No, I don't but that shouldn't stop them losing points.You really think they're a candidate to make the next WTC final?

Don't think it's fair or, at least, representative to predict this Pakistan team's results overall on how they do on a surface like this against this attack. Most of the cricket they play will look nothing like this.You really think they're a candidate to make the next WTC final?
Predicting that a team will be bowled out twice is prediction homeopathy14 runs from a correct prediction prior to the first ball. What a spectacle!
They're the only side Australia have beaten in an away Test series in the past 7 years.Don't think it's fair or, at least, representative to predict this Pakistan team's results overall on how they do on a surface like this against this attack.

Okay? Don't know what point you're trying to make here. They cleaned up SL in SL recently, something Australia wasn't able to do either. If they win consistently at home and take Tests off teams who play on slow home pitches like SL, WI and Bangladesh they'll have an outside chance at a WTC final. They don't even have to play India so they get a leg up there.They're the only side Australia have beaten in an away Test series in the past 7 years.
With a little bit of fortune hopefully Marcus Harris chalks up an unbeaten double century.On their request Pakistan will be playing a two day match against a scratch Victoria side between the tests.

Yeah came here to post this. PatheticSaddest thing is that is only Pakistan's 3rd lowest Test score for a Test in WA.
Well you can predict that they will continue to have poor selections, mismanaged players, gutless tactics and general all-round unprofessionalism. They had as easy a run based on home vs away split as you could have asked for in the last round and stuffed up royally.Don't think it's fair or, at least, representative to predict this Pakistan team's results overall on how they do on a surface like this against this attack.

Neither the schedule nor the surfaces have exactly been a secret for a while. It wouldn't anticipated that it would rain for a week killing all the grass, but that Manuka is a slow venue is hardly a secret. They had an interval they could've organised another tour match here rather than training camps there, though frankly I'm not the PCB could afford it. And then picking Faheem Ashraf was something they also could have avoided.I do have a little sympathy for Pakistan here because that tour game on that Canberra "pitch" was one step raised from "actually pointless" as far as prep for a Perth surface goes
Typical, CA makes sure Harris gets another go at Junction Oval to ensure test selectionOn their request Pakistan will be playing a two day match against a scratch Victoria side between the tests.
