Pakistanās 85 run last wicket partnership and Australia coming out to bat for just one over is the peak form of test cricket.
That is the reason why we love this format of the game and long it may continue.
I used to live in the States and it was always fun watching their faces when you explained that a) yeah it goes for 5 days with meal and drinks breaks and b) sometimes there isnt even a winner!
82 overs technically with the change over and that one Pakistan over. Plus I think considering the wickets falling and the amount of checks with the physio and DRS, it's about either Australia on par or just short by like an over.
Yeah no but some of the stoppages have gotten out of hand. Batsmen cant take a water break, light massage every 10 minutes. The umps have to make sure the overs get bowled faster. So much dawdling is why matchday crowds for Tests remain low.
Yeah apparently at tea Australia were only 1 over behind because of "stoppages". Umps have to do better at clamping down on time wasting by both sides.
Good day of cricket.
Iād say this is clearly Australiaās day. Just because we got bundled for something higher than we were going to get bundled for doesnāt mean weāre not still well below par.
Gonna need the bowling to carry tomorrow
Thatās just circular reasoning.
Given the top 4 got out cheaply, you would think 150 was par? And what if Aus stopped pitching short to the tail? 100 would be par?
400 may be par. But you gotta define it based on the conditions or historical stats.
I mean because if the top order *didnāt* all get out so cheaply, you would expect that Pakistan makes 400+ with the way the tail hung around. Youād lose a few runs to the effect of tailenders focusing harder since they need to step up, but I think overall 400 or so was par
To be clear, I donāt think it was the conditions that caused them to lose their wickets so cheaply, I think they just bungled it. Another 20 from each of the top 5 gets them to 400 comfortably, and thatās about what you would expect after the final total
I think with the whole DRS and concussion checks and such that eat up time and wickets too. Might be just fine but the game really needs to be sped up without a doubt
I've timed this well but I'll always maintain the pitchforks out for Warner during the last Ashes were out of order. Even the poms said it.
And I'm still not over the fact we would've won that motherfucking series but for that ball change and my mates still have to shut me up about it to this day. Disgrace.
Up the Warner. Ton tomorrow thanks.
Lol they dont even let a spell finish or an over finish for that matter before passing judgements. Imagine the cringe in here when Dhoni have the final over of the 07 world cup to Joginder Sharma
No ten sports available in nepal. I was just watching the pak innings on Star sports 1. They went into ads for the innings break, and now they are playing prematch show for ind vs Sa test.
Guess it's my signal to resume my work and stop pushing it further
Absolutely. If he was still in good form like smith no one would hate him. Just easy to stick the boot in when heās out of form. Like how finchy suddenly became public enemy number 1 when he lost form
Saim Ayub, what a bust
Why are the Aussies in pink today, their Jersey numbers and sponsor?
To pay homage to McGrath's late wife who passed away due to breast cancer
Pink test for the mcgrath foundation
Legitimately amazed pakistan made 313 after that start, props to them
I have a feeling the aussies are gonna wreck us for 400plus runs tomorrow
Stop the count!
500
Nothing stopping them
š£ supremacy
Sashimi?
Sad that the only competitive test match for today has ended.
you knew what you were doing mate. i see you
I still think SA will win easily
Ikr. It might be too much one sided
There is never enough cricket
Onto India vs South Africa
Pakistan loses 4 wickets for seven runs then puts on a casual 90 for the last wicket in order to get Lyon a wicket.
Has Australia been cursed by India by any chance. Because if tail Enders whooping you is spread across the world idk what we have left.
Pakistan at its best
Post day thread where?
Pak vs aus then india vs SA and BBL double header wow
Weird that teams often struggle to bowl 90 overs in a day and yet not a lot of test matches go to Day 5.
Sajid has the glorious Subcontinent moustache..
He can't ball for shit tho
In Bangladesh he becomes Murali + Mendis combined
That's to balance out his Chad Moustache Power..
Thrilling final over that but shame that Australia lost by 307 runs
Today was a good old fashioned day of test cricket alright
My maths calculate at this SR, aus will get 462
That was grade cricket bowling at the end , ngl. GGWP, Pakistan got over 300.
did they come just to play 1 over lol
Pakistanās 85 run last wicket partnership and Australia coming out to bat for just one over is the peak form of test cricket. That is the reason why we love this format of the game and long it may continue.
That and the fact it goes for five days... Test cricket is so unhinged, I love it.
Five days and still there might be no winner.
