Let's steer the conversation back to the topic.
Adeel and Rumman - your points are probably more suited to the Australia forum. Alternatively, there is a thread on the Pakistan forum specifically about Pakistan's prospects in Oz, which might be a more appropriate for this interesting discussion. let's keep this thread focused on players and selection, not on how the team will fare - it gets too confusing otherwise for simple souls like me!
In any case, if anyone wants to throw about baseless accusations, labelling the whole Pakistani attack as "chuckers" it would be polite to do so on the Men's Cricket forum.
Ok, back on topic: it seems Shabbir will not make the trip to Australia, latest Woolmer pontifications:

It looks however that Shabbir Ahmed is still suffering from Bone bruising his cartledge has healed but the bone bruising will take longer than we had hoped. |
This is a real blow to Pakistan as Shabbir, with his exceptional height, ability to get unusual bounce and movement was being touted as a key element of the team on the Aussie pitches. Who do they go for now? One option would simply be Shoaib, Sami and Razzaq.
