0/48. Haddin misses a chance of Lyon (who surely has worse luck than any other spin bowler in Aust history).

We are SO screwed.

17.6
Lyon to Ahmed Shehzad, OUT, got him! Shehzad kept playing back to length balls. It was okay as long as he was playing with a straight bat, but this time he looked to work it off the stumps into the leg side and missed. Struck plumb in front of middle, and he didn't review. Good decision.
Ahmed Shehzad lbw b Lyon 35 (64b 3x4 0x6) SR: 54.68

Maxwell batting at 3! Starc in too.

If Pak win the toss, pile in.

You can hardly justify him (2/3s of the top 6 for that matter) batting above johnson.

Didn't Shane Warne's "manifesto" on Australian cricket about 18 months ago call for Maxwell to bat at three? He obviously has Lehmann and Clarke's ear.....

CLarke's "funky" captaincy coming in for some criticism.

Over rate is a bit crap.

Looking a tad ominous for us at this juncture.

YK at it again.

by Paul Keating Thu 30 Oct 2014, 11:18

When was the last time anyone got three tons in consecutive innings vs Australia?

by lardbucket Thu 30 Oct 2014, 12:35

2 - 256

dire

by taipan Thu 30 Oct 2014, 12:40

Staring down the barrel now.

by Paul Keating Thu 30 Oct 2014, 12:42

Haddin missed a sitter to run YK out for 97

by Paul Keating Thu 30 Oct 2014, 12:43

YK is the first man to score three consecutive tons against Australia since Herbert Sutcliffe

by MoH Thu 30 Oct 2014, 12:49

Pakistan really do know how to give teams who've had a good year a reality check.

by JGK Thu 30 Oct 2014, 13:35

Great stuff from Pak.

Insipid shit from Aust.

bye bye Brad

Clarke's captaincy is great when conditions are in Australia's favour and their bowlers are going nicely, but it looks speculative and yes, "funky" when things aren't going well.

by Brass Monkey Thu 30 Oct 2014, 15:53

Wowzers. Whatta blowbang. Meek genuflection from Australia / YK imperious.

Insane stat from Ponts. Top business.

by skully Thu 30 Oct 2014, 19:15

Awful. Just awful. Flat track sooks.

by Big Dog Thu 30 Oct 2014, 20:14

Anyone else have that feeling of deja vu?

by Nath Thu 30 Oct 2014, 20:24

Flattest pitch since Tubby's 334*?

by skully Thu 30 Oct 2014, 20:51

Aye Nath. After the first over I could see 2-300 and another YK ton on the board.

Congrats to YK BTW. Stellar effort.
