ok the pitch conditions have not been re adjusted after his pakistany like conditions with teams having to be named this is a little concerning


and with h gibbs out for 3 tests i have adjusted the touring party and thank the powers of the lfta for given bugs the opportunity to ammend and fly h gibbs back home for more treatment.

Wasim Akram
Pervez Sajjad
Shoaib Akhtar
Waqar Younis

It was a tough choice, but 5 front-line bowlers are included, with Wasim and Waqar taking the new ball.

It was a toss up between Pervez and Mushtaq, and Mushtaq's poor batting form means he misses out just.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

It's inconsequential which XI lambs you decide to send to the slaughter.

It's inconsequential which XI lambs you decide to send to the slaughter.

People thought that before the Pakistan Tests...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

... played on dead Pakistani pitches.

 

[marc71178]

They were dead for both sides.
