And now he's just swinging for the rope. 6 over cow, followed by a loose edge over second slip for 4
Going for 4 hundy?
Nah. Have a crack at them now

@NTA yeah. Two cracks at it:
- New ball
- Swinging ball in the evening
Pakis looking for rain I reckon.
Given his rate of scoring, wouldn't it have been better they give him 15 more overs to try for 400* ? Chance to make history? Or they didn't want Warner's name as the one making that history?

What's your point?

@NTA wondering why they declared before letting Warner make 400
Game to win. Weather forecast looking dodgy.
Clearly wanted second place.
The "maybe they don't want Warner to have the record" comment smacked of conspiracy.

@NTA cheers, it just seemed strange not to give him an hour more. If you gave him 5 overs more he'd feasibly be on 370+, then you couldn't really call him in.....and looks like you'll win handily with at least most of 2 days to remaining after Pakistan's second innings...

Lol, plenty of others are questioning this decision, too..

Top work by Yasir Shah.
Should be promoted!
Gotta feel for Babar Azam as well - tho it was a fairly wafty shot after a stylish 97.

Anyone up for a juicy conspiracy theory??
Good.
Thought so.
Cast your mind back to the Ashes.
As a reminder, Steve Smith gets hit in the head on day 4, 2nd test, but continues batting that day.
Day 5 he's evaluated as concussed and Marnus makes history as the first sub batsman. Aus battle for a draw, after sucking the hind tit.
Thing is, if you remember, Archer also hits Smith on the elbow in a nasty blow.
My sauces, an overseas reporter and an Australian man close to the team, both claim that ol' smudgey couldn't lift or grip the bat on the 5th morning....
Can't use a sub for a sore elbow/wrist.
Like all good sickies, the trick is to take 2 days off, not one. Smith misses the next test, ( which Aus would have comfortably won if not for Stokes' once in a century performance).
So there you have it.
Elbow or "delayed" concussion - after batting on??
I know it all sort of breaks down when you realise that Australia would never ever bend rules to suit, and it's just not in their culture....
Pretty good as far as conspiracies go wouldn't you say???
Unlike Oscar Pistorius, it's got legs!
