We will make it look like a spinners paradise when we bat lol

I think this is a really flat wicket. You guys aren't the best at spin, but I don't expect Clark to bog out and get out like he did last time. He will be more cautious and get at least a half century.
 
Azhar has to go on to score a hundred here. Won't get a better platform than this.
No pressure. Well set. Boss bastman on the other side. Struggling bowlers. Home conditions.
 
Ah okay. Last I saw him play was quite a while ago, was wondering whatever happened to him.

will be playing for Leicestershire in county next year.

Azhar playing a great innings now. Shutting his doubters up.
 
He is actually a bowler and started his career as a leg spinner but soon realised if he has to play for Australia for long he has to concentrate on his batting thereby ignoring his primary skill altogether ...

Nah. He was a batsman who bowled a bit who broke into the team based on scoring four first class centuries. For some reason he was played as a bowler and a lower order slogger and naturally failed.

Eventually got selected as a batsman and succeeded
 
Lyons avg will really get effected by this series. y get effected by this series. Aussies looking down here
 
Trust me, Aussie selectors won't drop Lyon after this Test series, every bowler goes through a lean patch in some Test series.

Palying across the length of ball, plumb LBW.

Ah, silly wicket. Should have got another half century at least.

He has improved against spin but still his weakness.

He should work with Inzi for his timing and shot selection with spin.
 
Ideally these two should look to score big daddy hundreds. they are well set and the aussies are horribly shot.
 
That shot from Azhar is a shot of the day for me ...

Think Younis needs to calm down and bat for a hundred. Pakistan can afford that. Shouldn't get out accelerating. :yk
 
Current partnership 136 runs, 34.1 overs, RR: 3.98 (Younis Khan 77, Azhar Ali 52)
 
50/0 in last 10 overs good forceful batting hopwfully we can get a big 1st inns total and then get wickets through scoreboard pressure again
 
This has been a great series for the kids. Azhar, Shehzad and Shafiq, you three will be the next ones, you need to be mid 40s and low 50s average players.
 
new ball due in 11 overs i think thats something Aussies probably need right now!
 
Younis hundred away from 8000! #legend :yk
P.S : How do you guys all those dancing smileys?
i don't get any!
 
Just woke up and saw the score, woah, these two need to keep going here.
 
James: "Misbah must be getting very confused in this series. It must be disorientating for him to have to keep coming in with the side in a good position."

as I said....lets see he how he plays once he comes in.

Pakistan might only need to bat once

Doubt it when we collapse we collapse.

Even at 240-2 i wouldn't bank on 450.

New ball will be key, If Australia don't get a wicket with that than even I would be quietly confident of 500.
 
Herbert Sutcliffe is the last player to score 3 consecutive 100s Vs Australia in 1925
 
Yes me too :( Everytime he gets the strike, I am afraid he will get hole out and missing on triple tons, Need to calm down especially against spinners!
 
Before his 100 against Srilanka, Azhar had only two or three fifty plus scores in last 20 odd innings
 
BTW, This is what you call Beast Mode.
I couldn't even do it in EA cricket!

Usman: "what is the most number of hundreds in consecutive Test innings and by whom???" Five, by Everton Weekes. He was run-out for 90 going for the sixth in a row.
