Australia (possible) 1 Brad Haddin (wk), 2 James Hopes, 3 Shane Watson, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 Callum Ferguson, 7 David Hussey, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Doug Bollinger.

Pakistan’s batting continued to contain rust on Friday as they were dismissed in the 47th over and some tinkering to the line-up could occur. Shehzad, the 17-year-old opener, will be keen for another chance after his unfortunate run-out for 4 on debut.

I hope he plays Sohail Tanvir instead, he deserves a chance.

I would prefer Tanveer in place of Rao. Tanveer can bat a bit too

Wht r u doing ?

Yup, that makes the most sense. We could certainly need someone who could bat lower down the order, and Tanvir's left arm bowling could cause some trouble to the batsmen.

Anything below 260/270 isn't defendable for Pakistan

So better the BATTERS get their act together (YK, Malik, Misbah) and utilise the overs from 15-40 for atleast 110 runs at the cost of 1-2 wickets otherwise a repeat of Friday awaits us

We need to strengthen our batting line up and there's only one way of doing it. We have to make room for Fawad Alam. If that means opening with Akmal then so be it.

Plus, Rao needs to be dropped and Arafat or Tanvir needs to be brought in the playing eleven. Rao hasnt caused any problems to any aussie batmen.

First pitch was hard to bat on but on this pitch ball is coming on nicely so expect a big score. And outfield is very fast.

Symonds is a good player of spin, he's the danger man. we need his wicket asap.

Re: Pakistan v Australia, 3rd ODI - Apr. 27, 09 @ Abu Dhabi

Man... the spinners are oding a great job - two very close appeals - could have gone either way - tough luck for the bowlers!
