Australia (probable): 1 Chris Rogers, 2 David Warner, 3 Alex Doolan, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Steve Smith, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Brad Haddin (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Peter Siddle, 10 Steve O'Keefe, 11 Nathan Lyon
Pakistan (possible): 1. Ahmed Shehzad, 2. Mohammad Hafeez, 3. Azhar Ali, 4. Younis Khan, 5. Misbah-ul-Haq (capt), 6. Asad Shafiq, 7. Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 8. Zulfiqar Babar, 9. Imran Khan, 10. Yasir Shah, 11. Rahat Ali
Australia's only likely adjustment would be to include Ben Hilfenhaus or Mitchell Starc at the expense of Steve O'Keefe, but an unchanged XI appears the favoured scenario.
Pitch and conditions.
Abu Dhabi's pitch appears dry as expected, and though it may not spin quite so much as Dubai's, variable bounce may come into play as the match wears on.
Stats and trivia
Pakistan's last series win over Australia took place in 1994, when a one-wicket victory in Karachi was followed by draws in Rawalpindi and Lahore
Sarfraz Ahmed - who already has the most runs as wicketkeeper in 2014 - needs 84 runs to go past Kamran Akmal as the Pakistan wicketkeeper with most Test runs in a calendar year. He has hit 523 runs this year at an average of 65.37
For a Pakistan victory by a margin of more than one match, one must go back as far as a 3-0 sweep of Kim Hughes' tourists in 1982 _________________ Donny.

Very, very, very frustrating watching both off-spinners going around the wicket as Plan A. Not bloody happy.......... _________________ "I am a great sage, equal of heaven.

Someone needs to attack the pitch with a heavy-duty spade. I've seen freeways that were less perfectly engineered. |

4/517 at tea. Younis 205 not out. Should pack up and go home. Playing on ridiculous pitches like this ruins bowlers' careers. The outs are 35, 45, 109 and 101. Absolutely horrid. |

If Warner hits 300 & Rogers hits 300 then we're a chance. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |
