Pakistan making us earn it, Rizwan and Shah with a 50 run partnership, bow trial by 56.
Classy innings from Babar and Rizwan has been very good too.

You'd assume "yes" in the test arena, surely he'd be 7th in line at best.

Nathan Lyon now holds the record for most Test runs without a half-century, having passed Waqar Younis.

Former Australia ODI captain and current Tasmania batsman George Bailey is set to become the third member of the national selection panel alongside chairman Trevor Hohns and head coach Justin Langer, adding the contemporary voice that Cricket Australia has been searching for in their deliberations for the national team.

Bailey, who is widely respected in Australian cricket circles, will be a departure from tradition by taking on a selection role while still a player, though numerous cricketers have been selectors either as captain or in the summers immediately after retirement, including Hohns, Peter Taylor and Greg Chappell. It was Chappell's retirement from his role as selector following the Ashes series this year that opened up the place taken by Bailey.

Interesting concept.

Bowlers will be trying just a little bit harder when George comes out to bat .... and I suspect he won't be sledged.

How does Emily Smith cop a suspension for the rest of the season for posting a team line-up on Instagram a couple of hours before kick off but Justin Langer can announced an unchanged line-up a few days out from a test?

I thought the same.
Maybe because Langer is the selector its allowed. Id imagine if say Davey announced the team he would be in the pooh

But they day/night aspect brings them in.

I think it's a shit concept, it favours the team batting first immensely, and everyone that is charged up will be charged up even more by stumps and hitting the city being knobs.

Exactly, only difference is footy going for 2.5 hours, it's still Dickheadville in the city after a twilight footy game on a Saturday night.

Listening to Ricky Ponting last night. Regarding the 16/17 year old for Pakistan, flat out said he will burn out very quickly and be lost to Cricket.

Test cricket is bloody tough but at least at test level he has the worlds best physio's, sports scientists, coaches etc around him. If he was just a very talented 16/17 year old in Australia, he would be playing state under age, school cricket, club cricket, representative cricket with each team burning his talent through bowling from one end all day on pitches/turf/run ups not up to test standard. He wouldn't be surrounded by the quality of staff he now has either.

I guess there is the mental burn out which would be tough to manage.

Is it a bad thing if he plays test cricket from 16-26 compared to an aussie who is more likely to play from 25-35
