Surely Fawad Alam should be given another opportunity.

Butt > Farhat IMO when it comes to batting and fielding.
The case of Fawad is absolutely ridiculous. He came into the team averaging a mammoth 56 in First Class cricket and was batted out of position as opener - he scored a ton on debut and averagdc 60 opening in his first two Tests before being moved down to three in his third game, upon which he scored 29 and 5 and was promptly dropped completely afterwards for Faisal ****ing Iqbal. Surely he's worth a longer run in the team than that given the dire straights Pakistan have been in with top order batsmen.

Yeah exactly, I don't get it at all.

Also, I think Hauritz should be taken off now, lets give the man of the moment Shane Watson a bowl, see if he can get the ball to reverse.

Not bad for a bloke who apparently doesn't turn the ball.

EDIT: Boy did he need that, though!

Hauritz' reaction with that wicket said it all. He needed it.

Great nut though, turned a mile. Did Iqbal because the previous delivery was the identical line and length but didn't turn at all.
