by the likes of Jadeja and Babar like Clarke has.

For an Australian, he is very good against spin.
 
And how many times have you seen Saddaf bowl? :13:

saw some of his videos didn't find anything special about him. Tanvir like pace with little swing people will start cursing him like they do with every other cricketer after 1 or 2 matches. :asad

Not every 130Kph trundler is asif...if he was any good then i'm sure he would have been at least in contention now.

These bowlers imran khan, Asad ali and co are all domestic bullies with impressive stats.
 
Smith is a good player of spin but with his aggresion he will give chances, i just hope warner throws it away here.
 
At the moment it's Pakistan vs Warner/Smith.

If we can get these two quickly, Aus will struggle big time.
 
Seeing our bowling I wonder why don't have any world class batsman!!! Babar and Yasir are not any better than Lyan and O'Keefe.
 
Rahat is really an improved bowler from what I saw him last..

Just tuned in, 3 out. Good going Pakistan. A lead of 100 will be the key to win this match.
 
Need to get leggie back on, hes been under bowled so far
 
Messi greeted with a boundary by smith

There trying to unsettle the debutante, Misbah would be a fool to not bowl him for an extended spell

His back injury has really hindered his batting.

Let's see how the 'hack' Smith does. :baelish
 
Michael Clarke is the best Test batsman in the world and the second best batsman vs spin after Sangakkara.
 
Heck ... Even smith turned it miles in the first innings and Messi is finding it difficult to turn. His action has a lot to do with it..
