heard big show raving about how well Lyon bowled

nothing really notable from the match other than the PM failed with bat and ball as did fork

by taipan Wed 08 Oct 2014, 06:24

Is big show related to big cheese?

by horace Wed 08 Oct 2014, 06:47

nah..he might be an ordinary cricketer but the BS tends to support his team mates

by Nath Wed 08 Oct 2014, 07:51

hopefully Fork finds form soon

by horace Wed 08 Oct 2014, 07:56

agree he needs to lift...fails with the bat and gets tonked when bowling

by taipan Wed 08 Oct 2014, 07:59

Big fork?

Its a bit hard when you are sent in at no. six & are expected to make up for the failures of the lower order (Finch & Maxwell et al)
Admittedly, his bowling has fallen away slightly..

by horace Wed 08 Oct 2014, 08:05

aye could be time to stick a fork into the fork

by WideWally Fri 10 Oct 2014, 12:09

Doherty in for Abbott.

Pakistan batting.

by Red Fri 10 Oct 2014, 13:23

Good start for Pakistan though they may have to lift the rate on a flattish pitch.

by Big Dog Fri 10 Oct 2014, 21:16

Aust get home in a low scoring game. Pakistan openers started well but once Johnson & Doherty saw them off the rest didn't offer much resistance. Maxwell was the top score for Aust amongst a string of mediocre returns but it was enough to get home easily.

Soooo....Pakistan fall in a predictable heap but then miracles happen and NoShow bats responsibly? WTF??!!!

by Nath Fri 10 Oct 2014, 23:07

Fork called into the Test squad

by lardbucket Sun 12 Oct 2014, 11:46

dead rubber under way shortly

by skully Sun 12 Oct 2014, 20:18

Aus sneak home by one run. The dreadful shame is you just don't know how genuine this result is. [sigh]

by Blackadder Sun 12 Oct 2014, 20:40

Maxi with a double wicket maiden in the final over. Shocked

by lardbucket Sun 12 Oct 2014, 21:10

Nice catch by Smith! Would have looked silly if the batsman had snicked it to slip though ...

Pakistan look a shambles. And rumour has it that Misbah is close to being pressured into retirement. Afridi is out of form (although he bowled better last night), and the young players are all flash and no substance. They're like a schoolboy team, really.

by JGK Mon 13 Oct 2014, 01:43

Misbah is their best batsman!?

by Henry Mon 13 Oct 2014, 01:48

Younis Khan is. Why they dropped him is beyond me.

by horace Mon 13 Oct 2014, 02:45

you know it is a joke game when D'Oh and bigshow figure in the finish

by WideWally Mon 13 Oct 2014, 05:59

So what is the Flaming Bails opinion on the Smith catch off Fawad?

I am not sure if I am totally comfortable with its legality.

by horace Mon 13 Oct 2014, 06:28

nup...if batsmen do not have to give notice of switch hitting I say fair enough, fieldsman can move...

fieldsmen in the deep or closer are always on the move as the bowler comes in

I thought it great cricket from Smith

by Henry Mon 13 Oct 2014, 06:30

I say a bowler (if he wants to) should be able to bowl over or around the wicket without notice. Make the non-striking batsman stand well wide of the pitch, and the bowler can decide as he's running in whether he bowls over or around the wicket. He could run in directly behind the umpire and make his decision at the last minute.
