When reading remember they write on the right as well as drive on the right, inshallah.

I will be getting up at 6 tomorrow morning.

No more wickets to night PLEASE.

Close of play, Day 4

England 46-2 (22 overs)

Cook 17* Root 6*

238 or 8 wickets required for victory from 90 overs tomorrow. All four results are possible. Test match cricket at its finest.

England's best 2 bats at the crease, one of them will need to go big if we are going to win.

Betting odds are normally an extremely good guide to the true likelihood of events occurring.

If you really thought England were 50-1 then you should currently be sitting on a pile of cash.

Glad I don't bother. I can't figure out how that if I bet on England to win at odds of 50-1 and we have neither won or lost yet I could have piles of cash? The actual chance of England winning is remote and certainly hasn't improved given this score.

A good morning session with these two at the crease could make a big hole in the target. Add 100 without losing a wicket would do us well.

A huge crowd watching tomorrow then - maybe 200?

Please PM me a list of your current meds,I have GOT to try some.

 

[BensGrandad]

sorry dont understand.

I really do admire your optimism.

 

[vegster]

sorry dont understand.

You seem to be taking some kind of medication which gives the side effect of extreme optimism and delusions.

There's a fascinating test series just about to start in Brisbane. Think the Kiwis can get some sort of revenge for the World Cup here. The Aussies are missing Clarke and Rogers, with Khawaja having yet another stab at test cricket. The NZ pace attack is pretty impressive too.

The world's most irritating sportsman has already been sounding off about this game and, with a bit of luck, could get a quacker - although, unfortunately, he's got some ability to go with his gob and could equally get a ton. Should be a cracker

Woke up checked the score. Two words; F##king typical.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Around the 300 mark and we have a chance with a good start so as suggested perhaps Cook and Bell to open.

No consideration given to a pitch that is only going to take more and more spin and a poor England side, who can't play spin.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

When was the last time England chased 284 batting last to win a Test? Answers on a scroll please...

Far, far better England teams wouldn't be capable of chasing this down. Some of the posters on here are clearly from the planet Zog.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Very harsh to slate England's performance here. They could easily have won the first test and had Stokes been able to bowl in the second innings here we'd be chasing 50 less. Typical English collapse cost us the second test

The difference between the sides is Pakistan have a quality spinner, we don't. There's not much we can do about that, not sure Ansari would have made much of a difference.

We'll murder them over here in the summer.

Yes...on doctored pitches to suit Anderson and Broad. Put this side on a good pitch and we get murdered ( e.g two Tests v the Aussies ) If we had played on five good pitches this summer we would have lost the series comfortably

 

[Mo Gosfield]

The bookies are seldom wrong. This England batting line-up does have unusual depth and skill against spin.


Says who!!!!!!.........the inmates at the local asylum.

No....Test cricket far from its finest. These are two very ordinary sides and England have more cracks than a whorehouse.

And losing 3 tosses out of three was hardly helpful.

And these pitches don't suit the Pakistani's?

I agree with you though, we are some way behind Australia and South Africa on decent tracks. Perhaps New Zealand as well.
