Shit, the way they batted out the draw in the first test was remarkable. Surviving on subcontinent pitches is harder than than an AB fan when Brodie plays the way he does.
Also, Aus now 85/6, with only tailenders and Marnus to come.

@mn5 that last wicket might have been. Saw it on highlights and the shunt is halfway down the pitch, trying to cover the spin.
Babar Azam? He's the Pakistani Guptill - test average of 27....
...slightly higher than Mitch Marsh!
Australia in the mire...

@nzzp follow on avoided... Knock them over for a quick 50 tonight and we're set
You'd still be chasing 200, and struggle to get there
But it would be over more quickly

@nta just to trigger you
Through Abbas, Pakistan were bossing the game. Across his last five Tests, Marsh has two ducks, six scores in single figures, and an average of nine with the bat. His brother Mitchell has two ducks, five single-figure scores, and an average of 11.
Pakistan’s Mohammad Abbas takes five to leave Australia lagging in second Test
Mohammad Abbas reduced Australia to 145 in their first innings as Pakistan assumed command of the second Test in Abu Dhabi

Pretty poor batting on a day 2 pitch.
Not mentioned enough ( perhaps due to the blatant cheating scandal😁) but Aus batting has been bloody poor for about 4 years now.
1 decent team innings in every 3 or 4 is not going to cut it to the expectations placed on this team.
Forget culture and rebuilding, how about some professional looking batting?
These guys are playing timid innings with poor batting plans and approaches.They had Pakistan 5 for 50 and now will probably lose. Thanks batsmen!
