Yeah, Cook tried the same thing and failed

 

You would have thought he'd have learned his lesson when he was nearly caught a couple of overs earlier. The 1st ball I watched when I got up this morning was Strauss losing his wicket, can't argue with that ball.
Shah looked hesitant and not his normal self.

KP to get a ton ?? he should do on that wicket.

 

Oh well wrong again, Pitch + Sarwan = Draw

 

looks that way doesn't it. Admired the decision to ditch personal milestones yesterday and go for the declaration, good bit of captaincy

 

bet the australian papers will be happy tomorrow

 

I didn't see today's play but i heard that England were luckly with some of the umpiring decisions.

 

"Precedent has previously been set with a Test match being abandoned due to a dangerous pitch. Surely it is time for a precedent to be set for having a match abandoned due to a ridiculously safe, humdrum, boring wicket on which a result would never be achieved even for Australia v my local Brownies team."



from the BBC




Sarwan

 

Local Brownie's team, love it

My dad always used to say England couldn't beat "Riddings Infants "B" reserves"

 

I haven't seen

 

COOK'S done it - 100

 

i know wasn't there like 2 officials killed aswell?

 

5 Police dead, 5 players injured as well as one of the coaches .

Like you say B2Zero, who the hell would want to play test cricket in Pakistan, let alone against Pakistan right now, lunatics.......

 

Unbelievable what's happened isn't it. As you say, looks like Pakistan is going to be wiped from the memory of cricket for a few years.... Shame as you won't get many more countries who like their cricket more than Pakistan.

 

Shocking events,can't see any teams wanting to tour that part of world for a while.Feel sorry for the people of Pakistan

 

 

What's going on, doesn't Strauss know he's supposed to lose all form when made captain?

Good on him.

 

Hold on, hold on - whats happening


Dropped off, bored with the dull wicket only to find out that we might actually WIN THIS

 

6 overs left

 

Oh ****

 

Fair play they gave it a go, never expected a result on the final day, always frustrating though eh

Now let's get the **** out of there and get back to the UK for some decent pitches !!

 

disgrace, fancy putting on 240 when Windies were never gonna chase the game. England batted at least 10 overs too many.

 

Oh FFS, I'm going to support the womens team at this rate...... well done them BTW

 

Strauss still going stong as capo though, i'll reserve judgement on the Ashes until after the home series against the W.I. but there seems to be a real lack of concentration from some of the England players at present, they don't appear to be stay in the zone for too long. Needs to be addressed....

 

oh for the love of all things holy...........

Do yourselves a favour, if you don't know the result - don't bother looking it up. Just pretend today doesn't exist....

I blame Bell personally.
