Looks like England are in a winning position after today. Great no.8 batting from Broad and Monty did his thing rather nicely after that. :thumbup:

Yes, Monty seems to be out bowling Swann at the moment, which is a pleasant surprise. I wouldn't want England to be chasing more than 150 in the 4th inns vs Ajmal though :unsure:

I'd be happy with a target in the 200-230 range. (I don't suppose it's going to rain in Abu Dhabi?) |

Of course that'd be nice. But it's not likely (although of course possible) that England can get 6 more wickets for, what, 95 runs.

The forecast is for cloud on Saturday, followed by sun all the way.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
Ok, so 1st test = thumped. 2nd test = choked in SA fashion.
What changes to make for the 3rd test ? Am I correct in the only other batsman we have out there is Ravi Bopara ? Got to be a Morgan out Ravi in, if nothing else to prove to batsmen that their places are not set in stone. Ravi also offers a few overs of military medium to bore the Pakistani batsmen out. IIRC we need to win the last test to preserver #1 status...:unsure: |
Re: The Summer's Cricket.
Seems like Bell recovered from his dicky tummy. NOt sure if Monty or Finn will play. Seems like a bit of an anticlimax but the game starts in about four hours.

Did anyone place a spread bet on the number of LBWs in this series ? |
