All spin from Pakistan 

[Super_horns]

Buttler once again holding the innings together giving us some sort of chance in the match..

 

Probably a tiny one. 

[StanSP]

Wish our players would have more common sense than to just go for the big heave instead of supporting the player that has form. 

Tilak Varna nearly running out of partners.

Didn't matter in the end, we needed to get him too.

West Indies leading by nine after two completed innings on day one sums up how this series has gone.

[RowlattsFox]

I'm all for home advantage but these Pakistan pitches can't be good for the game.

Most nations would say the same about English green seamers. Teams know the score before they tour, but few have the players to master hostile conditions these days.

Hobart absolutely smoking it in the Big Bash final.

What an innings by Owen

They lost the series against Bangladesh and have lost to The West Indies in this match, not sure its home advantage  unless England are touring

Haha yes, not exactly been home advantage for them. This is why its stupid to make big turners, it's a leveller and gives average opposition spinners a chance.

Fielding was very good as well.

Forgot Sri Lanka Austrlia was starting tomorrow morning

[Sir Steve Howard]

Aus motoring, seems like Smith and Root always absolutely pile on the runs when away to SL

[leicsmac]

The Aussie women are as relentless as the blokes.

[leicsmac]

And I hope someone gets Khawaja some Lucozade Sport soon given the amount of time he's been out there.

Any double ton in the subcontinent from someone not used to conditions there is a great knock, yeah.

 

Only question now is how much resistance the SL batters can put up when they take the field.

[Super_horns]

Another bad day for England ladies .

 

170 all out .

[Sir Steve Howard]

One of the weirdest things about the Aussie accent is pronunciation of debut.
