Yep. That's the peak. Either side is a chasm

@NTA

You could build a great team out of Aussies who should have played a 100 tests in the 90's but all time greats were in the way & another of Aussies were hyped beyond all reason in the 20teens who got capped because no one at all was in the way.

Cough Ashton Agar. And every other spinner who wasn't Lyon.

To be fair that period (sep - sep) is probably the best he will ever play -

He did plunder runs against a ferocious black caps attack.

Ferocious might be exaggerating a bit.

[booboo]

Lyon on inside the hour?

16 without loss

[Donsteppa]

Spin in the first hour and they fall for it after three deliveries.

Azhar Ali hits 205*, he's had a hell of a 2016, fashioning a very impressive record as a test opener for Pakistan. I don't think Pakistan were the complete walkover people made them out to be in NZ. We played some quality cricket to put them away so comfortably.

Change of wicket over here caught them on the hop, but they're gritty

Warner and Waj cruising

Davey Dumdum falls victim to evidence of a vaguely lukewarm spot (certainly not a hot spot) and a spi (not a spike) on snicko.

As far as compelling evidence to overturn a decision goes, it was puzzling.

[booboo]

@NTA yeah nah. Was in the end quite conclusive. Just neither in and of themselves massively obvious. Combined it was damning.

[mimic]

Pakistan collapsing again.. lol

[Donsteppa]

For the supposedly #2 ranked team in the world, on form this summer Pakistan have two opening batsmen and nine lemons.

Imagine scoring a double century & a 43 and your team losing by an innings...

[NTA]

Couple of old lions in that team need retiring. Some good young players though

Fucking hell. Chris Lynn just hit Shaun Tait onto the roof of the Gabba in BBL

Just saw that. Has to be some kind of record?

[NTA]

Hard to estimate the distance when a building gets in the way, but they're saying 125m which is a record (previous best 117m)

Ball left the bat around 161km/h

[Snowy]

@NTA It was an awesome strike. Had to laugh when he winked at Baz afterwards. 104m hit from McCullum and then Lynn says "I can do better than that" and did.

Heat are now my Big Bash team (mainly because of Dan and Baz but Lynn is just great to watch.

[NTA]

He was in similar form last year but missed our T20 side. Madness

[Paekakboyz]

It's Lynn-sanity all over again! That was a beaut of a shot. Surely he'll make your T20 side this year @NTA? Who's likely to be keeping him out? The big show etc??
