and Lyon hanging on for 11 overs

Lyon is Gillespie-esque in his batting. Not a lot of skill, but plenty of heart.

I have a real soft spot for tailenders who dig in instead of trying to score 60 off 30, especially when there is an established batsman down the other end.

Siddle is a similar type of batsman.

Old mate Neil Wagner is as well.

Tim Southee isn't ( first of 1028 posts about Southees irresponsible batting for the summer)

A great spell from Lyon and the other young spinner. But I thought Pakistan did well to get to 282 despite the 4/0 and Ahmed having a brain fade on 94!

@mn5 that last wicket might have been. Saw it on highlights and the shunt is halfway down the pitch, trying to cover the spin.

Always gotta be suspicious of Pakistan and Lyon is no Tim May let alone Shane Warne.

Well actually he's better than Tim May....

Well, Australia doing their best to throw this game. Now 75/5; Abbas took the first four wickets.

Long way back to 280ish from there

@nzzp never expect anything other than calamity, and you'll rarely be disappointed

@mn5 harsh. This goofy fluffybunny Lyon is way better than May.

Shit, the way they batted out the draw in the first test was remarkable. Surviving on subcontinent pitches is harder than than an AB fan when Brodie plays the way he does.

Also, Aus now 85/6, with only tailenders and Marnus to come.

@nzzp follow on avoided... Knock them over for a quick 50 tonight and we're set

Babar Azam? He's the Pakistani Guptill - test average of 27....

...slightly higher than Mitch Marsh!

Australia in the mire...

You'd still be chasing 200, and struggle to get there

91/7. Should be the game there. 5 wickets in a session - and 4/7 fell to Abbas!

Yeah I know I replied to my own post and corrected myself. Many on here should learn to do that....

But it would be over more quickly

There's a baffling run out in this game.

That's Unastrayan.

You have no right to sound like a Black Caps fan. Wait 40 years living that mantra until you can join our club.

@booboo surely he gets a concession for being a Wobblies supporter?

@dogmeat I'm more advanced thatn you guys in pessimism - remember I've watched multiple national teams collapse recently. You guys still have the ABs.
