 What. I missed another. I took the paperwork back into to file it and heard a roar (10 seconds). No BS, this is cruel.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

 Gooday mateBat for as long as possible, give our quicks as little work to do and go into Sydney relatively well rested up. This game is over and the only winning result favours them if we declare, they score well and we have our one of our trademark all out for 80 in response.

 Re: Boxing Day Test Australia v Pakistan
 
 Tremendous win . Pakistan checked out mentally ( they do that often) at the beginning of the day .
 Still some holes to fill, but the younger side is coming along nicely. Feel dreadfully sorry for a few Pakistanis I met on day 2 who flew in from the uk to watch this test and the next and they serve up thatComment

 And yet there worst last day performance for a test loss was New Zealand last month. Hard to fathom with some of the talent they have.Tremendous win . Pakistan checked out mentally ( they do that often) at the beginning of the day .

 Re: Boxing Day Test Australia v Pakistan
 
 They batted like men just waiting to be given out. There were no significant partnerships that looked like holding Australia up long enough to deny them a win. They had no purpose and no plan. Even when they were 1/6 at lunch you could sense they would fold.
 
 
 I can't remember a side batting for the first three days and losing. Can anyone else?They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.Comment
