England ffs !

[Woodsey]

Tut!

Good bowling though

[TightEnd]

A good pakistan side with one great spinner, Ajmal, that 4 of our top 6 cannot pick and a couple of very good spinners. 4 of the top 7 are out of form anyway


A great tesat match, really

Shocking shot, its always gonna turn out the rough lol

Whoever is at the ground sniping the prices is pretty clueless, wiped it down to only 1.25 after the wicket, obviously market settles at 1.16, so cost themselves a small fortune already

[Dubai]

Ajmal is not a great- he is decent tho and probably very good, the other 2 are surely only average? If they were bowling on flat pitches they would  be serial 35 overs 0/105 men

Completely agree. They're banging on about the quality of the ball, completely ignoring the fact Broad's just got in and shouldn't be playing such a ridiculous shot that early on.

Boycott losing it in TMS and quite rightly.

Game over now.

Tilting to watch how bad it is. My brother going Sri Lanka in March, if its anything like this am glad due date stopped me going with him!

If Monty knocks them off, we should all agree to get Montster tatoos

Am willing to accept the English batsman, even out of form are better than me.

However, against a spinner like Ajmal you can prob take an off stump guard and get down the pitch to him outside the line. I don think his off spinner can spin past you down leg if your anywhere near the pitch of it. LBW should only really be a factor when he's round the wicket

[Dubai]

Yeah they approached it all wrong for sure- the pitch aint even a turner really either. Its just in their heads

[nirvana]

Great couple of years so cant be too hard on them but that was pretty bad.

Well done to Pakistan though, seem a good bunch this lot

[Dubai]

Strauss decision was defo a turning point tho, England were odds on still at that point, I know they were 4 down but defo was a key factor

[Solaris]

Delightful one-hand drive from Prior.  

Fuck me, not one batsmen used their brain in that innings. They need to have a serious rethink on their approach to spin.

Morgan needs to be dropped and Pietersen needs to take a long hard look at his technique. Then again perhaps they all do.

That tour will be so hard. Our seamers are a factor on these pitches, still hear some of the commentators referring to these as sub continent conditions, and the conditions being difficult. Well they're not really at all and we should have expected to win here by a distance I think.  Plenty of history to suggest our seamers in Sri Lanka will struggle quite badly

[Dubai]

Still wish i was going really tho
