***Official*** Pakistan in Australia 2016/17

I'm an Inzi fan also. I think most people would rate Miandad above, and Anwar/Inzi/Younis and arguably MoYo in the tier just below. Not sure about their past greats such as Hanif, Zaheer Abbas etc.

I think only Miandad, Younis, Inzamam and Yousuf deserve to be in the conversation. Of those I think Younis has at least surpassed everyone except Miandad

Abbas and Anwar are overrated in Tests because of their ODI exploits imo.

Going to the game today but it's already pissing down

Haha yeah, I haven't even left the house yet because of how much it's raining. Don't think we'll see much play before lunch.

Assuming Australia knock off the next two reasonably quickly, we pretty much have to enforce the follow-on.

If this is another rain-affected draw CA need to seriously consider taking the New Year's Test/Pink Test away from Sydney. If they can't put on enough good weather for a result then give somewhere else ago. Canberra maybe. Or have another Test in Melbourne at Etihad (can use the roof if it rains).

Renshaw out of the test with concussion apparently.

Hoping our Kiwi friends are enjoying the extended highlights of the 2015 WC final during this rain interruption. #MCGsobig

If the rain wipes out the 1st session, Australia should enforce the follow-on and push for a win.

this should be obvious IMO. But you never know with these guys.

 

[Burgey]

The rain interruption is affording us a chance to look back on the 88/89 test against the WI and the TOTAB tearing it up with the ball

Whats Australia's "most probable lineup" for Indian Tests..

Warner
Renshaw
Khawaja
Smith
Handscomb (wk?)
Shaun Marsh?
Fast-bowling allrounder
Starc
SOK
Lyon
Hazelwood

Wade will keep.

 

[centurymaker]

If Handscomb doesn't keep, shaun marsh makes way for a keeper (wade?)

Having just 4 bowling options against India seems unlikely, and don't think Maxwell nor Faulkner are gonna be picked, so who will be the fifth option.. Mitch March?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wade will keep.

he'll try

 

[adub]

No change from this side.

Yep. This is pretty much the side they intend to take to India.

Obviously, the jury's still out on Cartwright (bloke's hardly had anything to do tbf, and hasn't disgraced himself with what he has done) but I'm okay with that, mostly.
