:( He has a rib injury,which he had during the first two ODI's as well.This tour of Pakistan can't end quickly enough for me ,its been pretty disastrous,hopefully nothing else goes wrong.

KP's Nuts!

Sorry, had to get that out :D Anyway, very bad news, been a dreadful tour, just hope it's a bit better in India, but i'm not holding my breath :shake:

Well with three to play, I can thing of at least three things that can go wrong.  True though, get home, no more injuries and then a fresh start out in India.

Bad news about Troy Cooley going back to Aus in the summer to work at the academy though.  He seems to have been vital in recent success IMHO.

KP KO'ed

Agreed - to hell with this tour, we're looking forward to the next Ashes.....

only the rugbyworldcupwinning-esque supporters who just jumped on the Ashes bandwagon.

I see the Aussies are trying to cram 5 tests into the space of 6 weeks. :|

These back to back test matches are getting out of hand.It will effect the quality of the series because the players from both sides are going to be knackered and they will be no time to prepare properly.I agree with Sir Geoff who said the he "hopes the ECB have got the brains not to accept it "
Oh and a message for Johno,if he reads this ,post a thread for the third ODI a.s.a.p, cause  we lost when i posted it on monday :-))( ,hopefully you posting the thread first will give us some luck :)

us without kp and afridi back for pak - we'll need the whole world's supply of luck to get away with a respectable defeat let alone a victory

True :( ,i'm just clutching at straws.
Watching Afridi bat is exciting though,what a player.

was obvious about the injury, could barely hit the ball.

well you can't assume he'll hit a massive total, and he won't everytime. talking about afridi by the way.

Of course I don't want Afridi to score many :) ,i was just thinking that if he does ,at least us losing will be made more exciting by watching him, if of course, as you say he makes many runs.Hopefully Fred gets him for a duck again.

:soapy tit wank: we hope.

anyone up at 6am tomorrow to watch? i am..then off to school at around 8.10.  :(

I finish work at 5am, so i might stay up for a bit to watch. Depends how tired i am.

I'll see,if we win the toss i might.Sir Geoff will wake me up and tell me :)

oh well he wasnt doing that well anyway....

which means with a player of his class that a massive innings was just around the corner

i suppose so but we are not going to win this series anyway so it wont really matter

......on a jet plane, don't know when he'll be back again

but at least it would have made it worth watching

having said that i might get up early and watch it anyway. we'll see

freddie is still there. maybe if they hadn't have stayed up till 1 am they would have won the last game  :-))(

He had his award presented to him at 4am, local time

:-))( im surprised he didnt wear sunglasses when he went out to bat  :D

it was freddie's choice

Exactly, he didnt have to pick the award up.
