Australia vs Pakistan (Tests and ODIs)

[shaker]

Should @HiltonC149 debut Boxing Day; it will be first time since 1881-82 @CricketAus will field an XI with 3 players born overseas #AUSvPAK - Corbin Middlemas

Overseas XI. It's happening! :P

Shh you can't talk about that, it's only a cause of issue when England do it #hypocrites

Why would we talk about it as an Australian issue before when it hasn't been? Hardly hypocritical

Well you do hear next to nothing about Ussie and co. being foreign-born, especially not negative stuff, but as soon as an England player is found out as foreign-born they are hounded here by media and supporters alike - that's hypocrisy.

Not as bad as the Aussie hypocrisy on batsmen walking tho ;)

You do realise that you are living in Australia ???

Of course the media and especially the supporters are going to take Australia's side in any debate ::) I'm sure it would be the same in the UK.

Agree Rusty anyway who cares about England they are shower this is Australia GO AUSSIES  :P

Should've just switched play over to Etihad, stuff all the logistical stuff.

Or just play somewhere that doesn't rain in the middle of summer, I heard Perth's pretty good for that

I read yesterday that Melbourne might not have the Boxing Day test some time in the future (Say in the next 10 years) if the crowds don't rock up for non-blockbuster tests (Like Sri Lanka, West Indies etc) Replace it with blockbuster BBL matches (Stars vs Renegades) on the 26th instead and move the test elsewhere.

Looks like start of play will be delayed yet again due to rain.

Not too often an opener in the first innings is still batting on day three :P
