Yeah, righto cricinfo.
It's hard to say this but hopefully we didn't get either of these two out.

Is there a reason Marsh has only bowled 3 overs?
Geez, you'd reckon Pup would bring the mid off up for Shezad, he's utterly milked singles there.

Why! Now we are in a run saving situation makes sense to save runs
If they are after quick runs, make him hit over the top.............as he is doing right now.
Pakistan have hit the gas.

This is getting embarrassing now. Better produce the goods with the bat, boys. Foreign conditions or not this isn't a great side we are up against.

I would put a few more on the boundary

Hahaha we couldn't produce it at 0/130!
Trouble is our batting is hardly anything to write home about. Warner and Clarke are the only ones who average in the 40s, Given that, the game is pretty much over.

PAK rarely seem to lose at home historically . Whether they are in Dubai or actually in Pakistan playing. On paper they look nothing special but they usually win on their home deck. Teams keep coming to UAE and get burned.

Its the slimmest Australia batting line up I can remember. No chance of scoring in excess of 350 on this deck. Pakistan would be mad not to declare at tea with a lead of around 400.

They normally have better bowling lineups than this, that's all.
I agree, they probably don't need the full four sessions but they will give themselves the time just in case by some miracle the Aussies can hold on better than I expect.
So do we. Well, maybe not normally but recently for sure.

Maybe this is one of those pitches that actually gets better, the longer the match goes. Mind you, it could be the best pitch in history: if your batsmen don't display the necessary application, it'll still look like a minefield!!!!!
That pretty much sums up the attitude - "we can't just bat out the time, so there's no point trying".
Personally I'd rather see us get all out for 150 with twenty overs left than all out for 300 with sixty overs left.
Maybe we just folded as we normally do when a team puts up a big score against us and we've lost a few wickets

I guess its just their conditions. The India attack is lightweight ,but in their own conditions they win. Same with this team.
Considering we took a 16 man squad for the Tests, really can't see us making many changes other than for a much of a muchness.
They could go all ballsy, drop Siddle, bring in Maxwell and have Marsh open the bowling with MJ.

Well, so would I, I like to see Olympian levels of stonewalling but that's not the skipper's view or the coachesa, they seem to think it's unaustralian or something and quite frankly none of these guys are flexible enough to do it. Rogers has the natural game for it but none of the others do.
That would be amazing
