*Official* Pakistan v Australia in UAE 2014

Flem274*

123/5
Doolan and Siddle on death row- in career terms, not just this tour

Just have a gut feeling
Australia have way too many injury issues for someone as good as Siddle to be on death row.

even hilf clawed his way back into the frame after total disappearance through injury, and Faulkner has a test to his name.

Dools looked terrible in both innings from what I saw. Siddle will be in or around the side until we have less injuries.

Not buying this "it's an ordinary attack" rubbish. It's an inexperienced attack with no superstars yet, but they've all got FC averages of 20-25 and they certainly haven't looked ordinary thus far. No names doesn't equal crap
tbf about a million Pakistanis average 20-25 with the ball in their FC comps

Rahat Ali is definitely pretty ordinary and I haven't really watched enough of this Imran Gul guy to comment, but I still agree with your general point about the attack not being as **** as people are making it out to be.

Sidds was dropped from the team in SA and has done precious little since to instil any confidence in his recovery

He'll be gone by Brisbane unless there is a dramatic improvement in the 2nd test

Doolan's test career to date mirrors his fc one (i.e. failure to convert starts, limited stroke range, poor starter against spin, etc) albeit at a lower average - simply not good enough and I'd replace him at 3 with Smith for AD and bring in Maxwell

Yeah, it's a lot like spinners in the West Indies domestic scene. Low averages aren't really anything special.

can't wait for brad haddin to get caught on the fence or at cover for 35 off 30.
