I'd leave out Anderson and play the extra spinner.

The thing is, from what ive heard, Loudon isnt ready yet and Udal is past it.

Udal never had it.
Patron's XI require another 95 runs with 6 wickets remaining
Patron's XI RR: 2.74
Just for Slabbs. Game's in the balance. Anything can happen.

Bowlers Ashley Giles and Liam Plunkett put England in sight of a remarkable victory against a Patron's XI in their first match in Pakistan.
The Rawalpindi side had been 50 without loss but slumped to 75-7 needing just 158 to win.
Giles twice took two wickets in an over and Plunkett took two scalps in his first over and one in his third.
Spoony, England are on the verge of victory.

Will this bring back the glory hunters?

No. There's not much glory to be had in defeating the Patron's XI, though I'm very proud of their fightback and believe Trescothick should be knighted for carrying his bat twice.

Patron's XI 88/8. Almost there.
Defeat would've been embarrassing.
They put on 70 for their last wicket in their first innings, so don't be jumping the gun.
True. But if you look at the scores they've progressively got worse. 259, 212, 112. Now 88/8.
Doubt they'll get the runs needed.

Of course they won't, but it's bad luck to celebrate victory prematurely.
bad luck?
if they win, it's nowt to do with me.

If they win it's all your fecking fault.

Alright, I'll blame Amolbhatia100.

Tendulkar's gay.

That's evil.
England win by 52 runs.
The best team in the world proves its mettle.
Morale boosting win after some shite batting, need some time in the middle in the next game as it's our last warm up game.
Gilo looks to be getting some form though.

Gilo should be knighted.
