Fark, what a douche. No doubt he's feeling good about being in the runs but the dude has no chill, and seems to be entirely tone deaf.

Brilliant.

@donsteppa Would've been better if Baz had tagged the right david warner

Warney now writing that Steve Waugh was the most selfish player he ever played with.

Well, you played with yourself a bit, Warney. Just not on the cricket field.

Aussie XI for the 1st Test against Pakistan.

Pakistan v Australia

Pakistan seek respite as Australia pick three debutants

PAK v AUS 2018/19 Australia vs Pakistan Match Preview: The Tim Paine-led side is more decidedly second-favourite than Australia have ever been against Pakistan

1 Aaron Finch, 2 Usman Khawaja, 3 Mitchell Marsh, 4 Shaun Marsh, 5 Travis Head, 6 Marnus Labuschagne, 7 Tim Paine (capt & wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Nathan Lyon, 10 Peter Siddle, 11 Jon Holland

It’s in the UAE so they should be facing plenty of spin.. not a strength of most of those batsmen..

That can't be right. Mitch Marsh is batting 3 for Australia? The world as i knew it no longer exists.

That's some mid-90s era black caps selecting right there

Re: Aussie Cricket

Little Davey Warner got a century at club level. I wonder if he would do the same in backyard or beach cricket?

I defended Warner from the lynch mob, and still do.
But FFS what a fucking dick move. Total tool.

Think he'll be at 4 with Shaun at 3

Either way, we're fucked

Well, this has kicked off.

Highlights:
Pak 86/0 after winning toss. 300+ and it's over lads.

Aussies commentators having absolutely no clue, banging on about how hard they have to work on the ball to to rough up a side, and keep the other side of the ball shiny. Apparently this helps with reverse swing. WHERE THE FUCK AHVE YOU BEEN YOU FUCKING IDIOT. If only there was a way for Aussies to rough up part of the ball... I cringe laughed on my couch.

[nzzp]

Also other highlights: the non-Lyon spinner getting smashed for 6. Nothing says fark you piece of shit bowler like getting wallaped in Session 1 of a test match.

@nta Where's Steven O'Keefe? Injured?

@chris-b NFI. Haven't been following these clowns since South Africa.

Oh and the appointment of a CEO who is basically a Sutherland clone.

Early wicket for Australia. Pak 260/4. Pitch apparently not turning much - yet.

Edit: and it was the nightwatchman

[nzzp]

... and an hour of play with no spin. Just quicks. Now Lyon coming on - will be interesting.

Still no new ball, it's now 104 overs old. Just 19 runs though, but there is more action in the first over than in the last hour!

Test cricket is great

[NTA]

5 down and just over 400.

We're going to lose this by an innings.

Siddles going ok
