Aus Vs Pak

[Fluffy]

Good start for day 1 but you have to question the non appeal and dropped catch off Smith given the pakis past.

Good to see Renshaw and Handscombe getting some runs as well. Renshaw is only 20 so has plenty of time to improve his technique.

Between Smithy and Handscombe i've never seen so much tugging, twitching, ball grabbing and theatrics in my life... Stay still ffs fellas

seems to work for Smith closing in on 5000 runs @58 and Handscombe has started well

[globaleagle]

nice.

Pakistan 8-97 in reply.

 

[globaleagle]

getting close now - towards what was a highly improbably Pakistan win!

 

[globaleagle]

phew, that was far too close.

One could say it's a victory for Pakistan everywhere but the score sheet.


One could.

Test #2 Day 2:

Rainy first day

Mark Nicholas to hospital, and

at 4 - 192 another wicket would be nice.

 

[globaleagle]

7- 433

I'm not sure if this is excellent by Pakistan or pathetic by Aust as I haven't seen much of it.

 

[globaleagle]

Aust declare at 8-624.

Highest innings by any team at the mcg.

 

[globaleagle]

and a great win by Aust!

woot

 

[globaleagle]

Third test!

warner 40 off 27 deliveries so far!

 

[globaleagle]

Ok M clarke and others....

We get it...enough of the jokes about the older commentators not being on all the social media you can think of.

IT'S NOT ****ING FUNNY AFTER 5 MINS MUCH LESS 20.

Hazelwood is finally living up to the "next McGrath" tag and Renshaw is impressive for a 20 year old, Handscombe looking very comfortable at test level as well.

Real test coming up in India - going to be very hard with our current spinning stocks, whilst Lyon got better he is still going to need to improve a lot more to give us a chance over there.
