    @chris-b NFI. Haven't been following these clowns since South Africa.

    Oh and the appointment of a CEO who is basically a Sutherland clone.

    Early wicket for Australia. Pak 260/4. Pitch apparently not turning much - yet.

    Edit: and it was the nightwatchman

    ... and an hour of play with no spin. Just quicks. Now Lyon coming on - will be interesting.

    Still no new ball, it's now 104 overs old. Just 19 runs though, but there is more action in the first over than in the last hour!

    Test cricket is great

    5 down and just over 400.

    We're going to lose this by an innings.

    @nta it's a terrible tour to play the Pakis at "home". The venue is soulless in both senses, there's half an hour of watchable while the ball is new and then it's a bore feast of middling defensive shots in 50 fucking degrees.

    If you lose the toss (and don't have wrist spinner), you might as well not bother. This pitch is particularly state highwayish.

    Fuck the only time we had fun there was a free from consequences Hughesy mourning game, otherwise everyone gets buried there I think.

    But, yeah, what you said...😁

    We're up next. It's going to be really tough. In fact, I expect us to get smoked; hot weather and spinners will do us in

    After a great start, OZ have had a batting collapse.

    10/60 after 142/0. That is some collapse. Sounds like I can take credit for that- watched a bit and then pulled the pin just before the wheels fell off.

    What? You're telling me the Marsh brothers at 3 and 4 wasn't a success? @NTA will be shocked to hear that.

    Gotta feel a bit for the Aussies though. When you look at the quality of players they've had in those positions over the years this lineup must be an assault on their eyes.

    Pakistanis appear to have their own version of Guppy in Babar Azam.

    Averaging over 50 in ODIs and T20s and 28 in tests.

    Oz appear to have their own version of our 90’s and 2000’s batting lineup too

    Does Geoff Marsh have some dirt or what? How THE FUCK do his boys keep getting selected?

    @mn5 I guess if the next best options are Head and Labuschagne, then they've out-batted those guys! 🙂

    Shaun's test record is actually OK - if he was a NZer anyway.

    A test average of 37 is pretty ho hum especially when you consider some of the ridiculous talent oz have had for well over 20 years

    @mn5 Without doubt - though I can see why they keep picking Shaun given some of the other guys who they're picking (including Mitch).

    I wish we were playing them during this dry spell - while Smith and Warner are banned.

    Dejavu or is it just a copy and paste from the post you make every year about the Marsh boys.

    I’m no fan by any stretch and thought their old man was overrated, but that’s all they’ve got right now.

    Pretty much.

    I have to have something to whinge about now Haddin and Watson are gone.
