Taking them apart.
Excellent stuff
That's the end of Inzis run too...
The pitch has been doing odd things too, Monty & Hoggard have both had balls which bounced about a foot only

119 all out, come on England. 
168-2 at stumps, that's a far better position than we could have hoped for after bowling 1st.
Another 50+ for Cook, he gets better and better

First day, second test and already hoping we can hold on for another draw 
Was it you or Spawn saying that you'd slaughter us over here after the series in Pakistan?e36Adz said:First day, second test and already hoping we can hold on for another draw

Just finished watching the highlights and I'm pretty damn happy with today's events, Harmy was inspired, with some help from Monty, we were on fire.
Let's get 350+ and we should have 3 clear days to finish the match off.

lol, it was definately not me. I wouldn't drop myself in it by making such a comment
In all honesty though, if Pakistan had their bowling trio fit (Akhtar/Naveed/Asif), I would still think that we could win from 119 all out in the first innings. The way it stands though, the team looks very average, and although I can see them doing better in the one dayers, the test matches should be Englands. I just hope Asif is back soon and we shall wait and see what happens
edit: Just to add, I think Harmison was awesome today, I felt sorry for Inzi I dont think there was anything he could do with that delivery really.

Had Akhtar, Rana and that other dude whose name I can't remember had been playing I don't think batting for England would have been as easy but they definitely aren't good enough to slaughter England in England!
England should win this one easily but England doing things the easy way is going against tradition

And if Flintoff, Jones and Giles were playing, we might have bowled them out for 50.

Don't we know it and just to make things worse for me, Arsenal do the same as well.
