Wowee... Marny another Test run out.
Run outs are inexcusable in Test cricket.
Maybe he should learn the Steve Waugh/Steve Smith trick of boning your batting partner and saving yourself in run outs.

Wowee... Match ref Madugalle rated the Rawalpindi pitch "below average".
Only "below average"?? Madugalle is as soft as ****!! How bad would it need to be for him to rate it "poor" or "unfit"?
Flat pitches are an existential threat to Test cricket.

Cash out for my draw bet is tempting already! 20% on investment.

What were the odds pre-match?
Dunno about this Pakistani pitch doctoring strategy... If they'd made the 1st Test pitch flat but not totally dead they might've won.
Will they be happy with a drawn series with 3 draws?
Prolly shouldn't be! It's only Oz, whose away Test record has been atrocious for years now.

It took the bookies until now to work out what was pretty obvious to me pre natch.... offering 55% on top of investment as a cash out for bets on the draw now.

Hopefully the new ball sparks things up a bit.
