Pakistan tour of Oz, Dec 8-Jan 26

[The Professor]

Makes me laugh that Ian Chappell has been slating Pakistan all week and since the loss hasn't referred to his comments once.

[GarlicJam]

Lynn and Mitchell marsh out of the series with injury i think.

Handscomb(e) called into squad as cover.

[andy]

big shame for Chris Lynn, and a blow for marsh having been re-called to test side for India, but he can't get away with a bad shoulder particuarly if ball is only going down at 125kph

[rich1uk]

stanlake gets whacked around a bit in his second over, 20 runs for sharjeel

[rich1uk]

key bit of the game here for pakistan

lost a couple of wickets, can they keep the run rate up and set themselves up for the last 10-15 overs without losing any more

[rich1uk]

Babar equals the record of the fastest to 1000 runs in ODI

game fairly even atm i think, pakistan maybe just need to get a move on

[rich1uk]

pakistan just fizzled out a bit here

looked like getting 280-290 but losing a few wickets and some poor batting has meant they are going to be 25-30 runs short of that and even that might not have been enough

Smith using only 5 bowlers.

Head getting 10 overs, Maxwell none. Head in the test team in India?

No he is not, though i thought he was listed to replace Marsh?

Seems that s a no.

Which makes Smith not bowling Max even stranger.

i thought he was in as well but ian healy had said on coverage of tonight's ODI that he wasn't going to india, and whilst i wouldn't have been surprised to see healy be wrong, i checked the squad and he isn't listed

[Making_Splinters]

I thought before the squad was announced that Head was nailed on for a spot. You never know he could be added after the ODI series.

Yep i was the same, sure he was in, checked now, and nope.

Im starting to remember things that never happened.

After 2016 i think i have started building my own different reality. Travis Head selection is probably the first example of many.....
