Australia A in Pakistan

[aussie1st]

Good to see Cullen picking up 3, all the bowlers looked like they were unplayable all going for less than 2.5 an over.

Pak A were clearly looking to bat to the draw and it sort of did work, because they saw off more than one hundred overs and showed some fight all the way down the order. They just had too far to travel.

This is pathetic batting display. Not bad bowling though. Much better than last time. Bring Sami back!

Yep pathetic from both teams. Jaques has got a huge lead on Rogers for that opening test spot now. Good knock from Ronchi very Gilly like and Bailey offered good support.

Bollinger was awesome what a spell of bowling 3 wickets and only 9 runs with 8 overs of maidens out of 13. He has really stepped up this tour and put his name on the selectors list for future Aussie bowlers. Good support from Dizzy and Hopes.

5/15 for Bollinger. Isn't he a one-day specialist or something?

Massive second innings, 2/288 in 60 overs. Another big and quick hundred by Jaques. He's put the runs on in a big way in this tour. Rogers has been excellent, mind you and if selectors have their heart set on either one, there's been little evidence to say why either of them could be a bad choice.

David Hussey has also been a key force and before Aus A attempt to snap up victory with one day left, they might want Hussey, on 69 not out, to lead a quick 5 or 10 over dash for runs before they start bowling.

Not anymore Hope he transfers this form to FC as that is some effort away from home.

Jaques has performed quite a bit better than Rogers on this tour, if they are going with this one Jaques should get the nod. Hussey has been great as usual, good to know we have a very good backup if one of our middle order batters fall to an injury.

Back to earth for our bowlers, Bollinger conceding almost double the runs from his first inns in just the first over. Looks like the spinners will have to play a part.

I had forgotten about this series cause of the Twenty20 World Cup. But I see Australia A has won the Test series with 1-0, so it's a good comeback for them.
