let's aim for 90 runs in this game

Around 100 would be better.

that should compensate for Midge's wides and no balls, but no more

The way these two sides have been playing, Aus might make 200 and the Wackies fold for 50.

I fear us playing ireland,especially with mcdermo their bowling coach.

Yeah, hope the boys don't start complacent, thinking the Erin boys will be easy. I guess this series in Dubai should guard against that.

are we ranked below them yet?

We're working on it, Nath.

PAK is ranked # 4 in T20s which i assume is well higher than AUS.

Could be a good one, if Sterling can go batshit early on.

Apart from the 2.00 am start (Aus Eastern Time) I think the opening AFL and NRL Finals will be much more worthy of attention.

Heard that Hilfy has been dropped for this game. While i'd be the first to agree he is more a test bowler than a limited over bowler he was far from being the worst in the first game.
And on a wicket that will favour slow bowling, they have also dropped Doherty.

Has Hilditch been reinstated as a selector?

Looks like Hogggggyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! is gonna get a go.

Where is Zim, to idolise his postie hero??

Doing the washing up.

Tragic.

If Piggy George can make a comeback, wtf's stopping TGM???

Apart from Hurley in the bedroom, Poker on Tv and the internet, more money from the mic, etc etc.

Apparently* if we lose tonight we fall behind Ireland on the T20 rankings.

Hilfy, Doherty & Maxwell all dropped. Hogg, Christian (WTF!!) & Starc in.

Revamped side doesnt fill me with a lot of confidence. Strange that when the batsmen fail they start dropping bowlers.

I guess desperate times create desperate measures. Hoggy for X is understandable. I don't think we will get much by Starc replacing Hilfy but Christian has done nothing on this tour so its idiotic to swap him for Maxwell.

Conclusive evidence that Kamran is guilty and evil
