“BCCI Installed A Chip”: Pakistan Fielder Roasted After Dropping Sitter Against Australia | Cricket News

[ad_1] It was a disappointing day for Pakistan when it came to fielding as they missed multiple catches on Day 1 of the first Test match against Australia in Perth on Thursday. Warner was dropped by Khurram Shahzad just after reaching his hundred and he even survived a stumping chance when Sarfaraz Khan failed to collect the ball properly. However, the one miss that attracted a lot of attention online was when Abdullah Shafique missed an absolute sitter to dismiss Usman Khawaja. Shafique misread the catch completely and the ball fell on his hand before rolling to the boundary for a four.The users on social media were quick to come up with hilarious reactions to the entire incident.WTF bcci installed a chip in the ball#AUSvsPAK pic.twitter.com/xoNuaUK3s9— (@Broken_ICTIAN) December 14, 202...

David Warner Slams 164 As Australia Take Control Against Pakistan | Cricket News

[ad_1] Veteran opener David Warner hammered a gritty 164 to silence the critics and steer Australia to 346-5 against an inconsistent Pakistan attack in the first Test at Perth on Thursday. The 37-year-old batted for much of day one before finally departing to Aamer Jamal, two balls after smashing the debutant for six. At stumps, Mitchell Marsh was unbeaten on 15 and Alex Carey not out 14. Pakistan have never won a Test series in Australia and have failed to win a Test in the country since 1995, with Shan Masood's side again facing a daunting task.Their bowlers showed flashes of brilliance and were rewarded with the wickets of Usman Khawaja (41), Marnus Labuschagne (16), Steve Smith (31) and Travis Head (40).But until Jamal struck, they had no answer to a near-flawless Warner who smashed ...

On David Warner’s Test Replacement, Usman Khawaja’s Word Of Caution To Selectors | Cricket News

[ad_1] File photo of Usman Khawaja and David Warner© BCCI/SportzpicsAustralia Test batter Usman Khawaja has urged the national selectors to look for class over form when they choose his next opening partner after David Warner quits the longest format next month.

“Marnus Labuschagne Has Opening-itis”: Usman Khawaja On Top-Order Batting Slot | Cricket News

[ad_1] Australia opener Usman Khawaja believes there is no need to shift Marnus Labuschagne or anyone else to open once David Warner concludes his Test career, stating that given the difficulties of the task, a specialist should perform the job. With Labuschagne playing at the No.3 position in the batting order, the left-handed batter believes it would be hazardous to move him ahead of the Pakistan series. Khawaja was asked about the possibility of Labuschagne being moved up to open the batting when Warner's Test career expires later this summer, most likely following the third Test against Pakistan in Sydney in the new year. "Have you asked Marnus this? I think he would give you a really clear, 'hell no'. Marnus has got opening-it is...I think that is a long shot," Khawaja was quoted by...
