Good to see Hopes doing well.

Not surprising to see Ronchi making runs in such a total. Scores very quickly.
RE: the players being kicked out of the academy; lets just say that I don't think that the apartments and those in charge were compatible with 20-odd young men living there.

Pakistan A 8/238 (Iqbal 74, Sarfraz Ahmed 56*, Bollinger 3/9, Hopes 2/21)
Pakistan have done well to progress to 238 considering they were six down for only 130 odd. But it does look like Australia took the foot of the gas and gave the likes of White and Bailey one over two many, both have nearly conceded 100 runs between them whilst MacGill (1/68) has also got some tap from the Pakistani batsman.
Fantastic figures from Bollinger though, 13 overs, eight maidens, three wickets and only nine runs conceded.

13-8-9-3 apparently.
Good effort by bollinger hasn't done his appearances any harm for a test call,maybe he should have been given a contract ahead of gillespie.
Hopes 4 day efforts are good,but more convinced we should call henriques above him for the indian tour with watson in doubt,time for new blood.Will be pissed if hopes gets the call up.
Good game so far hope jaques can put it beyond doubt tonight,he must have the test jersey now.

International Coach
I think Bailey is really looking ordinary and even Cullen looks like a better prospect than him atm, Dougie Bollinger is really doing his best to impress the selectors.
Anyways i don't think Henriques should be going to India ahead of Hopes, first Henriques should prove himself in domestic cricket and cement his place in NSW team.

Moises henriques can be anything.
Its a nothing tour to start,why risk watson.
Hopes is not the future,i doubt his ability to imrove his performances so far at international level.
Moises can learn with the big boys.
It really would not be a shock selection,the aussie selectors made a big call before.
Just see it as an investment to the 2010/11 world cup.

Be fair, he's only 22, and he probably hasn't bowled much worse than the other legspinners in this match. I assume MacGill took his sole wicket from one of his rank longhops.
I havent witnessed one that big during my cricket-watching lifetime. Even when Steve Waugh was thrust into the limelight as a 20 year old he had atleast established himself in the NSW side, its debatable whether New South Wales would even pick Henriques if they had a must-win game tomorrow.
I know he has huge raps on him but I still get the feeling he'd be a fair way out of his depth just atm.

Yeah, but MacGill's just as poor IMO. Don't rate either of them.
HEAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Well Bailey will improve with time. I would have liked to have seen Heal bowling in the one-dayers though. He did well for the AIS in India last month.

Bollinger finished with 5/15 from 14.5 overs, and Australia batted out the rest of day 3. Jaques in amazing touch, made 136. Fair chance that Pakistan will hold out for the draw tomorrow though, Australia are only 327 ahead.
