Over on Dawn today, Mazher Arshad discusses the true worth of Mohammad Hafeez. He basically says that like Shahid Afridi, Hafeez should realize that he is primarily a bowler and move down the order in ODIs where his 30s and 40s will be more useful. He also talks of his batting averages against stronger teams, in difficult conditions, and during this year, all of which are in the low to mid 20s.

It was a Pakistan vs Australia series in 2009 that was the launch pad for the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The ground was showcased to the world with that series 3 years ago, and its life will come a full circle when it hosts Pakistan and Australia again in a 3 match T20 series starting 5th September.
But before that, Pakistan and Australia take part in a 3 match ODI series that starts in two days in a stadium that is slowly making its way back to the international arena
