This Pakistani bowling attack is the worst I’ve seen in a very long time. What’s happened to their bowlers? I honestly reckon some of the batsmen I played with in grade cricket would have no problems handling this rubbish. Sad and pathetic for a supposed test team. Or is it a case of half the test teams being good and half the teams being crap? Really bad situation for test cricket.

^ I think some of the national cricket authorities are their own worst enemies - in Pakistan's case, they rolled out home wickets in the Tests against Australia that were deliberately designed to render all-time great pace bowlers (eg Cummins) completely irrelevant. The problem with that approach is that if you make having good fast-bowling mostly irrelevant to your team's gameplan, you can look very silly, very quickly on fast pitches, like Perth.
Meanwhile, Special K is out for 41. 1/127. |

Apart from Warner's audacious six, two sweetly timed cover drives to the rope, from Smudge, were the next most memorable strokes.

Warner gone for 164 from 211 balls. Threw his bat tiredly at a barrage of bumpers (one went for 6) but holed out trying to put another ball into the crowd.
Australia 5/321. |