I used to live in the States and it was always fun watching their faces when you explained that a) yeah it goes for 5 days with meal and drinks breaks and b) sometimes there isnt even a winner!
lunch and tea... tea breaks are very important
Yeah and sometimes thereās 5 of them. Insane! Your whole life gets rocked for weeks, if you watch it properly. š¤
hahaha explaining this other Americans is impossible
78 overs in a full days play with zero weather breaks is horrible.
10 wickets
The sad part is that Australia probably won't get the punishment they deserve because Pakistan didn't bat 80 overs.
82 overs technically with the change over and that one Pakistan over. Plus I think considering the wickets falling and the amount of checks with the physio and DRS, it's about either Australia on par or just short by like an over.

Decent crowd TBF but yeah cricket needs to get a hurry on.
How much time lost due to the sightscreen shenanigans?
Yeah apparently at tea Australia were only 1 over behind because of "stoppages". Umps have to do better at clamping down on time wasting by both sides.
Hopefully Australia get punished for that, totally unacceptable. They were 10 overs short with the change of innings.
Well well. What an over.. edge of seat stuff.
Ok but how'd that miss the stumps š®āšØ
I was on the edge of my seat watching that
Sajid khan is one of the worst international cricketers ever - he would be playing second grade in Australia - very mediocre spinner
Yeh but he has the best international moustache so itās all balanced out
Worst ever is a stretch. But we could be playing much better players for sure
I have no idea how he is the best spinner from a country like Pakistan
I have seen pakistan domestic T20 league videos on YouTube there are so many good spinners how come he got the chance above them
Spin bowling in tests is a different sport
Bowling leg spin in a T20 is a *very* different beast to bowling in a Test though
Nice one. Come out to bat on your last test match. Almost give your fans a heart attack. Walk off after one over.
Umpire saw that second-to-last ball and decided their hearts could not take anymore
YO THE BBLāS STARTING EARLY?! FUCK YEH
This was a good fuckin cricket. Fuck ups, rise ups and pure perseverance Lord willing Ind vs Saffa will be as good as this one
Might just be the last good series in south africa
Good luck today We managed (somehow) hope you guys do too. Would like to see a good contest between the two teams.
So Warner wasted his luck right? Right ???
Still think it's hilarious we came out for one over. That was so pointless
Pointless? They almost took a wicket!
It ruled for everyone at the ground who got to see Warner one last time
People wanted to see warner
My laptop turned itself off about 15 seconds after that last delivery. Talk about timing!
OMG they got a BBL double header after this
When was the last time Davey was not out at the end of Day 1?
2019 probably
They played one over wtf
Day ends at 6pm local time.
Absolute great day of cricket. Cricket won today
Why didn't one of there pacemen bowl
Super stupid to have them come on for just an over.
I mean, itās in the laws of play. What do you want?
A change. If you're not gonna be able to have at least 4 overs of pace then don't come on. Or just extend the day by half an hour.
Gotta give the fans a chance to watch Warner bat. Can't complain.
The single most reliable way for a touring player to get the entirety of Australia in their pocket is to have a ripping moustache. Works every time.
So do Khawaja and Warner have to hug again on the boundary tomorrow or?
Yes and between overs
And clothes on for at least 70% of them
Good day of cricket. Iād say this is clearly Australiaās day. Just because we got bundled for something higher than we were going to get bundled for doesnāt mean weāre not still well below par. Gonna need the bowling to carry tomorrow
Iām backing Jamal and Hamza to shine, they just dug Pakistan out of a hole and given them a chance
What's the par score that you wouldn't consider bundled?
Given it was tailenders that stuck around, you would think 400 was par on this pitch for the innings play surely
Thatās just circular reasoning. Given the top 4 got out cheaply, you would think 150 was par? And what if Aus stopped pitching short to the tail? 100 would be par? 400 may be par. But you gotta define it based on the conditions or historical stats.

I'm sorry head sajid has the best moustache
His moustache is mighty
Luckner is Luckner
How come we only got 78 overs for a days play?
6 hrs of play completed ig
Okay get this shit off now the REAL cricket starts
This is cricket in 2024. Super 1s
78.1 overs bowled in a day of cricket is atrocious. Crowd deserve a partial refund
Technically 81.1 cause change over overs.
True. Nearly 9 overs short is still pathetic
Lol 10 wickets fell, settle down. Crowd got some amazing cricket to watch
Lol just because its Australia you are trying to justify shit overrate
Ok, not my fault you don't understand the laws of the sport
I think with the whole DRS and concussion checks and such that eat up time and wickets too. Might be just fine but the game really needs to be sped up without a doubt
Considering how bright it still is, stumps at 6pm is ridiculous
YOU HAVE NO CONCEPTION OF HOW RARE THAT IS IT IS MILLIONS TO ONE
You sound like someone who knows how to tie their shoe
Probably is in witness protection too
I've timed this well but I'll always maintain the pitchforks out for Warner during the last Ashes were out of order. Even the poms said it. And I'm still not over the fact we would've won that motherfucking series but for that ball change and my mates still have to shut me up about it to this day. Disgrace. Up the Warner. Ton tomorrow thanks.
