looks tricky for batting but pakistan have been very good
we are probably a fraction short given the bounce in the wicket
still you expect teams to just wilt at the gabba

pakistan making a lot of false shorts if its on the fuller side of a length (or the red zone) if its on the shorter side they look quite comfortable leaving
fine margins for error!

+x2-75 Australia fight back it looks a tricky pitch for visitors actually. Lots of bounce and the old ball is still seeming a bit. Lets see how pakistans middle order cope Aussies have bowled better on the first day of a Test. Pitch had the usual Gabba bounce and carry but little venom. But added pressure in the second session did bring a clump of wickets. Some good contributions with the bat from Pakistan. Tomorrow looks a pivotal day in the series. Early wickets and then get in on this deck which has plenty of runs in it if you bat sensibly.

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.

But disaster for the debutant as he overstepped in his delivery stride. 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.

Naseem has a beautiful side on bowling action!
He looks like Dennis Lillee.
Bowls in the high 140s at only 16 years of age.

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

But disaster for the debutant as he overstepped in his delivery stride. Then Imran bowled him with the ball clipping Warner’s off stump when he was about 150 without the bails falling off. Very lucky.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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