    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Was just saying in the Brad Haddin thread that today when people on the radio and here (from the looks of it) were slamming the Pakistani tail for folding, I was thinking "At least their top order came to the party"...

    Brad Haddin

    True, but it's a bit unfair slating the number 7 who's lauded for being an aggressive shot maker for that, when the top order has spectacularly failed at the same criteria. Was thinking the same today when people were getting stuck into the Pakistani tail for folding - at least their top 6...

    Weird timing for this thread, given Haddin has been so much improved with the gloves this summer.

    Was a bit hard on him coming in at 8 - was his job to hit out as an aggressive tail ender, or to build an innings?

    If we're talking strictly a middle order player to replace North, the other candidates aren't heaps better than White. He's still only 26, and he'd be a much better future captain than Clarke IMO - he's got great cricketing sense.

    Top individual performances of the decade

    Agreed. Bowling Mitch Johnson to SA in Perth last year. ODIs Batting Maybe Ricky Ponting's century in the preceding WC final in SA.

    Agree one of Hughes or Rogers should be the one to come in if North does get binned - I'd look at making Watson 3 and Punter 5. If we're not going to disrupt the openers, would Cam White be the worst idea in the world?

    Good play by Pakistan on the whole, although they could well regret not knuckling down and putting another 50-100 runs on. Still think this is very much Pakistan's game obviously - Asif would need to be injured first thing tomorrow or one of the batsmen would have to play the innings of their...

    Just had a look out of curiosity, he played both as an opener and a upper-middle order player - opening probably a bit more than a third of the time. As I said, I never knew that - always good learning this little extra bits...

    Didn't think Rowe was an opener... Although there's nothing to stop you pushing him up even if he was a middle order player.

    The Herald Sun has actually now edited that story re Asif.

    Swear I heard some dickheads yelling "no-ball" during Kaneria's brief spell today. Sometimes you despair for cricket in this country...

    Yeah, great article. Samiuddin is one of the best cricket writers going around.

    No-one really brought it up regarding Asif UNTIL he took a 5-fer - at least, not so prominently. Really lame.

    *Official* Pakistan in Australia

    Also forwarded the link to the ABC's MediaWatch program. They'll generally send a "would you care to comment" to the paper's Editor-in-Chief, and put the story on air with a pleasingly withering commentary on the standard of journalism. If others want to as well, their email address is...

    Left a critical comment on the story regarding the reference to drugs and 'broken English'. Has to get through moderation on the site, which I doubt it will.

    Herald-Sun 8-). Such a shockingly bad newspaper. Wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
