I dunno whom they can drop but it would be good to see Mohammed Wasim play the next test. He is erratic but I think its worth trying him.

I think it's been pretty silly of them to go in with four pacers and not play their fastest bowler. Trouble is playing him and Jamal is asking for trouble.

Heck, they could even try 'resting' Shaheen if they wanted. But looking at the performance today I wouldn't be fussed if either of Hamza or Jamal was dropped.

They'll probably want to play a specialist spinner at Sydney though. Must say the idea of Sajid wheeling away with that horrid action makes be a bit ill.

Abrar is apparently 50/50 for Sydney.

Maybe they can bat Sajid at 7.

One can hope.

But this current pace attack is going to be seriously impenetrative at Sydney, assuming they prepare the usual concrete block.

I don't rate a half fit Abrar's chances of doing anything noteworthy in Sydney either, but at least he's something different to watch.

Wow I didn't expect that to be going over of all things. New MCG pitch really is a different beast.

Wrong about the pitching but frankly it was a pretty terrible decision given on the strength of an over appeal.

The main thing I like about touring teams is seeing different players. Which is why I hate England and India being here in seemingly alternating years. But boring finger spinners are well down on my list of players I'd like to watch.
