Not seen the Pakistani spinners yet. So, Herath.

Criticism of Garry Lyon in UAE was trigger happy knee-jerking at its most spontaneous.

Given the chance it will be James Tredwell but at present Nathan Lyon.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.
