*Official* Pakistan v Australia in UAE 2014

[Spark]

I think he means it in the "no real replacement" sense. If not Lyon, who? SoK didn't cover himself in glory here, and all the other guys we've tried have failed. It'd be a Hail Mary to a random domestic spinner (probably Muirhead or Boyce), or sticking with Lyon.

Yeah. Personally I'm just not really bothered by the batting for some reason. The bowling, on the other hand...

seeing as a cricket australia XI beat south africa tonight in a t20, does that now make new zealand better than south africa?

Today has been immensely entertaining in a macabre sort of way

Chris Cairns told Blocky it was true when they shared a cell before Cairns' arraignment.

Was that before, during or after Blocky dropped to his knees?

I'd stick with Lyon for now, but the only way Siddle/Starc survive is if Harris doesn't get up in time and the Hazlewood/NCN types have a shocker in the Shield.

 

[Jono]

This is a flat pitch you ****ing ****s.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Noooooo.... I can't believe I chose this day to have lunch outside. Missed the entirety of Misbah's hundred. So gutted

 

[OverratedSanity]

Oh, and lolStrailia of course.

So was the last ashes series for me.

When we lost in UAE that was annoying as we were in most of the games and threw them away. This is a mauling like you did to us but in a very different way.
