1st Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 14-18 1250hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Around the Wicket]

Pakistan fielding is shit already lol

 

[PhatBoy]

For f**ks sake

 

[The 747]

Couple of very nice deliveries from Shaheen

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Captain misfields, allows Khawaja on strike who peels of 11 in the next 3 balls.

 

[Topkent]

I want us to collapse to make this somewhat interesting

Ashes Gabba test 2013 started on a Thursday... 34,889 people attended.

Perth whingers gonna whinge about being hard done by.

**Edit that was in November!

Just picked a random year - 2016 . Perth test started on Thursday.

Great start from Pakistan LOL

 

[Millky95]

14 but over half of that game from edges...

 

[The 747]

That over going for 14 is a bit unfair on the bowler.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

No noticeable swing first over

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Are they serious about why Khawaja is wearing a black armband?

 

[eltrain]

Get the feeling that first over (in spite of the edges) is going to set the tone for the series.

2017 - Perth test started on Thursday v England

 

[Bedi]

cracking first ball to mark his debut

A Thursday start is not really an excuse for a poor crowd. Multiple Test summers in Australia have started on Thursday.

 

[tigland]

we are on track to score over 1000 runs today

 

[Black Diamond]

Can’t wait to never get a test match again after they organised day 1 on a Thursday in the middle of a working week. Members is packed though

Well this was the case in Brisbane for many years, and plenty of people wanted to take the first test away from the Gabba.

Feel like every summer has always started on a Thursday?

Sandgropers are known for not letting the truth get in the way of telling everyone how much they miss out on

2018 - Friday, 2019 - Thursday.


Thursday seems pretty normal. You couldn't say "it never starts on a Thursday "

 

[Cleavy]

Can we give them a bottle top to make it more of an even contest?

RIP to his Instagram post I guess.

Outside of boxing day and the new years test don't pretty much all test matches in Australia start on a Thursday? I've always thought Friday makes more sense but it's always been Thursday starts.

If the sun's shining Perth people are out and about regardless if it's a weekday or weekend, but just not the cricket it seems

I am one who won't go to watch test cricket at Optus. It should be at the WACA. I will not attend a test match at Optus and a great deal of former cricketers like me think this way.
