"Leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson will make his long-awaited Test debut against Pakistan on Saturday, with skipper Pat Cummins confirming Australia's XI for the second Test of the three-match series.

With the surface in Karachi expected to aid spin, Cummins announced that Swepson will play his first Test match, with fast bowler Josh Hazlewood the man to miss out."

CA.

Now, Pat, win the toss and bat.

Oz -$2.80
Pak- $2.40
Draw- $3.50

We've played 8 tests at the ground for 5 draws and 3 losses.

44 tests at the venue, Pakistan have won 22, 18 have been drawn, with just 4 wins for the visiting side.
It will be fine with temps in the mid 30's for the duration.

I've gone the draw.
I can't see our bowlers taking 20 wickets on this deck... but I think our batting line up is strong enough to hold them out.
The history of results at the venue is just too compelling to overlook for me.

Warner caught behind for 36. 1/82. Australia bating like it's a 50-over game.
