How bad must the slipper who dropped Warner, on 2, be feeling ?

Oz 0/70. Warner 29*, Khawaja 33*.

On 0? Media say he was on 2...

As for the fielder...

Well, in the ODI WC, FTB Smith BBQed Warner running between the wickets. FTB and Warner were at the same end, weren't they?!! But the Dutch fielders stuffed up the run out. Warner was on 32. After the let off, he made a century.

Dropper was Abdullah Shafique.

Catcher was Babar Azam.

Q. Which Test teams have the same 1st slip for the new ball and for spinners?

Wow, his defective technique is being destroyed!!

Which means Khurram Shahzad has got FTB out twice!!! Shahzad also got Marsh (1st inns.), Warner (2nd) and Marny (2nd).
...
FTB fanboys can stop peeing in their pants. Shahzad, who on Test debut destroyed FTB Smith, has gone home with a stress fracture. Pakistan will need someone else to get FTB out plumb LBW swiping across the line of the ball to legside.

Mr. NickIt, Khawaja, nicked off again. He also nicked through slips in the first over of the match.

Mr. NickIt has 1200+ runs for the year. Shows how flat the pitches are.



"Steve Smith looked uncertain against the first few deliveries he faced as Ali tried to add to his wicket of Khawaja."

(The Age)

FTB Smith has struggled to 2* from 26 balls. Which puts pressure on Marny to keep the scoreboard ticking over.

But storms should hit and shut down play within 30 minutes. Maybe tomoz will be sunny and very flat for FTB.

Khawaja writes daughters’ names on his shoes for Boxing Day Test
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

Can someone tell the Bormy Ormy that England isn't playing, in this Test.

I have no qualms about them attending the Test but how about they STFU !!

Couldn't agree more. Pain in the arse listening to a Pommy cheer squad squark at a non Pommy game.

Head and Marnus both gone. 5/250. Marsh seems to be doing the batting. Poor footwork from Marnus opens up the new batsman one delivery before the new ball is due.

6 down. Carey CB for 4. No footwork, either. Tried to cover drive with a gap so wide between bat and pad that the 75 tram went through it, just before the ball touched the inside edge.
