Oh dear ,we are 61-6 at lunch.Its all down to a good old fashioned England batting collapse.There is no Fred,he was watching Darren Gough dancing at the weekend  . |

Bit of an Ashes hangover.....
We're missing Freddie and Harmison - so some excuse ready to fall back on.
Good lower order batting though (Giles 30, Udal 14, Prior 16*)

Impossible to tell what the pitch is like ... might just be a dirt track .. the true test of how well we did is when we have a bowl .. plus Multan is different to Rawalpindi anyway .. so its just a training session in many ways! :king:

You are right[hopefully] ,but its only a warm up game so i'm not too concerned yet.And at least the players are getting used to Pakistan conditions.I wonder who the Patron is?He sounds a trifle sinister . |

The real cricket excitement today is India v Sri Lanka .. where Dhoni the Indian wickie has scored 130 off 107 balls so far ..13 4s and 7 6s!!! I spent a lot of yesterday watching SA v NZ .. good match .. cricket not involving England I find pleasant to watch  |

Any Ideas how this use of 14 players in the match works? I heard a bit about it and other than the fact that it's a good idea to give everyone a chance to acclimatise I was bewildered by the logisitics.

and he promptly gets out for 50!
Dhoni made 183 off 145 balls .. 15 4s and 10 6s .. amazing! Highest ever score by a wicketkeeper in a one day match .. beating Gilchrist's 173!
India beat Sri Lanka and went 3-0 up in the 7 match series! :-))(

No chance :-))( ,lord knows why but jones's place seems to be secure in spite of his missed stumpings,dropped catches and his ability to get out.Plus it is only a warm up,although i wonder if jones is going to keep wicket ,maybe he's just playing as a batsman  . |

:shock: Why is it a 7 match series?I know the Indians are good at one dayers but thats a bit much. 256-9 at close of play,Tres still in on 124. |

 I noticed that as well,it stopped me in my tracks for a while.I would imagine the cloth he wore on his head would come in quite handy though |
