Pakistan tour of Aus, Nov 3 - Dec 3

[yuppie]

That was a strong batting line up for an A game. Worrying signs that Australia's depth is even smaller than i thought.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Shouldn't have got rid of Adam Voges.

Aussies always make a lot of runs at home.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Australia squad: Tim Paine (captain), David Warner, Joe Burns, Cameron Bancroft, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, James Pattinson, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood, Michael Neser.

Aussie squad for the Tests. Pucovski made himself unavailable. Harris, Mitch3 and Siddle are gone. Burns will open with Wee Davie.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I guess they'll lave out Bancroft, Neser and Pattinson.

[yuppie]

The end of Usman?

Runs coming from Warner and Smith again? No one else seems capable.

Labuschagne has an ok Ashes, but fell away towards the end.

And Wade, still not convinced.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Warner had a record breaking disaster in the Ashes. He's got plenty to prove.

[Durhamfootman]

he usually does well against a gun barrel straight kookaburra

[yuppie]

Warner at home, no problems. He will score runs.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wonder if South African born Michael Neser is going to remain the automatic sub. Nearly 30 now, not young for a pace bowler.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Pattinson dropped for sledging!

[yuppie]

Pattinson dropped for sledging!

Made the sin of sledging an Australian.....

[GarlicJam]

Maybe he crossed that line that we don't know where it is.

[yuppie]

Ah yes that line............

Has it been moved recently?

[GarlicJam]

It's a fairly flexible line.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Brisbane Test tonight. Always big moment in the cricket calendar.
