I gym with a first class cricketer regarding age fudging he says majority pakistan cricketers around 80-90 % are 2 years older then their listed age and in some cases they could be one or three years older this is done by mostly club owners when they register their talent with PCB they do this age manipulation to give the boy the maximum chance to get in the U 19 teams as the strength of the club is usually seen with how many regional or national U 19 talent they produce. Both Shaheen and Naseem would be in 20-22 and 17-19 range with 21 and 18 being the most likely number.

Just on the age thing, were there ever serious question marks on Amir's age? For some reason he mostly seems to have escaped scrutiny.

Is it because he was "young and innocent" when caught spot fixing? Doesn't really fit that narrative if turns out he was also 23, not 17.

Anybody watching have any comments on Abbas? How well is he bowling?

You’d think Abbas and shaheen are definite starters. Just don’t know how Pakistan are going to call it - MI Khans form or Naseems potential. Thinking they’ll go the latter.

I was wondering who's action his resembles but I couldn't make the connection. But yes, i also feel his action resembles Lillee's a bit.

Siddle to be called up to replace Pattinson to restore the one Vic rule 
There is Shane Bond comparison but the difference is that Bond would raise his non bowling arm in the air like Ntini before delivering a ball and Naseem Shah doesn't.

I think many in cricket haven't fully realised how strict the new behavioural standards are. For example, if Warner was to get cited for dissent like Smith was in the Shield match because his SA points are still outstanding I reckon he'd miss a Test, possibly more.
