1ST TEST: Australia v Pakistan MCG Dec 26-30 2009

[Twizzle]

look like Hauri's groin wont make it through 5 days

Locky's hoover actually us a favour

 

[aussies1st]

Ponting said he has spoken to Katich about Smith so he should be able to give him some advise on what fields to give him. I wonder if Clarke knows much about him.

 

[beads6]

If Smith plays I can see him batting 8, the problem I see is if he does well what does that do to the make up of the side??? Smith is clearly a batsman who bowls rather than a bowler who bats... Would be interesting to see what happens IMO.

 

[Twizzle]

couldn't be any worse than Hauri

 

[aussies1st]

Could end up like how we used White. Watson and North will probably bowl more overs.

Yeah that could work but I think Smith at 7 would be a better fit with 4 quicks. Only time will tell it will good seeing another Aussie leg spinner in action though

 

[aussies1st]

Yea that would be ideal but Ponting lovechild mk2 won't be dropped anytime soon.

 

[aussies1st]

Usual crap again, get our hopes up with Smith and then Hauritz gets through.

Dumb Pakis didn't play Kaneria and he is in my team.... Clowns fancy not picking Gul aswell he is a gun bowler. Cricket is starting to suck, crappy selections

 

[Twizzle]

I picked Caneria as well

 

[hineyrulz]

FFS why would they leave out Kaneria??? :crazy:

Gul is crook and Kaneria isn't fit

 

[Panther_Daz]

Asif is one of the best seam bowlers in the world. He has got through the defences of Sangakkara, Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman and Samaraweera. Moves the ball both ways of the seam.

Watson better watch out or he could be LBW early.

 

[aussies1st]

Mr LBW Watson hit on the pads again.

 

[Sugar]

Is the referal system being used in this series?

 

[aussies1st]

Yep its in use.

Impressive first ball by Aamer, 146km/h.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Aamer needs to bring one back into Watson now.

 

[hineyrulz]

Different class of bowlers on show so far today.

 

[beads6]

Lets just see how long the Pakis can keep this up. Not much swing about from the so called swing kings of cricket!! Watto and the Kat look very nervous

 

[hineyrulz]

Pakis feilding is what could kill them.
