*Official* Pakistan vs Australia in the UAE 2018

NUFAN

Y no Afghanistan flag
I'll need to buy more soap at this rate.
Its just how I feel. Its a terrific achievement from him to get a baggy green. He is sharp in the field, I enjoyed his bowling and I made the point that its only 1 innings and if you judged someone solely from their debut, Greg Blewett and Mark Waugh would be the best batsman from Australia over the past 25 years.

Net positive to me means someone above an average batsman. I cant see a world where he could possibly average around 40 in Tests.

Hope he makes runs next bat.

- Marnus FTW
- Why did they pick Bilal?

Not a great day for Marcuss Pty Ltd stocks.

Bilal tbf seemed like a weird call looking at his stats. It seems like Pakistani domestic isn't all that spin-friendly because he's looked really good here (and even Yasir's domestic stats aren't all that impressive so it's not just a him thing).

Haha yeah I agreed with Marcuss about that. I expected him to debut under Misbah because Misbah loved him, but it seemed like a really weird time for him to debut now. I think I ended up saying something like "he's a fun and unique cricketer so I don't hate it", but I definitely wouldn't have picked him either. It was pretty inspired though, especially since in his last FC game he bowled one over and scored one run.
