I'm on Joe Burns' side but even I gotta admit his shot was like the face of incurable AIDS. It wasn't very good at all.

Yeah especially when you were 16. Even if he's """"sixteen"""" he's obviously younger than 21 so the point still stands.

They gave him Day 1 off because of it. I didn't expect him to come back into the game at all but he did.

Glad to see Naseem and Shaheen are carrying forward the glorious fast bowling tradition initiated by such names as Waqar Younis and Aaqib Javed.

Looks quality, action is a bit reminiscent of Shane Bond. Harris had no clue at all.

Always exciting whenever Pakistan have a fast bowling group come through. Hopefully the bookies give these lads a chance to have a career

My men on the ground in inner-Jolimont are whipering into my shell-like that Burns and Head are both in the team to be announced this afternoon

Neser and Pattinson will also be named in the squad of 14 but are not expected to make the Gabba XI

Bancroft? Really? Hopefully he's just there as cover, but I'm less than optimistic. I guess he's a slightly better choice than Harris, but even then....

I think I'd have gone Burns and Head for the two "open" slots, especially once it was clear Maddinson wouldn't play, so that's fair enough.

Good that Neser has overtaken Siddle.

Apart from Bancroft, almost exactly what I would have went with. Hopefully he will just be carrying drinks then.

Neser an interesting call, certainly don't hate it even if I would have preferred Jhye instead. Been putting the numbers on the board domestically for a while now.
