Hardly worth a mention except for the individual players. Hard to tell who is playing for Aust as Crocinfo has 14 players named. I note Pakistan has some dude called Imran Khan playing. No doubt hoping he will emulate his namesake.
Pakistan currently 84/2 with Mitch & Elmer picking up one each. I see O'Keefe is playing. No wickets but very economical. Sounds like another spinner we know...eh Horrie?

All 14 are playing. It's one of those farcical tour games which are basically glorified net sessions.

My bad also. Sids picked up the second wicket, not Elmer.

So SOK was the best bowlers for Aus on Day 1 of warm up game. CA says he has praised Chuck for making him a better bowler. Does he ping one that goes the other way?

Looks a flat deck. Disappointing that Elmer didn't have an impact.

Buck goes for a Golden quacker.

After being 3-58, Doolan and Smith have a partnership going. Current score - 3-111

by Nath Thu 16 Oct 2014, 11:44

sounds like a very grinding series coming up

by Blackadder Thu 16 Oct 2014, 20:48

273/8

Doolan 104 (retired out)
Smith 58 (retired out)
Haddin 38*
After that not much Sad

About 3 spectators at the ground, from the video.

Hmm, 3 bats who had things under control, but failures from Buck, Con, Pup and Puddle is a worry (3 of them Pakistani ump lbws mind).

Hard to tell if they were really out, from the video, but the ball was keeping low. From the bowler's action and shot played, the Rogers one appeared to have pitched outside his leg stump but to be probably hitting. Hughes looked like a very edgy player until he, too, copped a low one.

Timely knock by dools.

Elmer has grabbed a couple plus a run out, as Pak A rattle to 3-124 by Lunch after an overnight declaration by Aus.

The Aus declaration was mandatory wasn't it? Max of 90 overs per innings? Quite a good idea for a wam up match, makes sure you get four innings. But then they spoil it by making it 14 a side.

Pakistan A batsmen smashing the Australian bowlers all over the park at the moment.
