That run out is proper village - surely as a batsman you know if its gone for 4 or not?

Good old Shaun Marsh eh.........

[Mister Le Chiffre]

Pakistan declared 400/9 - Babar 99 and Sarfraz 81

Australia nEed 538 or to survive 188 overs. The hapless Shaun Marsh opened, Khawaja apparently has an ACL injury, out for 3

Is finch not batting in the danger area? I thought the rules changed preventing batsmen batting too far out of their crease

The same pitches some call roads, Abbas showing what can be done - really skillful stuff

[WalkingWicket37]

I'll give him the match-saving innings, still only averaging 23 for the series though.

Turns out you saw into the future @Kulli

I haven't seen much on telly, so can someone explain in simple terms why the Abbas fella is so good? He's described as Right arm Med Fast - but he;s picking up wickets for fun, what is it he's doing?

Line and length bit of nibble

Proper test match bowling

Good lines, good lengths, dangerous seam movement. U would be surprised how effective u can be if u keep things simple

[Mister Le Chiffre]

You watch Abbas and it's pretty reminiscent of how Philander started off in Test cricket.

[Mister Le Chiffre]

The brothers Marsh really showed their value to Australian cricket
Shaun Marsh 14 runs at 3.50
Mitchell Marsh 30 runs at 7.50

It turns out having 'lineage' doesn't mean you have any talent

Only thing was, Philander was pants on the sub-continent. Skipped a few tours with "injuries" too

Seam movement little bit away and inswing, pitching on good lenghths, i was watching it live on telly, it reminds me of Asif s spell in England back in 2010 against Australia.

Abbas is doing the three basic things right.... pitching on right lengths, moving the ball, bowling very accurately