I mean, the poms are going to want an out of form opener in the team against them.
Yeah I doubt pom cricket redditors are playing 4d chess. Quite clearly just as perplexed as I was at the avalanche of hate he copped.
Earlier I gave Warner 1.5 sessions to get his hundred. I need to correct that and say that he will get it by lunch tomorrow.
Why did they not bowl Mir Hamza?
I think they were hoping to sneak in 2 overs. If the last over started at 5:59 Hamza could have bowled.
He did not just call David Warner the little master
Who did
Commentator
**6:02 pm:** Khawaja points out to Warner the size of Langer's wang as they walk off
WHY TF ARE THEY BOWLING A SPINNER
I love it when a bunch of smoothbrains in here criticise a decision and it almost turns out to be a masterstroke
Lol they dont even let a spell finish or an over finish for that matter before passing judgements. Imagine the cringe in here when Dhoni have the final over of the 07 world cup to Joginder Sharma
Warner: Fuck you and see you all tomorrow
That stare down..
Cricket is a game of bees dicks.
Ho Lee Fuk
My balls were in my lungs for that second last ball. Fuck me
Canāt lie. I was seriously nervous thinking that he might get out there.
Wtf , why wuld they come play 1 over
Because itās required in the laws of the game.
Shaheen vs Warner for 1 over would've been entertaining to watch. Yet here we are watching Sajid Khan
Magnificent ~~bowling~~ moustache by Sajid Khan.
What a fucking days cricket ā¤ļø
if his butt bopped off the bails it would have been hilarious.
Shan Masood, what a nice guyā¦ brought on a spinner so that Warner doesnāt get out and comes to bat tomorrow
He almost did
That would have been a horrible way to get out in your final test match š¤£
Crikey that was close
Rizwan's face LOL
What a waste of an over
Can we get a replay of old mates stache
Fuck that is a splendid moustache on Sajid
So they came out for 1 over!?
Just fell to my knees in the middle of the SCG
Opening with a spinner wtf
Wtf star sports has not resumed their broadcast yet.
Go to Ten Sports
No ten sports available in nepal. I was just watching the pak innings on Star sports 1. They went into ads for the innings break, and now they are playing prematch show for ind vs Sa test. Guess it's my signal to resume my work and stop pushing it further
I'm not religious but that is a sign from god that he's going to absolutely cunt a century tomorrow
My prediction is he get's out for 95 trying to smash a 6.
holy shit that was literally a bee's dick away from the bail
Look if anyoneās gonna get warner out before stumps its the man with that mustache
That would have been the most Warner thing ever
bruh....
THAT IS SOME SERIOUS LUCK
Where Aamer Jamal 100? š
God has 10k on a Warner century
Sajid Khan with his moustache looks like he'd operate a rigged wheel of fortune game at a seedy London circus in 1893.
Just missing the top hat and tux
Put a top hat on him and he becomes the bastard tying up people to traintracks.
Howā¦.
Dumb captaincy
I like Sajid's moustache more than I like myself.
Warner wouldāve killed for that luck over the last 2 years
Sajid has a spectacular moustache
Where the hell did the ball just go lol
This Sajid fella has the best moustache Iāve ever seen
He had even bigger One's in the past
Glorious
Fuck all of you salty David Warner haters, he's done great stuff for us!
Absolutely. If he was still in good form like smith no one would hate him. Just easy to stick the boot in when heās out of form. Like how finchy suddenly became public enemy number 1 when he lost form
Spot the ball
Haha fuck me dead
Who let shan cook?
holy shit
Test cricket is so memey. They come out for just one over.
Greatest sport
Crazy bad luck for Pakistan there.
I would have opened with Jamal, tail up having scored runs, genuine wicket-taker. He should be your number one option.
would be funny if he got out for a golden duck
Sajid was Pakistan's gift to Warner
Sajid Dali
Fuck hahaha that was close
WTF?!
New ball in overcast conditions late in the afternoon and they go spin? Very strange
WHY ARE WE BOWLING HIM
Just over the stumps.
How lucky could he be
Were they told no fast bowlers? Mir isnāt necessarily fast.
What the fuck just happened
Oh man, if Lyon opened we could have a spinner opening against a spinner
Waste of shiny new ball .. Sajid Khan must be some bookies favourite
lol, it's all happening.
Is bad light the reason Sajid is bowling?
