time for some heroics me thinks phil.

[drummerphil]

cant see it happening mate,we are definately missing Simon Jones reverse swing.We will be lucky if we draw this series how it stands now let alone win it.

[drummerphil]

End of day two and we are getting battered......after a very good two years resulting in the Ashes win,normal service has definately resumed here.

[Judge]

Well it looks as though this will be one sries we wont win.Pakistan well on top and will soon be over 300 with only 4 wickets down.We will be lucky to draw this test at this rate let alone win it.

hope it rains

perhaps that day is today. well its bad light though  , thats a start

[neil]

its very poor, we had a stranglehold on the 1st test and let it slip like amateurs. Freddy should stay off the booze and pietersen needs to stop playing to the gantry and lose the 'peacock' barnet. Ruddy buffoons.

wow i am suprised. Never thought it would be an easy series, but i thought it would be going better for england than it is. That Fat potato (inzie) has found some form.

Looking at you series against India in India next year. That's going to tougher than Pakistan at home for sure. I hope england gains some form at the end of this pakistan series becuase it will good experience for India. I see the India Cricket board is making hard for you guys as well. The distances between matches as well as accomadtion will be unsettling. Not to the mention psychotic crowds.

I would honestly like to see england beat India at home, but i doubt it will happen.

Its very sad to see this continuing decline in the West Indies. West Indies when touring australia used to be the biggest thing beside the ashes, sell out crowds, anticipation, etc. Now its a non-entity, despite the quality they have Gayle, Lara, etc. People can't even be bothered going and the results have explained why. They have been humiliated, again. I hope they sort this out soon.

Cricket is on the decline in the Windies no doubt, most of the young kids over there are playing either Basketball or Football now. Such a shame that they are so mediocre now, whwn you consider the players they've had over the last 2 decades: Lara, Viv Richards, Haynes, Richardson, Walsh, Ambrose, Holding, Marshall, Clive Lloyd, Andy Roberts etc.

that cheatin fecker wants shootin, disgrace. seems our lads are cueing up to lay on the heroics, fantastic stuff from bell and pietersen. i still forcast 2-1 series win. tomorrows the day for freddy, you mark my words.







edited because of offensive word

[babu]

Hey neil i have no coverage of the game except highlights and what i've read. what do you mean by the cheating comment? what happened?

good to see bell and pietersen get runs, bl to freddy.

wait to you see what ganguly does on your india tour. if he is still captian. he has a hundred and one ways of annoying the opposition. he favourite with steve waugh was coming out late for the coin toss. i know it used to drive sw mental.

i reckon eng v ind next year will be the highlight series of the year. i can't wait, not even sure who i'd like to see win.

[neil]

In the comotion that followed the explosion one of their blokes started piroeting on the pitch, he's now banned from playing in the next game. Was'nt the 'offensive word' an abrv of their country's name

[drummerphil]

What gets me Neil,he should have been banned for the rest of this match too.......hes gone on and taken 4 wickets and scored 90 odd runs since.

[neil]

Its just not right phil. Anyway flintoff is 3-39    what did I tells ya.
