England vs Pakistan first test thread

Jones.

2 Wickets now for the cheat, if they get a decent lead we are fecked, even more so now the wickets has been altered by the cheat to enable an already spinning wicket turn even more so.

I don't get why if he's got a ban he's allowed to play on in this match.

Rules I guess.

Never been a red card in cricket. Would be interesting that though.
 
I had a feeling Pieterson was going to get a big score. I should have had a bet on it.
 
I remember that 1-0 series win
It was hilarious, english batted in pitch dark to score 160 odd runs from 40 overs.

Pakistanis kept complaining, still remember a ball going past a fielder right in front of him and he could not see it.

He's gay.

Yes they are.
Hes married and has kids, although his voice is very gay.

No they clearly arent. Australia... then the rest.
 
We've had some decisions go our way today, though. Daryll Hair(or what ever) is a terrible umpire.

Need to get them out before lunch tomorrow to have a chance. Still, chasing anything over 200 won't be easy again. But I'd definitley go for it.

We beat them over 5 Tests.

And outplayed them too.
So did we a few years back and then also once before. Didnt stop them from being the best team in the world and one of the best ever.

You created dodgy wickets though.

The Ashes is the most competitve series in world cricket. They probably all had the shits on their tour of India.

Ashes has been hopelesly shite and one-sided untill this summer.
On the other hand before each of thier last 3 tours to India, Aussies have clamied that winning in India matters most to them, even more than Ashes. The last barrier and all that.....

You cant be serious. The Australians have been consistantly walking all over England for the last decade.. Australian tours of India have generally been the most exciting series in cricket for that same time frame. (except this last ashes).

What was dodgy about them? The fact that they turned..?
 
Shocking display. Best team in the world my arse.

Besides Bell, the others got out to good bowling, credit to the Pakistan bowlers.


Rubbish, for a start Tresco just left one he should have played.

It came back, was a good delivery. He thought it was going straight. I think he was trying to play safe and not nick it.

1 half hours left. First few overs after tea will be crucial.

It wasn't that far way in the first place, the ball was swinging and he just lifts the shoulders and let it hit off stump.

I'd rather see him edge those trying to play it than look like a fool.
