Australia vs Pakistan | Test & T20I UAE Tour

[Bhumi]

Hafeez and Yasir duo is enough, Bilal Asif will be under presure. Bilal is not a huge turner. Sad to see the demise of off spin bowling in Pakistan.

You not need 3 pace bowler in the team of 11 in Asian sub continent, might be helpful in one venue in SL and Dharamsala otherwise
3 spinner - 2 pace and allrounder which would be well balance side.

If Australia digs in well with 600 than pakistan's 3rd innings will be last in the match otherwise Aus has to bats last on difficult wicket

 

[Bhumi]

I can only see more pain today for the Aussies on this Dubai road. We will be looking at scoreboard pressure to the tune of nothing less than 400. Praised be that Inzaman and Younis have retired. Then we would be facing a 600 deficit.

Only Shafiq 's 60 on card otherwise I do not think others capable vs aus.i wish Starc remains fit under 39 degree heat.he was Limping during last over of the day

Starc is a our strike man. Need him to whisk out a few this morning with his unauthodox bowling.

Need to use him for short burst spells. Was surprised that Mitch Marsh only bowled 1 over yesterday. I thought he could pitch in with few more to make the workload a bit less for the pacers.

Big day for the Aussies. Holland need to perform.

 

[Bhumi]

119 overs with NO NEW BALL taken
329 for 4 only loose night watch- man add 74 runs)

Match heading for draw I guess.

Big day for the Aussies. Holland need to perform.

He has not. Siddle with the one wicket. Aussies looking down barrel of a 500 chase now. Should the new ball have been taken?

 

[Perfect Square]

Surprising Australia didn't took the new ball. Pakistani players are more comfortable with Lyon and Holland bowling on a pitch where there no real threat.

Should take the new ball now. Australia just a matter of picking two wickets to get back in the game.

 

[Bhumi]

Siddle 22 overs 28 runs at road terrific commitment also took important wickets

Once again coward batting by Pakistani : near 50 overs scored 77 for 4, They will be beaten in all test in Southafrica soon vs NewSurge Steyn and Rabada.

 

[RichieBGM]

New ball taken after 120 overs with old. Get both quicks bowling to extract whatever is in the deck while the ball is hard and unscuffed. yet Paine has Lyon still on.[DOUBLEPOST=1538988767][/DOUBLEPOST]

Siddle 22 overs 28 runs at road terrific commitment also took important wickets

Siddle was picked to be the workhorse of the attack as few do it better.

Who made this rule? Over 3 Meters is umpires call? Meaning umpire will decide if it's out or not. Since you can initainit tell if the batsman is 3 meters our or not.

 

[Prequel]

What bullshit rule is that?[DOUBLEPOST=1538990529][/DOUBLEPOST]Nothing is going right for the Australians, were playing with zero luck. Anyways, just have to carry on with what we have.

 

[DrewBi]

I thought the whole point of LBW was that if the ball hits the batsmen's pad and it was going on to the stumps. But now there is so many rules around it, it basically has to be a straight ball that hits right in front on the back foot.

 

[RichieBGM]

So pleased I am not the only one that thinks this DRS rule is a nonsence. Lyons ball was shown to be hitting the stumps so it should have been given out. No if or buts. Yet because the on field umpire had ruled not out the third umpire can not give it. This is such as black area in the DRS and must be changed. How this would rile the bowler.[DOUBLEPOST=1538994311][/DOUBLEPOST]People we are going to be chasing no fewer than 500 runs. They will probably declare overnite and put us in on a third day crumbling deck that will play into their spinners hands. You can bet they have a multitude of them.

 

[Bhumi]

Shafiq dismissed in 60 as many as 12 times, still there but just hit 4 to moves 76

405 for 4

Holland looks to me like Grrek God

Labu back,is he Australian born?

Ball (red) looks like a "dead chopped parrots" after 143 overs.

410 for 5
Labu 1 for 14.
( Shafiq gone 11 more than I predict)(80)
