Australia v. Pakistan. 2 Tests.

[K]

Brayshaw is shocked by the decision to enforce the follow on, based on how "flat and easy" the pitch is.

[K]

Ponting is surprised too...

[Pies4shaw]

6/96 last night. Let’s see what happens in this evening’s session.

[Donny]

For mine, AT LAST a Test captain has the guts to enforce the follow on.

Well done, TP.

[K]

... Let’s see what happens in this evening’s session.

It should be like the evening session every session. The one concern with night Tests is if there's a big change in conditions just for that one session.

[K]

Hazlewood LBW from around the wicket. No review from Imam.

[Donny]

Haz strikes.

Imam ul-Haq. LBW for 0.

Pak. 1/2.

Dinner break.

[Donny]

Starc.

Pak. 2/11.

[Donny]

Terrible 'stroke' from the Pakistan skipper. Excellent catch by Smith.

[Donny]

3/20 as Hazlewood (2/10) claims Babar Azam for 8.

[K]

And a terrible shot from Babar Azam.

[K]

TP goes for TV.

No hot spot. No spike. Not out. Review lost.

You can hear someone in the background say, "Well done, Tim."


Ponting: "The way he's going at the moment, he's better off going for the ones he thinks are not out."


Shouldn't the ICC make the TV review process consistent? How can they use Hotspot here and not in other Test series?

[K]

And then the batsman gets cracked on the helmet. Paine runs around and takes the catch. Not out.

There's a delay for the helmet change.

---------------------

TP on DRS: "We try and talk it out... I might need to step aside completely and let others do it."

Ponting: "Yeah, I did like it. ... Never ever use the fast bowler. I used the wicketkeeper."

[K]

Another rain break.

[K]

They came back on but now are going back off!

It was long enough for Damien Fleming to tell us that the 70s looks like a barrier for the number of Tests (Oz) fast bowlers can play in their careers.
