The Sydney scars and the horrors of Hobart.......

This is what happened 10 years ago...

The only way to bury the ghosts of Sydeny2010 and Hobart 99 is to SMASH the Aussies at Hobart and then win the series in England(against AUS) later this year...

anything less will simply NOT be enough

Not gonna happen. Pakistan are a rabble.

To be honest, I reckon Pakistan could do without Yousuf. Never seems to be up for a fight when his team really needs him.

Get Younis back in charge, and build a team of youngsters. How about-

Butt
Shehzad
Younis(c)
Umar
Amin
Afridi (Try and coax him out of test retirement)
Sarfraz+
Aamer
Gul
Kaneria
Asif

We need Yousuf, just take the captaincy off him and let him concentrate on batting.

Butt
Farhat
Younis*
Youhana
Umar
Kamran+
Afridi
Aamer
Gul
Asif
Kaneria

Name is Yousuf, Mohammed Yousuf.

..and yes he is needed for tests.

Pakistan could do a lot worse than to bring in Rana Naved-ul-Hasan. He's already in Hobart & has been a real star for Tasmania in the 20/20 comp.

This Pakistan side got caught in the headlights at the SCG, but there's enough there to suggest that they might be a handful next Summer.

Tim Lane has something to say about this in today's press.

Spanky will be upset.

What odds Haurie doing well again? Will they be calling him "Horrors of Hobart"?

And what odds would you have got 6 months ago about Watson, Hussey and Hauritz being the three star performers after 2 Test v Paksters?

Hope haury does well in hobart then surely they will leave him alone and accept that he is the resident spinner for now cos we don't have much else.

well who would have thought that watto turning out as he has. huss has come good that should leave the naysayers with egg on their face.

a bit harsh that pakistan has dropped kamran after one poor test, least it showed haddin to be a star

Nielsen has guaranteed North's spot for Hobart.

I guess that's fair. A bit rough to change a winning side, albeit one that got out of gaol by the skin of its teeth.
