I feel ambivalent about Warner. He was the architect of ball tampering and exemplifies deviant behaviour on the pitch. 

I enjoyed Naseem’s around the wicket attack on him that resulted in his dismissal. 

I hope he is replaced by the likes of Burns and Renshaw based on form. 

He is a good batter to watch when playing in Australia, but has been substandard overseas. 

Warner has been the antithesis of the statespersonlike demeanour of the Tim Paine, George Bailey, Pat Cummins,  Adam Voges, Chris Rogers type of cricketer. 

Here KW. Never far away mate.

Yes up to the catch.. which replays showed was on the half volley. Lyon extracted unusual bounce from the deck. Their prime spinner Yasir also looked far more dangerous today. Oh for a quality wristie in the Australian attack.

Yes and chock full of quality DC. Did you watch. Some of his driving is top shelf. You get a strong sense of confidence when love machine (Marnus) comes to the crease. It is almost that he has been bewitched by his association with Steve Smith during the Ashes. He has a similar presence at the crease.. has adopted the same leg bend before a ball is bowled.. the same extravagant leave.. even some of SPUD's bizarre mannerisms. ..and he is now also scoring hundreds. He is becoming a Smith clone.

Starc is bowling smart. Not trying to replicate Cummins but making the most of the bounce and whacking them in short.

The ball touched Paine’s glove off GOAT on the full, which Smith caught. 

GOAT is extracting considerable turn and bounce as there is a review for a GOAT wicket. 

Where is Baggers? 

GOAT has 367 Test wickets which  is something like 367 wickets,  which is about 3rd highest Aussie wicket taking bowler of all time. 

With Pakistan being so far behind ,3- 52 off 12 overs is adventurous. 

GOAT comes on. 

3-25 in Pakistan second dig. 

Cummins dismisses Asad Shafiq caught Smith at second slip. 

How? 

Daytime cricket is different from overseas cricket played in the evenings, Baggers. 

Some of us play golf on weekend days. 

Smith struggled for his 0. 

shocked smith didn't get a 200 before lunch!

Just tuning in now

well done labu. Reminds me of smith actually

Well done, Labu! 

First ton! 

Labu also survives an LBW with DRS after Shah got him out LBW. 

 

Loving watching Naseem’s genuine fast bowling outside Warner’s off stump from around the wicket, like Broad, in partnership with Yasir Shah’s superb wrist spin, as he deceives Smith by flight for a duck by getting him LBW. 

Warner makes 150, albeit with luck with one ball hitting the stumps and another dismissing him off a no ball. 

Naseem looks  to be very promising. 

The Australian attack bowled well.

Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc, Lyon and Labu all did their bit. 

Some have elucidated Starc’s Issues, but he dismissed three tailenders quite quickly. 

Then Imran bowled him with the ball clipping Warner’s off stump when he was about 150 without the bails falling off. 

Very lucky. 

Big change in the game! 

Some have very busy lives! 

I’ve  barely been able to access aTV with social, exercise and political commitments in the last few days, mate. 

It came crashing down though - with a team total of 240. 

It seems back to same old, same old, Baggers. 

Our mediocre batsmen overseas, look great on bouncy home pitches that the tourists are unfamiliar with. 

Naseem has a beautiful side on bowling action! 

He looks like Dennis Lillee. 

Bowls in the high 140s at only 16 years of age. 

Stumps: 1-321. Joe Burns went for an unlucky 97. Warner 151, Labuchagne, 55. Warner also survived a ball hitting his off stump but somehow the bails stayed put. Warner must have had super glue in his pocket. Waqar will be disappointed with his bowlers. Gave Warner..specially too many freebies.

Warner is gonna get a Test ton by default. Please explain? Ok.. Warner wafted at and nicked a wide one from the baby quick Shah. But disaster for the debutant as he overstepped in his delivery stride. 

Help where is everyone.
