[Pete Rose]

Rahat with that Pink Ball

He will do damage

 

[Slog]

When is the match

 

[angrypathan]

Nice to see Asghar the 18 year old bowling there

 

[ExplicitAI]

I swear these lot better be sweating buckets. The NZ series was such a failure and we would really like to beat Aus in their backyard.

 

[Amirforpresident]

I hope Mickey was telling Rahat to bowl a bit fuller.

 

[Abdullah719]

When is the match

In less than 3 days.... non-stop cricket.

 

[Syed1]

Nice to see Messi back on his feet.

Aussies beware..

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Yasir needs to play for us to win.

Haven't won a single match since his debut in which he didn't play well.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Nice to see Pakistani players enjoying the training session!

Come on Pak, give it all vs Aussies

 

[Syed1]

Is that Sami Aslam in the last picture, surely having your feet so close together and the bat so far ahead of your body isn't good technique.

How do know that he isnt following through with the shot, thats what it seems like to me

The forensic abilities of some of our posters are truly amazing

Nice to see Asghar the 18 year old bowling there

No, Asghar is still 17, Afridi 36 and Younis Khan only 39

 

[aloo paratha]

Nice pics, hope Rahat will look that happy after the first test!

 

[Abdul]

Can't wait for the series to start now.

I believe, he is 17.............

 

[Suleiman]

Just realized, Asghar looks exactly like this kid 3 grades behind me in school. Maybe it's the same guy, because the resemblance is uncanny.

 

[Speedster777]

Australia has some of the most beautiful cricket grounds. Lovely photos.

 

[Jabo]

Overall the squad selection was poor

Azhar/Shafiq will be very interesting to watch

So much invested in these guys
Who are still being protected

 

[Chief Destroyer]

I believe, he is 17.............

He was 21-22 not too long ago. Not sure why they changed it.

Asghar is from the Hub area of Baluchistan and comes from a very modest background and wouldn't have gone to a high end private school.

 

[Syed1]

He was 21-22 not too long ago. Not sure why they changed it.

He was 19 in the PSL

 

[Chief Destroyer]

He was 19 in the PSL

Prior to PSL. And no, he was listed as 17 in the PSL.

 

[moghul]

He was 17 but did not qualify to play under 19 WC, go figure.

 

[msb314]

Nice to see the boys training hard.

I have accepted we will receive a humbling defeat but still hopeful we can pull off the impossible!

 

[Pete Rose]

I want our openers to troll Australia for 40 overs going at a run a ball.

 

[Chief Destroyer]

Thankfully no chachas this tour.

Amazing pictures and such beautiful outfield ,Aus defn has some of the best facilities for sports in general.

 

[Junaids]

I'm going, but the Gabba competes with the MCG as the worst ground in Australia or New Zealand to watch cricket.

It is nowadays just a large concrete Australian Rules football stadium.

It is inconvenient to get to and awkward to walk around. And the seats are too packed together to watch cricket - it's just too hot and humid.

Lol Azhar Ali and Sami Aslam can't play "run a ball" even if they each got three chances per innings.

Sorry I meant one run per over.

Would love to know what Mickey thinks of Asghar after seeing him bowling in the nets.
