SYDNEY (Reuters) - Opening batsman Aaron Finch knew time was running out on ever wearing the baggy green cap handed out to Australia's test cricketers, but also thought next month's series against Pakistan might be his best chance yet to earn one.

Finch was one of five uncapped test players named last week in Justin Langer's raw side for the two tests in the United Arab Emirates, with the first match starting on Oct. 7.
