Words fail me. Our ineptitude on these barren tracks is beyond belief.

Yes it is mate, don't be afraid to have your say.

Phil Hughes must be thinking WTF ?

In Maxwell and Starc, out Doolan and O'Keefe. Pakistan win toss and bat again. Blimey.

The experts are tipping an unchanged line up, FMD given Doolan's atrocious display with the bat and in the field I find that extraordinary. Surely Phil Hughes deserves another chance.

Add Behrendorff and Hazlewood to the fast bowling stocks, both very good young quicks.

Gone for all money.

Keen observation it seems mate.

Agree Macca, we seem to be in deep sh*t.

We have developed a slight wobble at 4/207, Warner a brilliant 133 no. Lunch day 3.

We are 0/113 chasing 454. A much more attacking days play.

4/219 at stumps, exciting stuff in front of an abysmal crowd.

Great first session for our boys, Pakistan 2/50 with Johnson and Siddle at their economical best.

Pakistan win the toss and bat 1st Test in the UAE. O'Keefe and Marsh debut.

That too.

Not sure the Aussies took the warm up game too seriously, after all Doolan and Smith both retired undefeated in the first dig and didn't bat at all in the second, neither did Haddin. Can't see the Pakies winning a test.

Fingers crossed we get it right, the good Lord knows we've had enough chances in the past decade.

I see that Pattinson is currently playing for Victoria two's as a batsman and making runs too. Nice to Cummins back and taking wickets after such a long stint on the sidelines.

Anyone have info on the fitness of Pattinson and Siddle ?

Extraordinary over from Maxwell even allowing for inept batting from the tail.

Little wonder the excitment level has subsided when we play so much cricket these days. Reckon we should dispense with some of the shorter form.

My understanding is that Jimmy will feature in the longer format Jack. A very very good prospect.

It's called Wines paranoia. No shortage around here.

Amen.

Funny game, beaten by Zimbabwe of all sides and we respond by giving the Proteas an arzz kicking.
