1/90 at stumps. Home side crawling along, but not losing wickets.

Re: Australian Tour of Pakistan

Cummins and Green were getting the ball to reverse and at least asking questions of the batsmen. Starc was just completely non-threatening, no movement at all. Is it enough to occasionally have a brilliant spell like in the first innings last test, but mostly be a non-factor?

Pakistan all out for 268 after losing 8 wickets for 20. Cummins 5 wickets. Spinners only got 1 wicket.

I switched over to watch the last session late and managed to see only 40 balls of the Pakistan innings.
Those 40 balls produced 6 wickets and 12 runs.

Totally unbelievable.

Starc and Cummins both brilliant.

Re: Australian Tour of Pakistan

Finally some interesting cricket to watch. Just when I thought Starc wasn't going to be able to offer much he produces some great bowling. Cummins the pick of the bowlers, although he went for some awful reviews.

In hindsight perhaps Hazlewood would have been a better choice than Swepson, although perhaps the pitch may turn in the final innings.

After a sensational start to his test cricket career Scottie Boland doesn't seem to rate a mention. Is he in Pakistan?

Yes he is but not sure he's in front of Hazelwood and he can't get a game. Not sure the pitches would suit him either. You need some pace to extract any type of bounce and need to be able to bowl reverse swing (no idea if he can or not). I doubt he would have much experience in the conditions.

How much of a lead do we need?

Would look to get a lead north of 350 and put them in just before stumps.

Re: Australian Tour of Pakistan

Just checking the cricket scores. Sporting declaration? I thought we needed another 30 runs.

Yeah just checking now, India 0-69 chasing 351. Another 30 would have been better
