@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...😁

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.

Stunned. Devastated. Oh my stars. How unexpected. Calamity.

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

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.

@mn5 nah we're going to be all nice and angelic like Baz now.
Suck it.
There's a gulf between being angelic, playing hard, and being a caaaarnt.
Playing hard; Baz
Waugh, S (because he had the talent and ethics to back it up, and Warney seems to hate him)Caaaaaaaarnts:
Haddin
Watson -
Oz in a bit of strife with a days play to go.
Pakistan need 7 wickets with OZ little chance of getting the 300+ to win.
The brittle middle order will be under huge pressure.
-
@act-crusader On the plus side, those Marsh boys won't be under any pressure.
