Saad Ali or Usman Salahuddin ?

I still belived Usman Salahuddin has more potential than Saad Ali vs Quality bowling
Salahuddin had test debut in Ireland were he scored 30 odd not out while chasing for victory.

Above both are middle order batsman

I don't see how you can 'rest' Fakhar. Stupid.

Amir left out again too. That interview last year where he said he anticipates playing what seemed like a very small number of tests? Well his wish is being fulfilled.

He was actually rested for the Aus series as the management wanted him to rest a bit take care of his niggles and then comeback refreshed.I think he shot himself in the foot when he went on Twitter and praised his domestic side coaching staff for pointing out his flaws which the national team coaching staff never addressed this did not go down well with Mickey and Azhar Mahmood with the latter even calling Amir ungrateful for the support he received over the past 2 years despite lacklustre performances and as bit of a lesson he is being givin this cold shoulder also Shaheen getting developed faster then they expected is allowing them to shut Amir off for the time being.

Personally I believe in England this year he looked his best since the return from the ban and he should be back for the South Africa series provided he can iron out his issues with Mickey and Azhar.

South Africa got up to win the decider in their series after losing the middle one - their side is a similar shape to ours, some quality in the top order, bad lower-middle and good bowlers who can't bat. It's an omen - Williamson and Latham just need to do the Du Plessis/ Miller parts plz.

It'll be nice to overturn our terrible record in series deciders at the same time.

Uh-oh. NZ having to chase and without KW. They'll do well to win from here.

Henry finally selected over Southee, hope he goes well.

So Pakistan going with Haris and Hafeez as 5th bowler. This team will never seize to surprise me..actually now it's not even a surprise anymore because I almost expect something like this. Pakistan won't take any risks or experiment in dead rubbers when they're up 2-0 in a T20 series they're clearly dominating but in a must win ODI decider they'll go with a bowling composition they've never used before.

Pitch looks slow and low, definitely more suited to Pakistan's attack than NZ's. CdG and Sodhi's efforts today will be important.

Yes it looks dead and flat, wonder if it will take turn.

Not good conditions for Henry but I'm pleased he's playing anyway - we should give him a decent spell in the side.
