Australia vs Pakistan 2016: 1st Test - 5 focus areas for Australia

#2 Dealing with Pakistan's seamers

Amir can be a handful in Australian conditions

Mohammad Amir, Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali are the deadly three that the Aussies will face with the pink ball under lights. Amir reduced the CA XI to 0/2 in the first two balls of the innings in the warm-up game.

A prodigious swinger of the cricket ball, Amir had excelled in his previous tour Down Under before he was banned. He will be aware of what awaits him and will be up to the challenge. He has two very good supporting bowlers in Ali and Sohail Khan.

Australia had been exposed by good swing bowling by the Proteas trio of Rabada, Philander and Abbott, and will be wary of Amir and co. when armed with the pink ball.
