And the forecast for the opening two days isn't very flash either with regards to skies clearing up. The expectation, or hope, is that Christmas eve and Christmas day got the worst of the showers and that it should clear up come the Test match. But rain delays and breaks seem inevitable on Boxing Day and even a bit on Day 2. The pitch for a change isn't as green as it has been in recent years with only 6 mm grass on it. But there should still be enough for the Australian fast bowlers in particular to get a lot out of, even if the Pakistani batters should find runs easier to come by as compared to Perth. It's been a while since a Test here went to Day 5. The weather forecast, more so than the opposition, looks likely to take us there this time around. Team News Australia Following his match-winning 164 there was no fuss or scrutiny on David Warner, who had a lengthy hit two days out from the Test before spending Christmas with his family. And for once, even Cummins didn't hesitate to reveal the playing XI and it being unchanged from what we saw last week in Perth. Playing XI: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood Pakistan As is the case when things don't go Pakistan's way, they only get worse. And after an impressive debut, Khurram Shahzad has flown back home along with Noman Ali who suffered from acute appendicitis. Abrar Ahmed continues to remain unavailable for selection, which means Sajid Khan could be in line for a recall after having been flown in at the last minute before the first Test. Neutral cricket fans will celebrate the return of the popular Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps in place of veteran Sarfaraz Ahmed. All-rounder Faheem Ashraf has been left out of the 12 that Pakistan have named following his unimpressive outings with bat and ball. The only toss-up for the visitors will be whether to play Sajid as the specialist spinner and pick between Hasan Ali and Mir Hamza, or play both fast bowlers and stick with Agha Salman as the lone spin option. Probable XI: Imam-ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Shan Masood (c), Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Muhammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Hasan Ali, Aamer Jamal, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Mir Hamza/Sajid Khan
