than the Paki teenagers and oldies they have trotted out. Abbas looks like he is ready to play seniors cricket, Yasir is
a batting gift from the cricket gods and Iftikar couldnt turn a ball if it was attached to a jet engine.
Bradman would have made 600 vs this mob using one stump as a bat....I'm biased and want Aus winning but after a great ashes
series this is just rubbish, the quicker NZ get here and these Paki pretenders are on their way the better.
I think any time you make 335no in a Test Match it's a really great innings. Credit where it's due.
All we heard in the lead up games was how good the Pakistani attack was. Abbas slaughtered us in the UAE and Yasir has 207 wickets from just 36 Tests, so is a star. Paks certainly haven't fired a shot in the Tests though and looked crap. As good as Abbas is, average under 20, bowling in the 120s is something that won't work on our pitches. Shaheen can certainly bowl.

6 for 89?
Could be headed for the second biggest Test loss of all time.

Good innings but the opposition are about the worst going around and for me its devalued, the Pakis are more interested in shaking hands and patting Warner on the back than getting him out....its just not
competitive test cricket and we shouldnt be playing them in the Aus summer.
6/89.....they have to be kidding rocking up and producing the crap they have, their bowling is bad enough but their batting is horrendous...Babar aside its just rubbish.
Maybe we got spoilt with the ashes but its getting to the stage where test cricket might have to be played in divisions where the better teams play each other and the minnows have to qualify
to get into the higher division.

True. . . . . Well done David Warner.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - dodge - 12-01-2019
Our opposition made 4/408 from 72 overs. One batsman made 211, with only 2 of our blokes clapping the 200. When we finally got him out, I made them Clark him off the ground - you might not like the innings that you've seen, but you have to respect it. Wr had plenty of opportunities to get him out but hadn't taken them.
I hate the idea of Warner holding the record but you have to respect what he did.

Pakis 3-20 in second dig.

He doesn't hold the record. Hayden holds the Australian record at 380.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - capcom - 12-01-2019
The merit in Taylor's and Bradman's 334s was the quality of the opposition and where they scored them. Head and shoulders above Warner and Hayden
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - dodge - 12-01-2019
Laj - yes, sorry, totally aware of that - bad phrasing on my behalf. Still a great effort.

Need to be careful with that.....couple of years ago we might have slid down into the 2nd division !
