Pakistan drew first blood winning the 1st ODI comfortably. Australia would still be smarting from that defeat and looking to bounce back. They have been playing spin really badly in the last year or so. The lack of a quality spinner in the Australian team means that the Aussie batsmen dont get to practice against top quality spin bowling in the nets. While Shane Warne and Stuart McGill were around the Aussies got the best leg spinners to practise against. Expect Afridi and Ajmal to be more than a handful even in the second ODI.
Teams (probable)
Pakistan 1 Salman Butt, 2 Kamran Akmal (wk), 3 Younis Khan, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Misbah-ul-Haq, 6 Shahid Afridi, 7 Nasir Jamshed, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Shoaib Akhtar, 10 Iftikhar Anjum, 11 Saeed Ajmal.
Australia 1 Michael Clarke (capt), 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Shane Watson, 4 David Hussey, 5 Andrew Symonds, 6 Callum Ferguson, 7 James Hopes, 8 Nathan Hauritz, 9 Stuart Clark, 10 Nathan Bracken, 11 Ben Hilfenhaus.
