England v Pakistan, 1st Test, Lord’s, 4th day

Quotehanger

"There used to be a bloke who gave himself out by walking when he'd hit the ball. The popularity of that within his team-mates may be shown by the fact that since his retirement, they no longer reply to any emails, phone calls or text messages."

So then. Pakistan trail by just 119 runs, with Mohammad Yousuf unbeaten on 185…and one Shahid Afridi is also there. Keep an eye on the scorecard, and chat away with any comments. This could go either way.

I love the way the cricket journalists completely rewrite history from day to day when a Test swings all over the place like this.

Ha! You should have been with me at the Amsterdam ground yesterday - there were so many birds and planes, that Blowers would have gone into aviation meltdown and not noticed the cricket at all!

P.S: Good morning!

Oooh, MUCH better bowling this morning. Well done, Hoggard, well done, captain Strauss. Let me repeat what I said yesterday â€” I think Strauss should stay on as captain. I have this feeling about him. And it would free Freddie to be Freddie.

I think the England pace bowlers take turns to shave. Harmy’s turn today.

I agree with Strauss staying on. It frustrates me that Fred is just “assumed” in to the role of captain.

Absolutely, Amy. Freddie’s great qualities better serve the team outside the captaincy, in my view.

I wonder if the selectors are thinking the same, and wondering how they can spin it….

From what I have seen in this series, there could be a lot of drawn tests. No bowler has really made an impact & none look very threatening. It will be a different story when England have to face McGrath, Lee, Clarke Warne and MacGill.

2-0 to Pakistan.
