The mighty England return to the test arena on saturday facing Pakistan on their own turf. If there is a test series that comes close to to playing against the aussies in terms of difficulty it has to be these buggers away.
The bad news; The captain Michael( born in Preston) Vaughn is out due to a dicky knee, also Simon Jones misses the test series due to his own dicky condition, ankle.
The good news, Freddy! Freddy! Freddy!
Its got all the makings of a classic tour and I'm taking our lads to sort 'em.
Action and re-action all here, and once again, I don't care if you don't like cricket( jonnymac

You might have known i would reply Neil,looking forward to it and i think our defeat to pakistan A...sets the 3 tests up nicely.Alot of people are already saying are England the real deal and that defeat has one or two journos especially Aussie ones already stating we are a one trick pony and wont win over there........3 nil for me very confident

This current England team have recently won test series in the West Indies and South Africa.I class this Pakistan tour as difficult as those two or at least as difficult as the South Africa tour if we adapt quickly enough i still think we can win 3 nil.The loss of Simon Jones possibly our best reverse swing bowler is huge but add the confidence from the ashes win to the away series wins i have mentioned...........i only see one winner.

After a worrying start which looked as though Pakistan were going to reach over 200 for the loss of one wicket........its now 184-5........Harmison suddenly on fire with two wickets in one over.

I feckin h8t freddy F, but i respect his abilities, which at moment are devasting. I like the fact he was given a standing ovation from the aussie crowd in the recent world series.
Paskitan at home rates very tough, behind only india at home and aus at home. should be a good series. good luck
