But lost the series. Kind of like Aussies playing in India. They dont have a great record there. SA lost 4 tests in 30 years to em.

Most of the bigger cricket nations have a pretty good home record, just not SA or Eng against us

 

[krakouers]

Therein lies the reason why we've pretty much dominated Test Cricket for more than 30 years.

We've produced high class fast bowlers and batsmen in equal measure over that period.

Subcontinent countries produce great batsmen but not so much strike bowlers.

Little wonder they're bowling first in our conditions because they know they struggle to take 20 wickets.

Afridi isn’t bad, just not much support but hardly have bowled terribly

India came a couple of years ago and did well with Siraj and Bumrah

Need to have a few more come over and play some level of competition to get them used to the conditions, still believe a few lead in matches helps

I’m not saying he’s wrong, but an American commentating on cricket is triggering me

jomboy does pretty well with his cricket breakdown videos, for a seppo. his baseball lip reading ones are pretty funny.

Pakistan isn’t ready yet to seriously compete against us but they fight and will get better and trouble a few countries in the years to come.

'We batted better, bowled better, and were the better team...but somehow lost.'

Pakistan played better than Australia, says Mohammad Hafeez

Team director rues mistakes with bat, ball and in the field that cost Pakistan a rare Test win in Australia

Unfortunately for Pakistan, fielding is also part of the game.

 

[Sillygit]

didn't have the first innings lead, shit ton of extras, hard to see how they even "batted and bowled" better

They probably did bat and bowl better for longer, but when they weren't better Australia fully cashed in. The best cricket of the game was played by Australia. The worst was played by Pakistan.

 

[KiwiRoo]

Lot of if's in cricket, but hard to see Aussie getting 180 in their second dig if that slip catch off Marsh is taken.
Pakistan deflated a fair bit when that went down

But good game of cricket and an excellent test pitch

 

[Roostorm]

We won. Pakistan creditable performance.

Still… even if he did a fake cockney accent I’d trust him more… but he opens his mouth and I want to close the video

 

[Roostorm]

Moral victory.

[roo blitz]

Ridiculous statement after a great Boxing Day test.

Great, really ?. We are getting desperate for good games of cricket in OZ. Good test maybe but not great by a long way

Looking forward to the Sydney test

Jomboy is fantastic. Doesn't always get the terminology right, but he's really taken to cricket and making some great videos to expose the game to the US crowd.

Me too. Can't wait for watching the highlights of the Melbourne Test with regular updates on when the covers are coming off in Sydney..
