Pakistan tour of Australia (Dec 2016 - Jan 2017)

[Umair7]

One in 13 years. You were lucky not to lose the 2003 series against India. Bucknor saved you.


Cartwright or Maxwell or Head.
Shaun Marsh won't play. Your selectors will stick with Khawaja for the first two matches thanks to his performance at home.
Handscomb's technique is a terrible one against spin.

That will be harsh on Marsh! Khawaja you never know but it will be his last chance in Asia if he fails!

India tours Aus more than any other Asian Team specially Pakistan. Correct me if I am mistaken.

Yup they do! England/India/NZ & Africa most tours of AUS in recent times

What is this revisionism about Shaun Marsh? If Australia pick him, they might as well forfeit the series and go home, saving time and energy. Picking him would be a massive step backwards, make no doubt about it. I'd rather watch Handscomb and Ussie make 8 ducks rather than pick Shaun Marsh.

And add the 2008 series with the MonkeyGate incident and Bucknor's horrible umpiring. We won one match in Perth and Sydney's game was ours too

If umpiring is to blame than back in 1999 in Hobart Test Match, Justin Langer got caught behind clearly in Hobart Test match against Wasim Akram's bowling. It was crystal clear.... Had Langer got out, The story would have been different because there were still 100 odd runs required to win the match... So we can't really blame the umpiring and stuff... Such things have to be move on with....

Not a fan of Shaun Marsh but,
Marsh average in Asia is good.
Khawaja should play !!!
Marsh in for Cartwright ...

0 in the History for you anyways lets move on!

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka have never won a Test Match in Aus!

Pak last Win was in 1995
Ind last Win was in 2008

AUS record in Asia is better than Asian Teams record in AUS!

Lanka won a test series against AUS after 17 years (1999-2016)
Pakistan won a test series against AUS after 20 years (1994-2014)

Except for INDIA every Asian Team sucks against AUS!

Totally agree. I know Pakistan have folded rather disappointingly in this series but that does`nt mean Australia`s record overseas is spotless. Lets see India`s record in Australia post 2000. It was 1-1 in 2003/4 and could easily have been a win to India. Same in 2008 which was a hard fought 2-1 loss to India and that included that horrible test at SCG where as many as 6 decisions went against India in that one inning. 2011 was a shocker for India (4-0) but again in 2014, the series was really hard fought.

Contrast that to Australia in Asia in the last few years. 2-0 loss to India in 2008, 2-0 whitewash in 2010, 4-0 whitewash in 2013, 2-0 loss in the UAE followed by 3-0 in SL recently. That is no better than Pakistan`s record in Australia.

Well done to Australia for winning this series but to say that their record in Asia is better than the other way round is delusional.

India tours once in 4/5 years like with any other tour. Pakistan`s tours were in 1999/2000, 2004/5, 2009/10 and 2016 whereas India toured in 1999/2000, 2003/4, 2007/8, 2011 and 2014. Its just the last two tours for Pakistan that have been staggered and I think that has been because of the Ashes cycle changing in the interim and those back-to-back Ashes series.

I maintain this, If Australia were to play Pakistan in UAE next week, they would lose 3-0.

Yup but two different tours for India

One for Test
One for Limited Overs

Just like Aus in Ind

Amen. Pakistan should`ve easily won the Hobart test if not for that shocker.

@CerealKiller btw I will post about Aus getting whitewashed but for that to happen we will need to to get trashed on our next two tours of UAE/PAK?? & Lanka which might happen or might not happen right now we have a streak of getting whitewashed in India only (2)

It will happen. You have zero good spinners, and only one or two good players of spin.

By the way, Ian Chappell is such an idiot. "If Pakistan play like this, Australia should stop inviting them". Then all the Asian sides should stop inviting Australia, because they're shit in Asia.

@CerealKiller who knows we might fix our issues against SPIN
