Australians will always be the biggest cheats in the game but this wasn’t intentional. They don’t need to resort to such tactics to take 10 Pakistani wickets in the second innings.
What transpired in Karachi was a fluke -a one off event which is not going to happen again.

These images don't tell much.
I doubt Warner would want to do this after the sandpaper incident.

Apparently he asked for a rule book on the pitch.
He is doing very well to keep the bandit/goon persona caged within

Australians are known cheaters. Even Cummins catch was suspicious yesterday. Nothing new!

He threw it up straight away before landing on the ground where he could have dropped it upon collision with the ground

As per rule, body has to be in rest and in comfortable position which clearly was not in his case. He had full control over ball in hand that allowed him to throw the ball in the air. But since his body was not in comfortable position so it was technically a dropped catch.
No such rule.

Not only are Australians huge cheats in general, Warner is renowned as a cheat alomg with Smith. Ofcourse it was deliberate. Hope we chase this down tomorrow.

If we take out the first innings collapse at 220, Pakistan are actually on top!

Fluke that lasted 170+ overs, amazing, along with that old Champions Trophy Phainta and the killing in T20 WC by 10 wickets...all fluke folks, all fluke!

I guess all the 'welcome visitors' vibes have dissipated and Aussies suddenly seem like cheats?

Warner was walking on his heels on the pitch.
Also Labu diving on it. The dive and the way Labu posteriorly rolled reminded of me a kid I saw throwing tantrums in front of a Toys"R"Us
But as they "hota hai chalta hai duniya hai"
All good in the hood!

The third Test came to a stop on day four in Lahore after David Warner engaged in a heated discussion with umpires over running on the wicket.
Midway through the first session, Warner received a warning from the umpires about encroaching the protected area.
The opener was baffled by the warning, and play stopped for an extended period while he pleaded his case.
Warner stressed that he was entitled to bat out of his crease and play his shots before running to the side.
The umpires weren’t having it, however, deeming that he was in the danger zone.
“You want me to play my shot like this...” Warner was heard saying on stump mic as he gestured towards the side of the wicket.
Umpire Ahsan Raza replied: “Yes, you have to move.”
“Show me in the rule book where that’s what I’ve got to do. I won’t start until you show me,” Warner was then heard saying.
Pakistan’s players verged on the scene and Warner had another extended chat with Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who was pointing towards the pitch before play eventually resumed.
Simon Katich defended Warner in commentary, pointing to the fact that batters come down the wicket to face spin bowling with no issues.
“If you’re facing spin, you’re allowed to run down the wicket to use your feet against the spin and you have to be on the wicket,” he said. “You can’t come down off it, it’s not physically possible.
“So I think he was making a valid point. You’re going to get in that zone.
“That’s what happens in Test cricket. You’re going to get wear and tear on the wicket and unfortunately, when you’re batting last, you’ve just got to cop it.”
Waqar Younis suggested that the situation is not the same, however, when facing fast bowling.
“That’s fine but if you’re sort of consistently staying out of your crease and planting the leg in that region ... that’s where the umpires are concerned,” he said.

You can be a FTB but still play the game in a gnetlemanly way. Warner is perhaps the former.

Tbh this looks like sour grapes.
I mean if something is clear of course call it out but if someone is out of line then the umpires are there to make sure the players don’t over step and they are doing just that.
Let’s not make a mountain out of this, Pak just didn’t play good enough cricket in this test and even last one we played only decent last 2 days or so.
