Warner is using Spartan stickers? Shame, really.

He's been using them for ages, he was dropped/sacked by Gray Nicolls immediately after the sandpaper incident.

Pakistan ended up reaching 302. Pitch seemed flat even with the new ball. Flat track bully Azam 97. Yasir Shah scored a maiden century 113. Maybe he's a batter not a bowler

Yasir got a ton! I thought that was the kind of thing only gifted away by England teams.... Sounds like Australia are hitting a new low with the flat decks.

Wonder what the odds were on yasir shah to be leading pak run scorer this series

They were pretty ordinary in the field today.  Labuschagne dropped a couple sitters - Yasir was one and he also had a stumping missed, but made them pay and deserved his ton.
 Quite impressed with the Pakistan tail.  Yasir's previous best was 42! Abbas' previous best was 8 and he hung around for 29 from 78 balls.

I wasn't so sure making Pakistan follow on.  2 days to make 287, when their first innings made 300+ ??  Seems to be vindicated (so far) with 3 wickets in a rain shortened last session, but they hardly looked like breaking through with the ball during today's play.
Lyon unlucky to be wicketless, perhaps day 4 will be better for him, but so far ithere doesn't seem to be much assistance from the pitch.

It will be cold again tomorrow, but hopefully the showers will have passed.  Two weeks ago it was 44 C and now it's 16, so it's a funny first day of summer!

Pakistan are simply utterly dire

[Yorkershire]

As I said getting rid if Mickey Arthur would come back and haunt them. Shambles!

How many different names is Nathan Lyon called?  Here is what I have heard so far: Nathan, Lyno, Gary, GOAT, Gazza.  Are there any other's that I missed.

Yassir Shah deserves a promotion in the batting order, with some experience he could replace Imam as an opener.

I just can't see why Waqar Younis keeps returning to PAK coaching setup. He has gotten more chances than Akmal brothers.

"Goaty boy" is one, but I think you have all of the main variations!  Good to see him get rewarded in the second innings after all the missed chances in the first
Do you call this one a chance?  Marnus certainly had an eventful test at short leg!

I thought that other than the initial no-ball fiasco at the Gabba, the umpiring was pretty good.  Could be wrong, but I don't recall many reviews that were overturned?
People are pretty quick to jump on any umpiring issues, so if we're not talking about them, it must mean they're doing a good job.
