*Official* Pakistan in Australia 2024 (white ball tour)

shortpitched713

International Captain
Gary Kirsten has resigned as Pakistan's white ball coach
This is the worst run Pakistan side in at least a decade or so.

That is saying something.

I honestly don't think any batsman in the side other than Babar and Rizwan have merited places in the side. I believe all of the rest are only in from favors and kowtowing in one form or another .

The recent decision to drop all the most meritous players in the Pakistan team was clearly designed to send a message by the controlling faction. We're in charge, we operate with impunity, now step in line. Obvious decision for Kirsten to step aside from such a toxic setup. Hope Gillespie does the same as well.

As Hazlewood is playing a shield game and Connolly playing 1st Aus A game the only question for Australia's first ODI is who of the 12 remaining miss out. I'd leave out Stoinis as I cant figure out why hes back in ODIs anyway.

1. Short
2. Fraser-McGurk
3. Smith
4. Inglis (+)
5. Labuschagne
6. Hardie
7. Maxwell
8. Abbott
9. Cummins
10. Starc
11. Zampa

12. Stoinis

Matthew Wade the new keeper/fielding coach for Australia T20 side vs Pak. Good to have some agro around the young squad 😉

Why does this start on a Monday lmao. Are they trying to make a point by seeing how low they can force the crowds to be?

I see they've added Lance Morris to the ODI squad with Hazlewood playing the Shield game.

I wondered this too until I was reminded that the Melbourne Cup public holiday is Tuesday in Victoria so a hell of a lot of people will be taking that day off anyway.
Yeah Melbourne Cup Eve makes sense for a game day.
