Has anyone got the scorecard?

The batting seems to be doing OK...Nothing great, but solid. Bowling is getting slaughtered though...Geez. Oh well, hopefully the guys will be better for the experience.

Interesting to see Gillespie getting owneddd.

I hate only having scorecards. There's so many things we don't know. What was the wicket like, poor umpiring decisions, dropped catches....Kind of annoying. Hard to analyse a game using the scorecard alone.

 

[Xuhaib]

Crap! Iqbal seems to be getting scores hope the selectors dont take it too much in to consideration.

Some of these aussie bowlers are if not most under the friar,i'd say if their bad tour continues the odds of them being stamped not too play for australia let alone australia A is strong.
Is worth discussing candidates,but these were the best available guys with injuries,so certainly a big worry for selectors 5 wkts in 2 games is disgraceful.
Cullen's plummet of the next big thing is plummetting.I question now whether we sould have taken simpson or hauritz.

I think the batting yesterday was also disappointing apart from the efforts of Jacques and Hussey (i think he batted really well), the middle-order wasn't able to capitalise on the solid platform.
The bowling yesterday was shocking especially Gillespie and Hopes (they were destroyed), Cullen's figures look the most respectable but i agree somebody like Hauritz is a better Odi spinner than Cullen.

No. This wasn't a tour about Cullen etc taking a huge haul of wickets. This was a tour about getting some of the younger, future players for Australia some overseas experience in tricky conditions. That's what we're getting. If people are stupid enough to believe that this tour will write off their chances of ever playing for Australia again well....please reconsider.

That too against the might of Taufiq Umer amd Faisal Iqbal.

 

[Mister Wright]

White really should give up bowling.

Aussie just not taking this series seriously.

 

[itduzz]

Aussie just not taking this series seriously.

Pakistan were also not taking their 9 test matches against Aus seriously

 

[Mister Wright]

Aussie just not taking this series seriously.

To suggest Australia A aren't taking this series is arrogant. Surely the players realise the next 2-3 years will be the biggest transformation of the national side in something like 15 years. Never have there been so many places up for grabs. Any player not taking this series seriously doesn't deserve to play for Australia.

Chill i was just joking i know that Australia don't take any series lightly but this series (especially the odi series) is just a grooming ground for young players to give them the experience of playing in sub-continental conditions.

Give credit to Pakistan A they have just played some very good cricket but you got to agree the conditions are suited to their style of cricket so they didn't even break a sweat in the 2 odi's played so far.

 

[Arjun]

I'd like some comments on the composition of the Australian and Pakistani reserve teams. The Aussies have a very new team here, but many of Pakistan's A team players have played several matches for Pakistan.

Why was Rogers keeping

 

[Pup Clarke]

Also, why Ronchi ahead of Haddin?

Haddin's in the Twenty20 squad.
