Pakistan v England test series/ODI 2012

Going to be tough I think Greg. Pakistan are on a good run since they swopped a cheat for a proper captain and the empty stadia and flat, slow pitches aren't going to give much change to our pace attack. A lot rests on the batsman having used the long break to recharge and come out all guns and Swanny (and possibly Monty) having a good tour. I'd take 1-0 now.
Nice to have TMS on the jouney to work radio to look forward to!

Important runs from Prior have at least given England hope....
Why Monty isnt playing is beyond me , they have 3 spinners playing and one of them takes 7 in the first innings.
I would of dropped Morgan and played the extra bowler.
Prior can bat 6 and push Broad and Swann up a place simples.

Yep, agreed. Going with 6 batsmen (plus Prior) and only one spinner is madness.

Just seen the score. Doesn't surprise me one bit. Pietersen doesn't need to play in warm-up matches according to his interview yesterday.
mmmmm, less said about this morning the better. 1hr 1/4 to go 20 odd miles (why always on a Tuesday), with Boycott bemoaning lack of this, lack of that etc as the wickets tumbled.
At the least the tail wagged slightly & if we get amongst them tomorrow there's still a chance. Be tough to come back from 0-1.

Very bad day but long way to go in game.
It's a shame that the only major sport at which we are No 1 in the world doesn't seem to merit any sort of terrestrial highlights show. Surely the Beeb or C5 could have picked up a half hour show to be shown at 7'ish using the Pakistan TV feed for not much in the grand scheme of things. Plonk 1 guy in a studio in London to introduce and sign-off - job's a good 'un
Now, back to the snooker...
