For your sake, I hope the pitches on your planet are fair to bowlers... and the game is free from all the flat-track bullies with defective techniques, who whinge if there's any ball movement at all.

Yes, on my planet, all pitches are like the Adelaide Oval. Fair for all.

Point being - should have sent them straight back in whilst we had a psychological advantage over them; opportunity lost. FAIL.

McDonald's already indicated Starc will play.

If Swepson stays in the XI, looks like Hazlewood will miss out again.

Wowee... Cummins confirms an unchanged team.

Hope they know what they're doin'... They've bowled a lotta overs...

First test played at the venue since 2009.
55% of matches here have ended in a draw.

Pakistan $3
Aussies $3.10
Draw $2.50

Once again, I doubt we can bowl them out twice. Decent go at the draw again for me.
