*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

[Fuller Pilch]

And 80% will be bouncers

 

[NUFAN]

This is so boring. Credit to the openers. Wake me up when Siddle or Marnus or Travis or Aron bowls.

I love Wagner and how he goes about his business.

 

[Tom Flint]

Is this on in England anywhere? Doesn't seem to be on sky or bt

 

[morgieb]

Holland looks fairly crap again. Don't really watch Shield stuff so is it a case of him freezing or is his style just kinda Oz-centric.

 

[SeamUp]

We've seen Sami Aslam, Khurram Manzoor, Ahmed Shehzad & Shan Masood but we back to the good old Professor.

2nd saffer born to play for Australia. 2nd Queenslander Saffer & 2nd Afrikaaner South African do so.

Wessels?

 

[SeamUp]

Wessels?

Yup. And it looks like the 3rd if he does debut (Neser) would tick all 3 boxes also.

 

[trundler]

Maybe England ought to call Bell back now that Hafeez is batting decently.

 

[NUFAN]

Hussey is getting paid per word IMO.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Gonna be a bad toss to lose for Aus. By the time they bat they'll be exhausted and probably crumble

 

[GotSpin]

Why do they make pitches like this

 

[trundler]

Why isn't O'Keefe in the team?

 

[Burgey]

Tim Paine’s autobiography will be called “Hand Shaker.” Will be a great read.

 

[morgieb]

Why isn't O'Keefe in the team?

Drinking issues, and his Shield performances have tanked a bit from his absolute best.

 

[Burgey]

Why isn't O'Keefe in the team?

Pissed I think

 

[trundler]

Why do they make pitches like this

Eh I think it's fine when a place like Dubai or Adelaide is batting friendly since it's always been like that.

 

[Burgey]

Eh I think it's fine when a place like Dubai or Adelaide is batting friendly since it's always been like that.

Plus it really gets the crowds in.

This is awful watching

I think we’ve bowled reasonably well. Can’t do much when this pitch is flatter than the princess highway

 

[stephen]

Yeah on roads lie this they really should leave a bit of grass on the pitch to give something to the first bowling side.
