Test no. 2030
Oct 10, 2018
When I woke up today, Australia was at 87/0. I read a few news stories and checked the score again and it was 87/3. The Marsh Ducks were to blame.
I thought that Pakistan would push for a 500-run lead for the psychological edge but they declared with a 462-run target for Australia. It's still too much. The only question now is: for how long will Australia survive on the fifth day? Under 30 overs would be my bet.
These days every team is a home bully only. Gone are the days of all conquering teams like WI of 1980 or Aus of 00s which use to win comfortably while on road.

Yeah. I watched the truly elite champions like McGrath, Warne, Hayden, Gilchrist, Waugh, etc. destroy almost everyone in their path from 1999-2007. No other team has emerged to take their place.

"Under 30 overs would be my bet."
You lost it. I accept Visa and Mastercard.

What a bowling? Truly express pace and that too against a batting line up you mentioned above.

When the stumps would be flying after a scorching Akhtar delivery, I would think, "How do you play that? How can you defend against that?"
Answers: You can't.
