Australia v. Pakistan. Tests.

Smith has given himself up also. Startling, really. He had 300 in his sights, the way he was playing. The way Carey is batting at the other end (10 runs - all from the reverse sweep), a capitulation looks likely, now.

Any other dickheads want to piss away a century in the 90s?
Three-way tie for the Steve Waugh Award?

Damn. Smithy falls for 78. Nauman 4fa.

[Donny]

6/444.

Carey 19*, Starc 11*.

[Donny]

Naseem gets one through Carey's defence.

7/444.

[piedys]

Hope Starc middles a few; he's certainly capable.

Then go put your runners on, 'cause you're bowling on a road again...

[Donny]

All out 459.

Nauman Ali 6/107.

[Skids]

Commentators doing their best to talk this up as a contest.

She's all over boys, go hit the showers.

[Donny]

Pak. 0/29.

[Skids]

What a waste of time review that was. Why???

[Pies4shaw]

Lunch. 0/76. Pakistan leads by 93. After reaching 4/407 and looking good for a score of about 950, Australia contrived to lose its last 6 wickets for 52.

This Test will probably be a draw but I am reminded of a Shield match between Victoria and NSW about 45 or 50 years ago in which Victoria was left with one session to bowl NSW out and managed to have them 9 down (thanks largely to Jim Higgs' leg spin). Gary Gilmour had to present with a serious injury and hold out the last couple of balls for the draw.

[Skids]

I doubt there'll be anymore than 3 or 4 wickets fall.

Just pay me now )

[Pies4shaw]

I think that's probably right, Skids - but the Australians could get themselves in a 4th-innings mess, if the Pakistanis have the guts to declare.
