PAK win the toss and decide to bowl.

AUS 0/6. Warner has been dropped in the slips.

Aus 1/90. Warner out for 38 in the last over before lunch. They are going off for lunch now.

Was about to say a prefect first session for Aus after being sent in, but not quite so perfect now. Still take it but.

I suppose that’s better than him being on 90 before lunch and getting out on the first ball after.

Well no, getting out for 90 is far better than getting out for 38

The ball is moving a little bit. Not sure if that is the wicket or just good bowling.

AUS all out 308

AUS all out 308

scrub that, third umpire says it didn’t carry to the man at slip. I thought it was out at first glance.

All out 318. Clean catch this time.

Pakistan fights back, The Wrath of Khan.

In memory of an absent friend.
FUCK OFF.

Khan got 50, his wrath is unabated.

It’s all beginning to unravel for Pakistan.

Pakistan all out for 264.
Over.

I gi away for a few minutes, sit back down in front of the TV, and Aus are batting and it’s 1/1.

KHAWAJA is gone for a duck.

raises index finger

LABUSCHAGNE is gone last ball before a feed.

Need a good session here, no wickets please and plenty of runs.

There’s a delay because third umpire Richard Illingworth has become stuck in a lift.

Warner and Head are also gone.

Peak Warming Man said:

Warner and Head are also gone.

Yeah, it’s a bit dire. 4/70 effectively.

Leg byes is top score

Catches win matches and dropped catches lose matches.
The Pakis don’t deserve to win.

No. That could cost them the match.

Marsh has 29/50
Smith has 12/39

FUCK

Marsh out for 96.

Yeah, good win.

Bloody.

Cummins sent back to the dressing room from RTS spike that was at least one frame after the ball had passed the bat. No hot spot. i reckon it was another noise…

Didn’t see it so I’ll have to take your word for it.

Out strides the mighty Hazelwood.

PAK: one-fa

Manus down.
Ball hit knee.

Tense

The Pakis are in this if they keep their nerve.

Tough one to give out, that one.

Aye it’s cruel but we’ll take it.

Almost thank you linesmen thank you ballboys.

I don’t think the Stans can win from here.

Former ICC umpire Simon Taufel on Channel Seven’s broadcast in Australia: “For me, conclusive evidence was the ball on top of that wristband attached to the glove, with the spike (on Snicko). Very comfortable from where I’m sitting that Richard Illingworth the third umpire had conclusive evidence to overturn that decision.”

Taufel was one of the best so I’ll take that

Agha Salman is out and that was their last lingering hope.

AUS win by 79 runs.

:)

aaaand now it’s all out, 79 run victory.

4 for Starc and 5 for Cummings.

The match is over but Starc is on a moral hattrick…

Inconsistent umpiring eh?

Yes. I didn’t think that Cummins should have been called out.
