After rather extended smart media talk Bangladesh were quickly brushed aside for the stage to be fitly set for Acid Test.
Notwithstanding all the fluff about aussies not good at TT will stand null and void on a fresh day, with learned lessons and a more sharp approach towards the slam bang version of the game. Tame stats can be quoted to point their past vulnerabilities but the fact of the matter is that whilst they were busy handsomely managing their post-superstars exodus period (compared to mid-eighties) they rather loss focus on the latest hottie in town - T20!
However, as professionally brutal as they are, they have finally learned their lessons and in recent times have modeled their strategy around T20 specializers a-la Nannes, Cam. White, David Hussey, David Warner, Steven Smith etc. many of them will never have a notable or no test career but they may well earn their nation the only trophy they are yet to get their hands on..
A grand opening partnership yesterday, 3rd best ever, rather marred few niggles that the Oz would love to exploit. for instance, Ajmal should be used more diligently, running is to be tightened up a notch or three, and one got to find space for Muhammad Asif ahead of Razzaq (tight call) or more appropriately Fawad Alam for a more covered and balanced bowling armory.
Aussies are out to prove and naturally they will come hard. Pakistan needs to grind it out for 240 legal deliveries and may be more, if need be. Greens ought to realize, optimistically I believe they do, that an attack comprising Tait, Nannes, Harris & Watson is more potent in totality then Bangla's quartet of slow southpaws.
whatever may happens, Afridi's men will give it their all is the belief I want to believe..
Go Greens!
