Immy on fire. 4 for him. Aussies 7 down for 50. Good catch from Asad at 2nd slip, diving across to his left.

Hm, just a few days ago you were his biggest hater, without even having seen him bowl.

Quite a U turn. But not a bad one.

I have seen him bowl and he was very unimpressive in 2016 againt Australia. He also hasn't done anything in QeA trophy. I don't criticise without reason. If he does well then good on him. I don't have an agenda against anyone.
 
Superb Spell that by Imran, Pakistan can only afford one of The Abbas of Imran Jr. as both are similar
type of bowlers. Yasir will be needed in Brisbane
 
Wow pleasantly surprised.Although a practice game but still ....Seeing Aussies like this.Wow.Bravo Pak
 
Lol we might see Bancroft open the batting for the Aussies again. The only one with runs.

Whats suprising is these are not club level Australian cricketers.These are regular international test level players who regularly play test cricket for Australia.

Guys can anybody post a speed comparison between imran khan and abbas?
Click to expand...

From what I have seen (Imran Khan in 2016), Imran and Abbas operate around the same speed but Imran has a slightly higher max speed, but he rarely bowls max speed.
 
From what I was seeing in the live stream imran actually surprised some of the Aussie batsman with a good bouncer and the will pulvosciki wicket was a good example of that.I have never seen abbas rushing the batsman as what imran khan has produced today.
 
Our Chief Selector has a tough decision between Imran Khan and Abbas, however knowing Misbah's phobia for youngsters he will select both and drop Shaheen to mark what is a one dimensional pace attack of trundlers who will be useless with the new ball.
 
mark my word both abbas and imran will play now..he wont drop shaheen but naseem...misbah at his best
 
Very strong performance by Pakistan against a full strength Australia A side.

However I don't expect this to be a reliable indicator of how we will fare against an Aussie side with their nucleus set of players in Warner, Smith, Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Lyon.
 
Pakistan won a practice match against South Africa last year but still got thrashed by 3-0.
I hope they will play same in test series as they are playing today.

Also not to forget this batting line-up seems to be Babar or bust. Shafiq always look special in practice, whether it be in nets or warm-up matches but out in the middle of a meaningful contest, he goes missing. His capacity is limited to a single impactless ton in each test series, which is deemed to be suffice by Pakistan cricket to retain him in the side.

That warmup wasn't against South Africa A (or if it was it was a very weak side) and the pitch they played on was very low and slow (it was played in Benoni).

Couldn't agree more. I have a feeling this match will turn out to be a curse in disguise.

Also as Imran Khan debuted in tests under Misbah, and given the latter's preference for seniors and lack of cricketing intelligence, he is bound to select him and Abbas at the expense of Shaheen.
 
Don’t set yourselves up for disappointment. An impressive performance but the inevitable will still happen in the Test series.

This is almost the same batting lineup india were fed last summer I know most of them are a bit relaxed since its not a test match but this just shows how shocking are their batting stocks if you remove Smith,Warner and now Labu.

Yeah I doubt they're relaxed. This match was supposed to be a shootout for the remaining spots in the main team. They are essentially Smith-dependant.

I would say we are more Babar dependent than Australia are at home with Smith. Having said that I reckon Australia would still beat us without Warner and Smith in my opinion.

Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins will be too much for our batsmen to handle. Also we don't bowl great there. Other than Wasim Akram and Imran Khan (not the younger one), none of our pacers have averaged under 30 in Australia.

Going to be a low scoring series only batsman wort there salt are Smith Labuschagne Baba, rest are walking wckts.
 
i dont rate paine or Wayde...Smith and Warner is the key...if only starc gets injured as i am sure we wont be able to play him...
 
Should put in a leg slip for Bancroft. He falls over while batting and has been caught at leg slip often in Shield cricket.
 
bancroft is guaranteed for first test now and aussies have confused us like anything now...

Shafiq is better than labuschagne and warner will be dsngerous in his home conditions.
Also expect 1/2 players from each side to have cameos .
 
Guys Abid Ali keeping Pakistan is willing to try a make shift keeper it seems
 
bancroft is guaranteed for first test now and aussies have confused us like anything now...
 
i know test iis a specialist thing but i wouldnt mind Abid Ali keep at all...he is better technical batsman than rizwan and also is a good keeper
 
This last wicket partnership is getting irritating could do with some batting under lights...
 
No wickets have fallen under lights in this game so that throws Juniads theory out of the window
 
If Pakistan get a wicket they should bat and bat till drinks in session 2 of day 3 and then give an opportunity to their bowlers again to get used to conditions.

The ball is old. The New ball under lights hoops around, jumps and seams a lot. Watch highlights of previous daynighters in Adelaide.

Need to bowl yorkers to Meredith

Which is why we need Naseem Shah. Imran isn't quick enough. Shaheen isn't at full fitness and doesn't have the right angle.

So sad what happenned, must have woken up excited to bowl and where the Pakistan test uniform and then gotten the news.
 
This situation requires something out of the box. Maybe some short stuff with an aggressive field setting, followed by a yorker or a wide full delivery to invite the drive.
 
Common Shaheen bowl at full throttle if you can't get heredith wicket than probably you are not good enough.

I meant on the batting front. Warner aswell might I add. He is a beast in Australia.

Our batting won't hold up against Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins and Lyon.
 
Yasir Shah has been really disappointing..you expect a legspinner with his experience to atleast get the tail out
 
It is in situation like this you need a bowler like Naseem Shah with some deadly yorkers.

Mean while in pakistan...Apna Faddy keeps churning out runs despite saffys failures.

Bat 50 overs and then bowl 40 overs hopefully naseem gets to bowl 10-12 overs tommorow
 
Shan Masood wouldn't even get selected for BD. Or AFG.

How come is he playing for PAK?

Terrible.

Anyone can have moments of random brilliance. His past record, ability, skills, do not indicate he's anywhere close to Test standard of any top 6 Test team.
