Maybe itā€™s the round ball thatā€™s doing for them.

First test match in seven months, since the ball tampering series in South Africa starting against Pakistan tomorrow morning. Will you be able to field a team @Fitzy with all the absentees?

Pakistan are the no 1 team in world at moment as far as Iā€™m concerned. If we had full pick you could make comparisons but this should be an easy series win for the mullahs

Pakistan 97/0 after 34 overs.

Which Aussie is in charge of minding the ball?

165/0. Harder to come by wickets when you canā€™t ball tamper.

Stumps on Day 3: Pakistan 482 & 45/3 Australia 202.

Pakistan lead by 325 runs with 7 wickets in hand. Calamitous Australia batting collapse. 160/2 to 202 all out.

At least we got Hafeez out, heā€™s a dinger of a player once he gets in

I see Peter Siddle is playing. Thought he was long gone.

He was playing for some old village in the pennines last I heard. Supposed to be a very nice man.

What a result, what grit and fortitude under incessant pressure. That draw is a massive fillip for us. Paine and Kawaja were like Davy Crockett and General Custer out there today at times. Take a bow sons

Shane Warne has a book out. Heā€™s done an interview with Vaughan for the BBC podcast.

The two Marshs made an impressive contribution.

@Fitzy will be seething over that.

Pakistan, the Waterford of the cricket world.

Homeless?

Thereā€™s a lot more Pakistanis in the United Arab Emirates than there is Waterford people in their termporary home of Limerick.

weird enough response

Australia 91/7 in response to Pakistanā€™s 282.

From Pakistan being at 51/5 or whatever, the spread betting patterns would be interesting.
