Azar has hit some sensational straight/on drives this innings. Some of the best I can remember seeing...kid has improved so much

Azhar has left well.

Disappointed to see Sarfaraz go. He was in a hurry. On a bat related note, I have seen one of his bats, feather light and not very big. Under 2-7 easily.

Azhar is the only batsman for Pakistan worth his weight at the moment... Patient and playing beautiful cricket shots

Rain keeps on saving the Aussies

Anyone else want to copy Sohail khan's bat? That's a chunky piece of wood!

What an innings by Azhar Ali. Specially at MCG on a boxing day match. Pretty sure the match is going to be a draw.

^ I have been a critic of Azhar and have suggested to his friend that he should hang it up sell his bats to me and the CBF forum. But no more. He is alright.

Feeling bad for wahab rihaz ...I guess not his day atleast so far
He is trying really hard ..May be a little too hard ...No balls

[InternalTraining]

^ Finally, some luck for Riaz. Good spell! Great inning by Warner!

Amazing counter attack by the aussies.

Aussies going to level the score pretty quick

Yasir bowled complete filth all day long but Warne (and by extension, his best mate Clarke) refused to acknowledge it (because Warne spent the last year trying to take credit for working with Shah) and spent two sessions created the narrative that the only reason he was going for 7 RPO was because Misbah was setting poor fields for him.

Absolutely shameless commentary.

I was at the mcg today and Yasir bowled crap. Field placing didn't help with 3 men back on the legside. Wahab would of knocked over Warner for 80 odd had he kept his front foot behind the line. In general the Pakistan support bowling was poor and both sohail/amir deserved to get a wicket or two.

Warne has a love affair with Yasir and doesn't realise the guy isn't very good outside Asia. Once England worked out he doesn't turn it they filled their boots for the most part.

Morning session Australia were village,  sohail batted like he was Tendulkar and but for the run out might of got close to a ton. Lyon just got smashed everywhere and his days must be numbered.

Hope you are enjoying your Aussie trip mate

Great innings from Azhar, good to see a Pakistani batsmen stand up in Oz for once.

The game is most likely going to be a draw. But could the Aussies get another 330 tomorrow and then be bowling at Pakistan on the 5th day with a lead of approx. 190... COuld be interesting!
