Starts Tomorrow. 2.30 Start so it is day/night game. Sky Sports coverage starts at 2.00. Radio 4lw/5 Live sports extra coverage starts at 2.15. Highlights of the game starts at 11.05 on 5. Keep stuart Broad in the side as also Michael Yardy who both performed pretty well yesterday afternoon.

Bit early aren't you?







Damn you Ultra!!!! :x


The only chance we stand is if we win the toss bat first and hope the lights and dew cause mass confusion to the Pakistan batsman or it rains :(

or dem cheatin pakiz be tamperin wit da ball againz

broad for sure, not convinced yardy's good enough - he'll get found out against pace i reckon

its gonna rain anyway isn't it?

In a way, I like the fact that Harmison isn't playing. It's totally annoying watching him fire wides down the leg side.  :x

100% agree with that. There is a little kink in his action his left arm is falling away when he bowls and that how he slants the ball down the legside. Need him fit for the ashes though.

Instead of watching Harmy doing it we'll be watching Mahmood.

The future and hopefully do well tomorrow. He looks about 15.

:) Very true. I just hoping we dont get thrashed!

That isn't Broad is it?Looks like he's got lip-stick on :)
Lets not get too carried away,he's a great prospect but he's still young and still growing.Not to say i don't want him to do well though.

just seen they are planning on bringing in a replacement for harmy. Hoggard  :|  or graham onions of durham  :|  saw him play against somerset..wasn't impressive when i saw him play.

bollocks.

mex you would say that, like someone slating blackwell, i'd say bollocks too.  8) i will say though that yardy has caught my eye several times and has been decent in county cricket for several seasons.

not in one-dayers...

he fits the flecther multi-skilled model though and may grow into a international player like colly did

We'll probably win today and lose the other 4 games.  :mrgreen:

im sure we will lose ... I dont think we care about the one dayers until the world cup is on to be honest

As Yoda would say

"The Pakians seem strong - win they will.  Hope you must not give up, as in the end, prosper, cheaters do not.  Defeated the dark side must be."

brilliant Jan!! :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

lordy we sound fucking awful

NO HOGGARD IN ODIs!!! EVER!!!

Much better in the tests

:| another shocking batting display. only Bell emerges with any credit

yardy best player monday fucking dropped. pricks the lot of them.

boeta yardy has been smashing the ball all over in the c and g and pro 40 so thats shite that he isnt a 1 dayer.

match abandoned due to rain. Day night international cricket in england should not be played. Keep it with county 1 day cricket.

a strike rate in c&g and pro40 this year of 65 isn't exactly smashing it. in fact its fucking dawdling

:beers: we didn't lose

a lucky escape then  :soapy tit wank:

i think so. we lost wickets in the last 10 overs of the game today. Akthar and Asif bowled well for pakistan. Bell and Dalrymple batted well for england. Sajid Mahmood is batting 2 places to high. Gough at 9, Broad at 10 and Mahmood at 11.

Bell wicket was awful...what was he doing!?

it would be better off if we didn't bat and just bowled and then see afterwards if we have conceded less than 100 if we should try and get the runs
