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

[The 747]

A shot with authority there.....

 

[MJG14]

Lovely shot from Starc.

 

[Rabish Binney]

Would love to see MM get a big 100 here.

Could he be a candidate to open when Warner retires?

 

[NYRB]

Australia to put in a cheeky declaration before Lunch as suggested by James Brayshaw?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

He bats ahead of Cummins for no explicable reason.

It’s funny because I feel like Cummins is a better batsman and starc would be better just smashing it.

I guess Cummins is pretty elite at guiding the tail home

Nah, keep them out there, grind them into the turf.

Maybe declaration at tea?

Cummins is approaching bunny territory nowadays. Barely averaged more than 15 in the last five years.

Yep would had to do an early declaration with still ample time in this game.

The way Marsh is batting today, it looks he wants a double ton.

The Bison says bowl shit, get hit mate.

Cummins batting can come and go a bit. Go back a few years and i was confident he had runs in him on a semi regular basis. He then seemed to stink for a couple years, had some huge innings lately though.

Yeah I reckon the ashes was his turning point. When it was down to him and Lyon I had no hope. Then he did the impossibe

Cummins is a more than handy bet. From memory, he can attack and score quickly when required.

Has a won a couple of games scoring runs in the IPL.

Definitely solid for a tail ender, he showed promise of being more than that at one stage though. Definitely can’t complain with Starc/Cummins as tail enders though.

Aside from the first session they've bowled pretty well IMO. All their bowlers are getting some zip off the pitch and some movement and causing some problems for the batters.

However fielding has been terrible and right at the moments when it needed to be good.

I corrected it later in the post but forgot to remove the first part calling it terrible lol

 

[MJG14]

That looked like a decent shout live.

 

[eddiesmith]

DRS had that one missing the top of off also

 

[1990crow]

Aamir is quality

 

[Golumless]

Oof that's a good nut.

 

[Fabab]

Nice bowling Jamal.

 

[dogs105]

Aamir bowling some good stuff

 

[BACCS]

Pakistan have found one here, very impressive from Aamir so far

 

[NYRB]

That was a carbon copy dismissal of Carey, to get rid of Starc from Aamir.

 

[dogs105]

Probably got those English operators from the Ashes...

 

[1990crow]

Oof that's a good nut.

Bowls good areas and gets movement. Going to be a handful.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Jamal easily been the most dangerous bowler. Surprising to see he's already 27, and I can't seem to find a FC record.
