Australia A in Pakistan

[angryangy]

I think Bracken will be an asset to the Aussie team, as he will bring the ability to put more pressure on left handed batsmen, which many opening batsmen seem to be.

Yep, Bracken will be an important part of the Aussie A team. Doesnt he take the ball away from the left-handers?

Also why hasnt Imran Nazir been selected? He is a real talent IMO. Better than Hameed and Farhat. This indirectly means that Farhat is in contention for a place in the Pakistani national side. Why dont the PCB goons recognize real talents?

Yes, he bowls both inswing and outswing well, but in particular, as he is left handed, he is able to shape the ball toward the left hander's slips with greater ease.

I think muhammad irshad will be a trumph card for pakistan team as he is becoming more mature with his pace which is more than shoaib akhter's pace n some of pakistan palyers also mentioned that he is more quicker than shoaib.......so best of luck pak-A

Upcoming Test match could be hit by rain. And the match starts tomorrow.

Somebody knows where I can follow live text commentary, because cricinfo.com isn't showing it.

Bracken has been hailed a the new McGrath. Well here is his chance to prove it.

Can't find this match anywhere. I guess it wont be news till it's over.

 

[squiz]

Yep CricInfo doesn't seem to be covering this match

 

[aussie1st]

Oh well, i'll be watching the Ashes, we will get reports of how the game is going.

Not a very healthy start from Australia A. Their batting line-up has been demolished by Shahid Nazir, Mohammad Sami and Umar Gul. Nazir looks a good prospect for Pakistan, I have heard he swings the ball more than any present Pakistan bowler. Nice to see Sami and Gul pick up wickets too.

Phil Jacques has made 56 not out, and if Bracken can bat a bit, Australia A could cross 200.

Superb start for Pakistan A. At stumps Day-1 Australia A 120/6

 

[UsmanCHADDA]

Lets hope our batsman dont choke.

Australia A have a good bowling line-up.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Australia A were saved by the rain. There were only 39.3 overs possible.

I didn't expect this. Hussey, Hodge, Thornely Watson and Haddin all out for single figures.

Here is some information about it:

Australia A made to struggle

Obviously cloudy conditions, no doubt the bowlers are getting ample swing. Already quite interesting.
