Which graphics dont you rate? If its the scorecard I kind of like it but TBF 2007 was probably my prime.

Scratch that. The most ridiculous thing is the talking up of Philippe as a test player.

Brett Lee's insightful comment suggesting that if he'd only converted one of his OD domestic fifties into a ton he'd be right in the frame was particularly dire. I hope no-one tells him he hit a ton in the first round of the Shield or he'll start unironically picking him in fantasy Test teams.

is Qadir a potential baggy green?

His numbers in mediocre Pakistan first class circuit are horrible and makes Qadir Sr look like a buffoon for claiming that his son moved Down Under because selectors don't give him chances because they have issues with me.

Not in the immediate future given WA don't seem particularly keen on selecting him in FC cricket. He bowled a heap of crap in his Shield game when he came in as a concussion replacement and then was immediately dropped in favour of picking no less than six fast bowlers without a spinner in sight. It'd obviously be nuts to rule him out entirely given how rapidly leggies can improve but he doesn't seem to be First Class standard to me at this point. To be fair to him he did have a good one day tournament; his wrong'un is pretty good which could serve him well in limited overs cricket.

Unless he improves dramatically we're in desperate trouble if we have to pick him for tests. I suppose he might do a Tahir maybe in ODIs, but I think Pope'll probably be picked before him.

Has anyone got an idea how the new perth deck is supposed to play? Haven’t seen much cricket there at all so far

yeah I believe BBL is more a target for him then baggy green opens up opportunities for him with IPL, CPL, Natwest 20/20 was never a keen FC player even in Pakistan.

It's "supposed" to be more or less a fast road. From what I've seen in the Shield games there it's been a bouncy road that plays the same in the first session on Day 1 as it does in the third on Day 4. In this game it was a slow road that turned a bit, but I'm pretty sure it was a used deck.

EDIT: Apparently this post is totally useless as the Shield games were at the WACA and this game was in Canberra. Ignore me.
EDIT2: This game was still in Canberra, but actually the Shield games I watched were at the new stadium.

Sounds meh. Needs some inconsistent bounce.
