Aside from the worring injury though our batting again has been disappointing,which makes me feel a bit concerned for Saturday, especially as at the moment it seems to be the seamers and not the spinners that are doing the damage.what the fuck are we going to do when the spinners come more into the game? Although it is now 148-4(5),struss has made 50,so maybe i'm getting worried a little too soon  . |

Me too Fatbury ,but i'm getting up at 4.00 to watch the build up as well The big man Inzy has been saying how the game in Multan could be effected by adverse weather, its coming up to the winter there. |

We finished on 256-9,England bat well at last  Pakistan A finished on 31-1,chasing 250 odd to win,Hoggy got the wicket,sounds like he's doing well . |

doesnt sound good for Vaughny .. Tresco will be captain I guess - I think we should let Strauss or Freddie have a go tho

yeah bit of a disappointment .. Tresco will be captain if Vaughan isnt fit
So whats your side Larwood?
Id go with
Tresco
Strauss
Prior
Pietersen
Flintoff
Bell
Collingwood
Giles
Udal
Hoggard
Harmison
Prior in for extra batting in absence of Vaughan and two spinners

The way Virgil is batting at the moment i can't see us missing him for his runs  but as captain he is a huge loss ,not sure if he's been ruled out of the tour yet so there is still some hope he may just miss the first test. I like your side ,i think two spinners are the way to go certainly in the absence of the Welsh wizard.But unfortunately i can't see Geraint Jones getting dropped,so i think it will be him keeping wicket instead of Prior [or Tresco ]. |

Yes we've lost ,they were chasing 245 not 254,easy mistake to make  . Replacing Prior for Bell is a good idea,at least Prior has made some runs.Whoever plays its going to be a stern test,i fear it could be a long hard slog for the boys.At least by losing maybe some of the complacency they may be effected with will have gone.Its set the series up as well,hopefully it will be a cracker. |
