You pounce on Haddin like a fat kid (who hasn't eaten for 3 days) on a cupcake
Siddles on an extended bad run so his batting spot is up in the air. Would not have put O'Keefe above him on debut tho.

I have seen O'keefe open for NSW in the shorter stuff. Fairly good bat for a no. 10
This is that match that pissed me off about Haddin. Tight game, we were odds on to win and he decided that he need to see continuously throw his bat at swinging balls outside off stump. Its fine being a flashy or positive player and a great talent but he has no idea about game situations.
Go to the 11:25.

This video doesn't show it, but he played and missed about 6 and 7 ball prior.

You still don't get him, and you're not going to.

Disappointing batting performance by the Aussies, Warner excepted. Almost every bat looked comfortable until they got out, even the bowlers.
The pitch isn't playing any tricks, so I think we can still draw the game, but we have a bit of a history of not being able to play out for a day and a half. Other teams seems to be able to do it against us, though. I don't think they'll set us a target we can get. 500 minimum, I'd say, at about tea tomorrow.

It was disappointing alright Jim, especially given Pakistan are missing their best three bowlers. As you said, the pitch is holding up quite fine. Only two players have put their hand up for us thus far in the game. If it starts to break up and spin a bit on the 5th day we could be in some trouble. Even if it doesn't we still might be LOL

Haddin didn't build up credits for his batting in the Ashes. That just got him even for the shit beforehand.
He averages 35 in tests which historically is more than adequate for a keeper. Point the finger at the top six bar Warner if you want to critique Australia's total IMO.
Warner 3 tons in a row in Tests, Aussie record 4.

And a few others. We are presently woeful on sub continent pitches. We are also fragile when the ball reverses and anyone saying different has the blinkers on. Our batting comes off enough at home and on pitches like our own fortunately, but we are as stiff and rigid as a honeymooners member elsewhere. Our two more natural players of spin are both gorn. It's only a popgun attack too.

40 years since a batsman made two tons in a test against us. 66 years since we have successfully chased 400+.

It baffles me though how we can play perfectly good ODI cricket on the same tracks.

I of course understand the different approaches, and yes it is a white ball vs a red ball, but the conditions are fundamentally the same.
For mine, Clarke is the main worry. As the Australians have repeatedly said and done over the years, if you target and get on top of the captain, then you go a long way towards being the dominant team. I don't think there's any doubt that Clarke's fitness struggles are affecting his form and while I'm not advocating he has to be scoring all the runs, he's clearly their main man and when he battles the Aussies do not look the same side.
Khawaja must be cursing the finger injury becuase his domestic form would have put his name right back on the page too I think for the home matches.
Clarke's runs seem to have dried up for now and he's our lynch pin for sure. Totally agree injuries have ravaged his output. Be interesting with Kwaka, i wonder if he's still on the outer a bit as i believe Hughes is despite being there. They seem very reluctant to add him. Doolan should get the next Test but another pair of failures might have him looking over his shoulder. To be fair no-one except Warner has stood up so far and conditions will be vastly different over here and other places.
