Pakistan tour thoughts...

Not really. VB is number one down under by quite margin.

And I can see why, I love it!  

Still cant seem to get it in supermarkets yet though.

Ive never tried the stuff.

Part of my leaving present from work (I'm off to Aus in feb) was lots of fosters, I can't wait!?  I think they tend to keep in regional in Autralia, either VB, Carlton Cold or Tooheys are the top brands as far as I know, all lots nicer than Fosters.

People who can grind if they have to, tonk if they have to, but most importantly stay around for days on end no matter what the conditions.

Yep, i agree we need Sir Geoff to teach these players the benefits of playing TEST batting,not the smash and grab way of playing that some of our batsmen have indulged in throughout this tour.It worked during the Ashes but they need to learn that you have to adapt in different situations,and tests last five days not four.

i think are major issue in this tour was one bad day of batting - the 5th day of the 1st Test. It gave Pakistan the momentum and they just ran and ran with it so fair play to them. Had we finished the job in the 1st Test I think we would have been looking at a very different scenario now.

My Aussie mate always says 'Why the fuck do you think we export Fosters to the UK? 'Cos no-one here will fuckin' drink it!'

I'll be at the Melbourne and Sydney Tests next winter

As for Australia's depth - I agree but it isn't that great when they're picking the Test match superstar that is Andrew Symonds

Edit: Also..

The selectors are fucking idiots for not picking Bell for the number 4 spot in the ODIs. He's going to be our best batsman for the next 10 years so why aren't we picking him. I have to laugh at all those who reckoned he should have been dropped after the Ashes, shows how much they know.

We missed Jones, S big time. I think Jones, G is really gonna come good in 2006.

Going on his bowling performances I'd take Blackwell as the second spinner to India. If Jones, S doesn't make it then it's between Blackwell and Anderson for a Test spot IMO.

That is a hard one boeta, but i will say blackwell i guess.
