*Official* Pakistan v Australia in UAE 2014

[Riggins]

has merit.

 

[Jono]

Why is it embarrassing? The manner of it or the opposition?

Lost to a team that lost a test match to Zimbabwe 12 months ago, and that team that lost to Zimbabwe had Ajmal.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Wow. Great fight back from the aussies. Well done. Would have never thought at lunch that it would go to the last session.

And well played Pakistan to do well on a reasonably easy wicket.

Really, you ****? Didn't you post this?

from what I read on cricinfo if Australia can manage to play the straight deliveries then they should be able to see out the day tomorrow

Gambhiring at its worst

 

[Burgey]

Watson

He probably belongs in the discussion tbh. It would allow the next batsman they bring in to kick off at six, as well.

 

[Spikey]

I'll deny ever thinking it if it happens and fails, but I would actually like to see the big show @ 3 for the next game.

he's really more of an opener

How long is he supposed to be out for this time?

 

[Valer]

I think I mentioned it earlier but hes been our best #3 in the past 5 years.

Was it the same team? Because before the tests, Pakistan lost an ODI to a team which lost a game to Zimbabwe just a few weeks ago....

 

[Valer]

Played in the ODD final today.

He played in the ODD final tonight for NSW. Made 70 odd.

Yeah maybe Zimbabwe are just > Australia and Pakistan.

So be back for the home tests soon then. Guess it just a case of fingers crossed he doesn't break down again just before the world cup.

Always a great shame to see Australia lose. Particularly galling when it's in an humiliating, embarrassing and quite frankly gumptionless way.

Like looking in the mirror for an English cricketer really...

Watson

I think we're all working under assumption that Watson will replace MMarsh. So if you did move Watson to three you'd still have to find another six and that's not an easy task either. The batsmen used for Australia A in the four dayers against South Africa A and India A were:

Hughes
Cooper
Forrest
Ferguson
Lynn
Wade

(plus Henriques, Faulkner, Whiteman, Stoinis, Nevill and MMarsh who weren't really picked as specialist bats but had cracks in the top order at times).

Regardless of where you bat Watson I don't really see a viable top six batsman to pick out of that lot yet, unless they do the awesome thing and pick c00per.

Like we did in UAE you mean.

Then they went and beat South Africa the Test afterwards.
