The Australian team appears to have difficulties batting to spin - how do you think they can turn this around?

THEY SHOULD TAKE THE SERVICE OF SHANE WARNE AS COACH AND DO HARD PRACTICE.

The Bucs just got rid of their most overpaid, underachieving player, who would have walked as a free agent after the season anyway. They actually got more than a couple of used bats for the guy, one (Diaz) will eventually be their everyday SS and the other a pitching prospect. Adam LaRoche was slumping badly and was NOT a part of the Pirates future. Even though LaRoche is great defensively, he either hits the occasional HR (usually a solo shot), or ends up striking out or hitting into a DP. All that, plus the Bucs do not have to pay LaRoche the remainder of this years salary (almost $3 million). Advantage = Pirates.

Don't worry Aussies always loose the first match against the Pakis but like always they bounce back stronger than ever. Watson, Hopes and Symonds are in fine touch and none of the Pakistani batsman looked threatening, so this will be an easy series win for the Aussies.

Only Afridi is bowling well, Ajmal was taken for some runs, Afridi won't be a threat anymore.

They played well against spin yesterday and ended up winning by 6 wickets.

the aussies play on bouncy on quick tracks at home. therefore they are not used to spinning tracks.the loss does nt mean they r mucks against spin. they relatively new side and will learn wit time.

they can turn it around by practecing
