1st Test, Australia vs Pakistan, Australia tour of UAE

[Frustrated]

Australia have lost four of their last five Test series in Asia. Can they pull off a surprise without their big batting stars? Think they're now a weak Test side shaken by disputes and disaster? Surely history is replete with a number of such instances where sides have been weakened for reasons apart from injuries? Andrew Miller has collated a list, apart from diving deep into the circumstances that led to those instances.

So this is Australia's XI: 1 Aaron Finch, 2 Usman Khawaja, 3 Shaun Marsh, 4 Mitchell Marsh, 5 Travis Head, 6 Marnus Labuschagne, 7 Tim Paine (capt & wk), 8 Mitchell Starc, 9 Peter Siddle, 10 Jon Holland, 11 Nathan Lyon

Pakistan's XI: 1 Mohammad Hafeez, 2 Imam-ul-Haq, 3 Azhar Ali, 4 Asad Shafiq, 5 Haris Sohail, 6 Babar Azam, 7 Sarfraz Ahmed (capt, wk), 8 Yasir Shah, 9 Bilal Asif, 10 Wahab Riaz, 11 Mohammad Abbas
