Aren't Pak currently on 7?

Retired hurt and absent hurts aren't wickets are they?

cricinfo list them as all out

an innings is completed if... at the fall of a wicket or retirement of a batsman... no further batsman is available to come in

technically they havent lost 10 wickets but the innings is complete ...( as cricinfo doesnt list those innings I'm not looking them up )

Ahem Fromberg.

Did Brian Murgatroyd just say something about little boys trying to put their fingers in dykes??

Another century for Tom Latham.

He's 22 ... apparently* (source Cricinfo) the youngest opener born outside Asia to have made two centuries in Asia.

He's farked. According to cricinfo one of his forenames is Maxwell.

Pretty impressive start to his Test career. I've not seen him bat, how does he look? Judging by his strike rates he's more in the Cook/Rogers mold than Warner/Gayle one.

Apart from No Show Maxwell, Australia has also had -
Maxwell Henry Norman Walker - He could bowl quite well
Wayne Maxwell Clark - Performed well for Australia but had injury problems
Warrick Maxwell Darling - Enough said!

Goodish effort by the Snoozies. Young Latham certainly seems to like the UAE conditions.

of course we have also had Jim Maxwell, who is such a poor commentator he could be anchorman for Nein's coverage

Very harsh, h. Didn't your dear old Mum say "if you haven't got anything nice to say, shut ya gob"?

Jimmy is a ledg.

S, you cannot be serious...or are you you just enraptured by his spiv petticoats, barracking for spivs like reeks, Twatto, Smith, SOK, Haze, maddinson etc or the simple fact that he is neither Nicholas or Healy?

Meh, I just listen to his commentary on each ball, not the palaver in between. And not being Slater, Healy, Brayshaw, Crappelli or Nicholarse certainly helps.

well yes...he is not Healy or Nicholas

Two early wickets including the great man Latham.
NZ 5/245

Agree with horrie. Jim Maxwell is dreadful. I find it impossible to listen to him.

But you make it so easy for everyone else

Maxwell is a farquit

Dismissed Sunny 4 times in Tests ...Sunny 'unofficially' labelled him a chucker ...Australia and England boards had an agreement (since Meckiff et al) that no 'suspect" bowlers would play Ashes cricket (obviously over by the time Lee played) ...and Clarl's Test career stopped at 10 Tests ...44 wickets @28.75

Clark has described his action as "wristy" ...but said the only time there were whispers about it was after he started getting Gavaskar out

So the Wackies under a little pressure for the first time in 5 Tests, ay?

They'll probably score 750 in two days and still win by an innings.
