Why?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Why?

Fair point. A typical JAMODI series. Am interested to see how Hasnain goes though

 

[harsh.ag]

It's nice to see Pakistan making the most of not being a part of the IPL wormhole

australia dropping turner for marsh is odd. i suppose they're worried about a collapse or something

For those of you in England, this is on Sony Max HD (channel 719 on Sky)

also daemon post the goddamn squads

 

[trundler]

Shan Masood looks a lot more solid and a lot less hacky than Zaman.

**** one step forward, 2 steps back.

I'm not against Smarsh playing, he's earned it, but we need more icing and less cake in this ODI side

 

[trundler]

Finch must be immediately sacked for bringing a leggie on against 2 lefties. Unbelievable.

 

[trundler]

Grr. Unfortunate end. Played well. Was hoping he'd accelerate soon.

 

[trundler]

Eternally bright young man Umer Akmal at the crease now.

I thought he was injured?

 

[trundler]

These conditions are like the exact opposite of what they're going to face in England

 

[trundler]

Some good could come of this series. Hope Finch solidifies his spot in the team.

 

[trundler]

Imad is a very good pinch-hitter. Should bat ahead of Faheem.

 

[trundler]

Don't fancy Yasir in ODIs at all

 

[trundler]

Abbas is just awesome in the UAE. Gets unlikely swing and shape. Plus he exploits the slowness of the pitches to his advantage SO well. Did well in the tests in England too. Not surer how much that tells us about his ability in English ODI conditions. I'd prefer him over some raw youngster from the PSL for sure.

 

[trundler]

No reason for Australia not to win from here

 

[smash84]

That was easy for Australia. Suddenly Australia aren't looking too bad for the world cup
