Re: The Cricket Thread
I think this pitch has taken everyone by surprise and England have bowled well - although the 2 sixes off the last over were fun.
Ajmal and friends will be rubbing their hands with glee. Should be good tomorrow.

Re: The Cricket Thread
But this game will be decided on how well the England batsmen have regrouped since last week. I would imagine Mushtaq Ahmed would have done a lot of work with the England batsmen in the last week.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I hope he gets his 100th 100 soon just so the press SsTFU about it.
Anyway, he's shit now and should retire.
I have to confess to have forgotten it was on today, that is how the series has gripped me.
The tension is bearable.
The England game looks interestingly poised.

Pakistan will need 300+ to stay in the game, but their chances of seeing 300 are even lower than their chances of seeing Misbah-ul-Haq's second cousin's ankle.

Re: The Cricket Thread
At this rate we will see his hundredth failure to make a hundred hundreds. 
Agreed, but I suspect England will take control today. Will be interesting to see the Pakistani spinners on this pitch, considering what the Poms have done with it.

Gambhir! 4 for 87! Siddle's all over India like the Pakistani cricket team on Misbah-ul-Haq's second cousin!
