*Official* Pakistan v Australia in UAE 2014

[howardj]

Hoping Warner is fit, if for no other reason than we don't have to hear about the Phil Hughes redemption story...again

How he's gone back to the family's Macksville Banana farm, cleared his head, and resolved to play his natural game

Therefore, it will be different this time

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I don't want Phillip anyone near the team.

So are we expecting Marsh and O'Keefe to debut or will the selectors go with Maxwell and Hilf/Starc?

 

[Riggins]

I think it's subject to Marsh's fitness. If he's good to go then the first pair, otherwise Maxwell + Starc.

 

[Spark]

Marsh a future Test captain: Clarke

clarkeh pls

 

[TimAngas]

Surely $5.00 is paying a bit excessive for a Pak win at the moment.

 

[aussie tragic]

5-6 hours behind east coast

Actually, with daylight savings UAE is now 7 hours behind...still 6 hours for Qld though

 

[GotSpin]

6am start here...

 

[howardj]

Been 200 odd days since the last Australian Test match

Hangin' for it

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hope Shan Masood gets a game. Was very impressed with his debut knock and feel he should've got a longer run.

 

[TimAngas]

Does TV coverage Foxsports start now, or in 30 mins?

 

[Spikey]

benchmark00's favourite player presenting O'Keefe with his cap

 

[Riggins]

Wouldn't mind one of those last man standing things for this match? Where are you n00fers!?

Neither. It starts when the match starts.

q1) will dean jones mention his double ton by the end of the first session?

 

[Spikey]

yes

 

[Riggins]

Never knew he made a double ton on debut until this morning.

 

[Nate]

Go O'Keefe

 

[Spark]

wtf, there's an imran khan playing?

 

[howardj]

Pak are batting

 

[duffer]

Ugh, gonna be some death by spin this series. Hopefully O'Keefe goes well.
