From 1-61 Pakistan lose 9-56 to be all out 117
Bad news Maxxy gets a low grade hammy while fielding
Other possible bad news is our Batting has not won us games its been our bowling .So hopeful our batters can get 118 a very low total

Let's hope we see some batting smarts in the chase

Stoin out the stadium!!!!

 

[Stevec]

Stoinis goes berserk with the willow 61 off 27 balls
Australia win with 7 wickets and 8 and a half overs to spare
In this 3 match T20 series in a total of 44.4 overs Pakistan lost 29 wickets
We totally thrash Pakistan 3-0
Now for the tests !

Stoinisism was on show tonight. No ground is big enough.
He is so casual, and when eye gets his eye in, the inside of the ball starts calling emergency services.

Stoinplod produces his annual 20-odd ball innings of downhill skiing in a dead rubber against a team already checked-out and on the plane home. Now back to full-blown plod mode until next year's dead rubber.

 

[happy_tiger]

Stoinis has his 1 out of 20 good innings

 

[Tigerwould]

can't believe the for Test starts tomorrow. has there been less hype than usual?
maybe too much going on in the NRL offseason.
I used to love how the Perth test went into the evening Sydney time.
Hope we smash India after them winning the last two series in Oz

India is on the decline however at the moment i have doubts about our future as well.It is going to be a very interesting series

 

[Tigerwould]

yep. Our bowling is still good. but our batting seems to be in decline

Yeah I think both sides will be going through some changes over the next year or so, they have some talent about to come through I hope ours are better.

I think we are both on a quick decline

Your future? How is that?

 

[jadtiger]

Your future? How is that?

Like everybody else it is a day by day basis

What makes us No 1 IMHO is no team has ever had 4 bowlers with anywhere this many test wickets
Lyon 530
Starc 358
Hazelwood 273
Cummins 269 Thats a total of 1430 wickets between our 4 main bowlers
Also a testament to their longevity which won't last forever
Ps I know Anderson and Broad played forever but that's not 4 !

Age-wise, except for McSweeney, the Aussies batters are all over 30 ......

As are the quickies

Just don't see much talent under 30 coming through and we may need to replace 8 Tests players in the next 3 years
