Why did they review that one and not the one the over before?

Maxwell shut up. Mitch be more aggressive

Looks decent enough as a fifth bowling option IMO. But he gotta make runs.

Yeah. He's a handy 5th bowler in Australia.

I'd back him to score runs. Hopefully he can do well enough here to have a shot against the Indians. Will do wonders for his confidence and development.

Can I just say this pitch is an epic road

Wait till its your turn. Lyon is bowling decently and getting a little bit of it too.

Besides this is how it always plays for the first two days. Plenty of reverse and nothing else, then starts to take turn for day three onwards.

weren't people saying that last time around as well ??? I would advise all PPers to refrain from making judgement on this pitch when both sides have not batted yet.

Last one was a road too, just because we can't play spin doesn't mean it's not. Reminds me of Adelaide without bounce and spectators.
 
Clarke is losing it. Batting wise and now with his leadership and judgement too.

Time to make Warner the Australian captain.

I refuse to believe that there exist batsmen that can't play spin being delivered by noobs on a road.
 
Pakistani batsmen took alot of 3's today, shows how good are they running.
 
Marsh is very overhyped. He doesn't have the pace to trouble batsman. Younis Khan is looking in supreme touch.
 
YK is looking brilliant. That SR. :O

While Azhar at a majestic 23 of 80. SR of 28.:)))
 
Younis looking like a million dollars today! Brilliant display of batting by the legend.
 
Pitch looks dead. Pak should needs to put up a huge score to put the Aussies under pressure. YK playing fluently, Azhar slow as a snail.

You saw one of our greatest batsman ever last game? God forbid the opposition outplaying you guys, eh?

Put it this way. Steve O'Keefe and his two deliveries - the one that doesn't turn and the one that doesn't turn in the other direction - dominates shield batsmen. Expect ironically for Phil Hughes who is troubled by deliveries that turn
 
Azhar really needs to step it up. He did it against Lanka so its a matter of choice and not ability. We're on top and tuk tukking right now makes zero sense. Atleast play at a SR of 50.
 
Azhar Ali doesn't change his game according to the pitch or the situation, Younis on the other hand saw through the pitch right away at the beginning looking good to score another 100.
 
rocketing along now!! hope the bacha party are happy now!! Azhar doing a sterling job and keeping things stable at his end.
 
This is superb batting by Younis and I have a hunch that he's looking at the selectors while displaying that he can bat quickly.
 
From where does australia find so many quality fast bowlers..I bet dozen of them are injured at the moment.

Younus Khan looking in supreme touch. On the other hand Azhar may score his century around tea on day 2
 
Azhar is playing an awful knock up till now and thing is he doesn't increase his rate.

He can't. If he tries he will be back in the hut in no time. H eis no YK,Asad or Shehzad.

Thats why I am against him batting at three. Sucks all the momentum out of the innings,too one dimensional.He is just not good enough to batting at three.
