"Don't believe all that you read about Australian's having any say on the behaviour of the pitch"

"The ICC has strict rules about what can be said to the curators and if the Australian Chief Selector spoke to curator than that is not permissible"

"The ICC made a mistake by making a green wicket in the famous Ireland v Pakistan game in Jamaica - that shouldnt have been done and was done to reduce the difference between two teams"

"Australia are afraid of the reverse swing that Pakistan bowlers used during the last 15 overs to win games in the Group stage"

"Our main strength is the ability to reverse swing the ball"

"The practice pitches and the grass and the watering all point to not allowing opportunity for the ball to reverse swing"

"Although it's the way you take care of the ball that will give you reverse swing regardless of the green surface"

"From an Australian point of view they must pick Josh Hazlewood as Pakistan is more susceptible to swing and less worried about pace"

"Pakistani bowlers have shown that they can wreck some good batting lineups"

"Australia have some big hitters such as Warner, Maxwell, Finch etc but Maxwell in my view is the real threat in the final overs"

"This, sadly, could be the last time we see Misbah-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi in Pakistan colours in an ODI game"
