Re: The Cricket Thread
Yeh but Pakistan's fielding/catching probably balances it out, if not as costly.

They may win it still. They don't look terribly troubled at the mo.

Re: The Cricket Thread
I am nowhere near as concerned as I might have been 2-3 years ago. At the end of the day there is only one area of our team that is failing here. The middle order simply need to stand up. Bringing in Ravi Bopara for Morgan could be an option. Our bowlers have been excellent still and generally our fielders have been good. Strauss needs to pick up his game, but otherwise I have seen enough from Cook to not show too much concern and Trott will bounce back. Even KP has looked pretty good in this test and was probably a tad unlucky in the first innings. Bell and Morgan though....

He can block like a good 'un, I'll give him that. 
Only 72 runs to find, this could be a major upset!
