2nd Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 26--30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[PhatBoy]

That delivery would have done Wasim Akram proud

 

[Tandy]

Lol

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Boomers around the country licking their lips.

Papers will be calling for Smith as captain tomorrow morning if Australia gets rolled today.

 

[Jamurp]

This is riveting stuff now, Pakistan really taking it to us.

 

[JuniorWatch]

Gorgeous

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Any hint of swing and we are hopeless, too use to playing on flat decks in Australia

We need more pitches like Hobart in the last Ashes. Just the right amount of green to provide enough swing to challenge the batsmen, but not to the extent of unplayable like Head showed (Gabba last summer was TOO green).

 

[Melvin]

Why are we listening to a story about spending 10mins in a lift?
It's 4-16!

 

[icyflakes]

It's a bit telling of the Aussie summer that the crowd goes nuts for Pakistan taking wickets. Compare that to the silence of taking an Indian wicket in India.

 

[danielnajdek]

That was a great ball that got Head but why is he trying to drive on the up on his first ball faced.

 

[Bob Neil]

Was Marsh in any serious doubt of being timed out there?

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Hopefully this is the last time that flog Warner plays at the G.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Pakistan due to drop an absolute soda here

 

[PAFCsince1870]

No worries guys, we got Carey to come in next lol

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Hopefully this is the last time that flog Warner plays at the G.

He's retiring after the next test.

Hint?
Moved half a metre.

 

[ams4crows]

That ball is nipping all around

 

[Dan87]

That was a great ball that got Head but why is he trying to drive on the up on his first ball faced.

Because he's Travis Head

 

[The 747]

Bit high IMO

 

[mrmonkey]

Pakistan's decision to bowl first might be starting to pay off.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Trent Bridge 2015 was the last time we're were in a spot like this

 

[ABAB]

Most lively MCG pitch for years.

 

[rippersnipper]

Not saying it's easy, but the moment the ball moves at all our batsmen turn to shit

 

[Iceman!]

Have more faith in Smudge making runs from this position than 2/300 tbh

 

[10571z]

This is fab test cricket. Hate watching teams make 500 on roads

 

[philreich]

This type of situation is precisely why other forms of the game don't measure up to the drama of Test cricket.
