Pakistan tour of Australia and New Zealand 2023/24

One day we'll also laugh at Warner, just wait...

definitely a far better keeper than Rizwan.

Just missed a Warner stumping

The Indian team were promoting their own army and weren't peddling in international politics.

Also, if I remember correctly the ICC disallowed India from using these after the game. So don't understand why the uproar here?

I actually agree after watching the first 10 overs. Yes there have been chances but Australia are one lucky team with talent. Also I do not think any team in world right now could come close to beating them in their own backyard like India did. Probably New Zealand with their bowling but no other team currently has a chance.

New Zealand turn into mental midgets whenever they face Australia, I’d sooner place my hope in any other team over them.

I know what he said was controversial but surely saying Sarfaraz is a better keeper than Rizwan doesn’t warrant a ban?

if they can bowl out Aus under 390, I would consider it a good first innings from Pakistan's perspective

It would have been fine in the unpopular opinions thread, RIP

Don’t underestimate me.

Just getting round to catching up on what has happened and clearly Australia's day, driven by what looks to have been a pulverising innings by Davey.

But in the highlights package I also just saw 2 dropped catches....Aus could have been all out long before if not for yet more poor catching by Pakistan, which is something they had worked on so well with their core group. The standards need to improve everywhere.

346 as it stands currently is already way too high a score.

Shaheen bowling 130 KPH with the new ball… yikes

His fitness hasn't been right for a while. When he first came back after the knee injury everyone commented on how good it was to see his pace back up but around Asia Cup time there was a steady decrease, and then the drop throughout the world cup. I hope the PCB don't mishandle him like they did Hasan Ali and Shadab Khan.

so whats everyone thinking...how soon can Pakistan realistically get the Aussie batsman tomorrow? Another 100 runs?

Nah, i feel a big partnership coming. Pakistan's best chance was to run through the tail with the new ball.

Feels so weird to actually see good on-field captaincy in Australia by a Pakistani captain.
Shan has a good tactical mind, just needs to make runs to have an extended run as captain.
Already proved more astute than Azhar Ali and Babar Azam.

The ball is only 4 overs or so old lol

A 100 runs is a big-ish is partnership but you're right, they could easily get 200 more.

Yes, but depends if they can get a bunch of wickets in the first hour tomorrow. Absent that, i foresee 500+
