Re: Pakistan in Australia He's got a good defence which can defend that just sort of a length ball, and he is a very good backfoot player aswell, probably one of the best in the team, so they'd want to get it right.

Who takes the cheap wickets? Australia's bowling summary. Of our 5 main bowlers, I have done a bit of statistical work on who takes wickets of batsmen in the top 7, and who takes the tail end wickets. To start, Nathan Hauritz: 26 of 41 wickets are top 7 batsmen, which is 63%. Peter...

Re: Pakistan in Australia I've seen destroy teams in One Dayers, but wasn't too sure how he would make the transition.

Re: Left Handed Batsmen I'm pretty sure left handedness is due to a more dominant side of the brain (can't remember the side), and if this side of the brain is also responsible for hand-eye coordination and visuo-spatial activities, if it's dominant, you would expect them to be better at...

Re: Pakistan in Australia I think we can hardly call his summer of big scores dodgy, it was only about time he went all the way, and I don't think he'll be classified as a makeshift opener after this summer, I'd be tempted to leave him where he is making runs.

Re: Pakistan in Australia So that would make it: Butt Farhat Khan Yousuf Akmal Ul-Haq Akmal Then the bowlers. I'd be tempted to leave Iqbal in, he was one of few Pakistani's to make some kind of score.

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread Interesting, I'd imagine Rauf would be expendible. He has done nothing this test.

Re: Pakistan in Australia Khan would definitely strengthen their batting lineup, who do you think will be removed?

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread He was? He's been leading their attack for so long, he was talked up to be there most dangerous bowler and they leave him out?:eek: Has he had form issues? His last 6 bowling innings have yielded: 2/129, 3/41, 2/21, 0/41, 1/114, 0/24. Compare this...

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread Pakistan will probably bring Umar Gul in for Rauf if he's fit. Can't see him missing out two games in a row, although they may be tempted to play 2 spinners.

Re: Pakistan in Australia All I'm saying is though, one day you take that chance, and he doesn't make 65*. If he offers up chances, he will most likely go early.

Re: Pakistan in Australia Wasn't Misbah put down early though?

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread Yeah, unless Siddle performs, I'd say this scenario is most likely.

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread Well Hauritz just gave me a big up yours.

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread Yeah my number 1 choice would be Krejza aswell, but I mentioned Smith as it is his homeground and Krejza seems to have disappeared from the selectors minds.

Re: Australian Test XI - Selection Thread I'm going to say Stephen Smith will play at the SCG. Not a fan of Hauritz' unlively spin, and although he does a job he's not a genuine matchwinner. I'd give Smith a taste at the SCG and see how he goes.

Re: Pakistan in Australia He's very aggressive as it is. I think Watson as an opener could be here to stay. How impressive is young Aamer?

Re: Pakistan in Australia Dropped on 99, so he runs through for his 100. Well deserved, he's turning into a class player.

Re: Pakistan in Australia I agree, he has a bit of spark about him, something Pakistani cricket has needed.

Re: Pakistan in Australia Haha yeah, I don't want to, but I knew that point would come up so I made some mental notes. Later on in his career I noticed he dropped a little bit (right towards the end), but his purple patch against India in Australia after McGrath retired he was ripping...
