it will be interesting to see how pakistan will do against the current Aus bowling line up..

i remember last couple of tours they lost 3-0 thanks to some fine bowling from McGrath and co.

 

[Manee]

Should be an interesting Test series, but fully expect dropped catches to be Pakistan's downfall, despite their strong bowling line up.

 

[Craig]

I can't wait for Umar Akmal to let loose. Will probably have no problems trying to belt Johnson out of the park and will do the same to Hauritz.

yep.

Tipping this to be a great series, with a very big chance of Pak winning.

Nah, not with that batting lineup and atrocious fielding. Aus to win comfortably, but Asif/Aamer/Gul will at least make them work for it.

 

[Cruxdude]

Loads of exciting matches for sure. Waiting for Aamer and Asif to rip through.

 

[subshakerz]

Given that Kaneria has been bowling decently, would you select him or Ajmal? I dont think fingerspinners excel in Australia that much, and at least Kaneria has some experience of touring Australia.

 

[Craig]

I would pick Kaneria myself. Only in Sydney would Ajmal offer anything.

 

[morgieb]

Expect Australia to win, but won't be suprised if Pakistan pick up a game or two.

Their bowling looks good, and if Younis Khan tours, they'll have batting stability too.

Dropped catches will hurt, however.

 

[Athlai]

I can see Asif and Aamer taking a truck load and about half of those may actually be caught.

Pakistyan is easily the worst batting line up in top 8. Atleast NZL have depth with Vettori at 8. You can drop Fulton, Flynn you can get away with it drop Ponting or Clarke once and they will make you pay.

2-0 Aus here.

Least you guys can bat in your own conditions.

McIntosh, Flynn, Fulton, Elliott say yours is better.

hmm...I guess so but the difference is marginal I feel.

 

[Athlai]

I think Pakistan has a better lineup but underperform so much that we may actually have the better batting.

 

[aussie]

WI not better than PAK in batting especially in the middle-order.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Will Younis Khan be back for this series?

Will be quoting this back in your face before long I suspect.

 

[Kylez]

Will Younis Khan be back for this series?

Yeah was about to ask the same question.

Any idea on when he will be back, what kind of injury does he have or is it for other reasons?
