Pakistan tour of Australia (Dec 2016 - Jan 2017)

I'm excited and looking to see Amir with the pink ball. It will be interesting to see if he can get alot of movement. But this series will be 2-1 or 2-0 to Aus. They just have a better all-round team than Pakistan. Australia are lions at home.Who knows, Pakistan could surprise maybe. Australia have a much more greater chance.

This series could be the one for ages but much depends on how Pakistan plays in New Zealand. If they beat the kiwis, they will be fancying their chances against the aussies in tests. Trump cards for Pakistan will be Younis in batting and Yasir shah in tests. If pakistan can add a medium fast bowler who can bat, the balance of team will be much better. I hope Hassan Ali would be given a run in tests against windies to see if he can be that guy.

This would be the series We are Looking forward More than Ever! I won't put much expectations from Team Pakistan batting but Australia is also not what they used to be in bowling department specially.

Pakistan also had a very fair chance to defeat Australia in their home soil the last time they toured. Despite having Ponting as a leader they had a very weak test team but Pakistan proved little more weaker that time lol.. Well Let's see this time

Now this is the series we are looking forward. After test series in England, Pakistan need to prove it in Australia as well. But the real challenge will be ODIs!

Since Pakistan are taking steps to improve in ODIs, I don't have much expectations from our One Day team. But lets wait for the series, who knows what will happen.

WTF!

3/4.

Aamir is just awesome!

Against batsmen that are at the start of their FC careers. I wouldn't read too much into it.

In fairness, he did bowl exceptionally well.

Their ages are not real. Have you never heard of Hasan Raza? He was 14 when he made this test debut according to some reports.

Asghar is better than Nawaz though. He performed pretty well in PSL.

He is almost certainly not 17. Although, more importantly, he is a better spinner than Nawaz but Pakistan will lose out with Nawaz's batting ability.
