Sold out game - so expect lot of noise and time for Pakistan to shine!
 
Finally the long and awaited series starts. Lets do this Pakistan and start the series with a win.
 
For very 1st time pakistans bowling looking shakky :'(

Although Awais Zia shouldn't be anywhere near the national team, but I would be lying if I said I'm not looking forward to his innings :))
 
This XI would be very refreshing. Although we are not playing full strength but still would give a good benchmark on where we stand atm.
 
Its Sunday, its Eid, come on Pakistan let's have a win lads.
 
Lala gained some weight.

Fitness fine?
 
Pakistans attack is not that much good...so not a good decision !!

The wicket looks a belter. Need to put up a great score. Without Ajmal and Hafeez, our bowling looks really weak.
 
Hope Irfan doesn't play because he will be ineffective against the Aussies on these pitches.

They are accustomed to pacy and bouncy pitches, hence Irfan won't be effective.
 
If Awais Zia perform in this match then Pak may include him in ODI squad as well.
 
Hope we win this :) rooting for the youngsters to perform on this big stage

No Tanvir and Amin playing at six. There goes the theory about him being picked as an opener.
 
Dont think so. ODI team is already over capacity.

Still space for one opener to make his mark. There's doubts if Hafeez doesn't bowl anymore, Sharjeel (whom I think should be persisted with) has been dropped. There's options domestically, it's up for grabs.
 
Irfan and Anwar. :facepalm:

Bhatti and Tanvir would have been far better options.

Sami Aslam ( U-19 opener) has been called as Hafeez's replacement.

Hafeez is out for 2 weeks, will miss ODIS.
 
Is this pitch really going to be bad for bowling? The way the 'experts' are talking we'll be lucky to see 140 scored.
 
Tanu not playing shocking, Anu got nod i guess because of fielding and batting
 
Non-selection of Sohail Tanvir may cost Pakistan this match.
 
After Tanvir's last performance against WI it's a crime to not pick him, especially over Anwar!
 
Great to see young Pakistani team. I pray they perform well.
 
I've backed :uakmal to top score for Pak, Finch to top score for Aus and Lyon to take most wickets.

Lets do this :akhtar :akhtar :afridi
 
Which team would not pick its best bowler in that format?
 
Gradual build up in the stands. Amazing atmosphere so far here :chacha

I heard Saad is also a leg spinner. Is he a full time bowler?
