getting a guy like Younis Khan on debut is the stuff dreams are made of. That's a huge scalp! go on son!

Fool!! How will he take 5-for if you don't berate him????

sorry, edit below

getting a guy like Younis Khan on debut is the stuff dreams are made of, especially if you're a bang average dibbly medium-pacer. That's a huge scalp! go on you average son of a bitch!

You now claim his fourth wicket! Anyone got a zinger to guarantee NTA's "Michelle"?

motherfucker. The first one of the summer. I fucking expected better of you Don.

A good way to test if the word filter was still set...

I tell you what, Trent Boult better buck his fucking ideas up. He's being carried in this attack

I'm amazed NTA hasn't used it yet, but then it's all been about the South African bowlers.

he's a bogan from Western Sydney. You are a distinguished gentleman from the Bay, don't lower yourself to his standard

Quite. One will take care with one's speech in the future. (I blame it on the shock of jinxes working out In the right direction for once)

The Silver Fern, where predictions go to die

Everyone's first 2 bowlers on the team sheet have done fuck all. The disappointing/head scratcher selections have all the wickets.

6 down now, Pakistan doing an Australia and collapsing in an embarrassing heap.

Rapido

Have only just started watching. What is the consensus, is 100-6 pretty good for the conditions?

@Rapido wont know until we bat now will we...:thinking:

Got to love Misbah. Has any one man been so influential for a single cricketing nation? Big call. But he seems to have single handedly dragged Pakistan out of the cricketing mud. So much mud.

...,. Will probably be rocked by a scandal in a few years time, got to keep my cynicism .....

If Kane goes, I almost wouldn't back us to be 100-6 in any conditions. That's how bad I reckon we are now.

I said 'almost'.

Not really. Several of the shots to get out were quite poor and it hasn't been unplayable.

That de Grandhomme has four of the wickets is a bit indicative. A few who've taken a look and thought, "what's this crap... I think I'll help myself...".

Pakistanis looking very underdone.

reprobate

@Chris-B. not unplayable; has been swinging all day though.

By today's standards on TSF (and Cricinfo for that matter) that must translate into 300/2 by close of play...

that's mine too!

Chris B.

@reprobate Yeah - I think Pakistan will be very disappointed with themselves though and think they are well below a par score - especially given that we didn't bowl well at the start.

Chris B.

That was a beauty from Boult to get Amir!

Defending leg stump, but it swings and takes middle and off. Beaten all ends up!
