U am surprised how Australians are 8 down on this road really. No demons so far in this pitch.
 
Can't believe I wasted my Friday night and going to waste half my Saturday sleeping in because I stayed up to watch this tripe
 
I'm getting extremely frustrated and the exam hasn't helped either. :inti

I'm getting frustrated watching Marsh too. He's showing how easy it actually is to bat on this wicket once you get yourself in. It's making me even angrier at our top order. Plus it's 7:30am here and I haven't slept yet and that always makes me grumpy.
 
Didn't get a ton but didn't deserve one with that shot anyway

Get some sleep , you are going down anyway.
 
Stupid shot. Deserved a hundred but I'm not sorry to see him go, let's wrap this up quickly now
 
Going to be 300ish runs behind if I were Pakistan I would bat till lunch tomorrow then declare with a 500 run lead.
 
Kasam no lie as soon as rameez raja was praising marsh's timing i thought to myself i bet hes going to go next ball, commentators curse loll

Not really..he totally deserved it. Played a brilliant knock. I didn't expect him to last longer than 25 balls against spinners.
 
Why not enforcing follow on!

This is opportunity of a lifetime for misbah to win by an innings against australia.

You have to select it first so you go to the page with just the tweet. From there click on the 3 dots, then embed Tweet, copy and paste the code.

Get it?
 
No point following on in these conditions give our bowlers a few sessions rest.

Interesting so you can embed HTML? Didn't know that.
 
Saves Australia blushes - innings defeats are the worst kind of defeats.
 
Pakistan had a chance to enforce follow on after 26 years against australia and you blow it?
 
They didn't! What! :facepalm: This was a rare opportunity to get an innings win. Guess they're playing safe :mv

What if Aus had posted a 500 total and gave Pakistan 190 to chase?Pakistan aren't good at chasing. Misbah is playing safe. Also the bowlers are tired. They would be fresh for the second innings.
 
So far Maxwell's contribution is a T20esque 37 off 28 (I guess he was the 3rd highest score) and 0-78 off 16 at an econ of 4.87. Great move from the boffins in charge.
 
Nah they should have followed on.

When someone is down keep kicking them down.
 
Watch the wicket turn into a highway again
 
Should have enforced the follow on. 309 is a big lead, we could have won this game by an innings.
 
Good idea to bat again. Why take a chance Aus score 430-450, and we need to score 120-150 on a day 5 pitch? Play it safe, score a chunk of runs and play it safe.
 
Glad they didn't enforce follow on - bat till after lunch tomorrow and set 500+ target

EVEN BETTER THAN WINNING THIS TEST IS TO GRIND THE AUSSIES INTO THE DESERT DUST!!! Take that over a win in this match anytime!!!!

Opportunity to send the Aussies home with PTSD
 
I wonder if they will be sledging. Hard to sledge when you are 300+ behind
 
Should have enforced the follow on. 309 is a big lead, we could have won this game by an innings.

So far Nothing in the pitch suggests Asu will be bowled out under 450 here unless they play stupid shot like in the first innings.
 
Nah they should have followed on.

When someone is down keep kicking them down.

Yes bro by smashing the bats on their heads again!!! Make them drop in the heat from humiliation and exhaustion!!
