Re: The Cricket Thread
Broad has just dismissed Misbah in the first over of the day. He's bowling like it's a seamer pitch!

Re: The Cricket Thread
I see the Aussie top order are true to form again.
You simply cannot have Warner in your top 3 if you are also going to play inexperienced players in your top 3. He is a liability as he only knows how to play one way.

Re: The Cricket Thread
There is little depth to the Australian batting
They can not keep relying on only two or three batsmen especially when they meet a better attack

Re: The Cricket Thread
Yep, I've said for a while now, the poor Indian batting is papering over Australia's own problems. The selectors probably won't change a winning team, but they should be, simply because they are just playing less shit than India, not playing well

Re: The Cricket Thread
Totally agree about Warner. Liability. Should have stuck with Kawaja.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Our top order is still batting like a bunch of mad cats on acid cut with rat poison, but on the positive side we have an unassailable lead and our middle is strong.
Meanwhile, England's recovered to 1 for 77. I think they will turn the game around and take control today.

Re: The Cricket Thread
Pakistan has expertly chosen to review the wrong decisions, thereby wasting both reviews for nothing while missing a chance to claim a perfect lbw.
