For those with FOX: Pakistan vs England

[Rik E Boy]

Still depressed about losing the Ashes to England? Fear not, Dr REB prescribes tonight's final day coverage of the second test between Pakistan and England as essential remedial viewing.

Pakistan lead by 199 runs with four second innings wickets in hand. Pakistan won the first test after bowling out the Poms for 175 (chasing 190 odd) so England need to win this test in order to win the series. England could be in the position of chasing 220 or so runs in just over two sessions on a 5th day wicket so some good Test cricket is in the kitchen, getting hard baked under the harsh Pakistani sun.

Already in this match...

Inzaman was run out after a bowler hurled the ball at him (incorrectly given out as he was evading the ball).
Afridi has been suspended for two matches as he did his Chubby Checker routine (let's twist again for the benefit of the young and uniformed posters heh heh) on the wicket, to the dismay of Boony's favourte tool.
A gas cylinder exploded, causing mayhem in the stadium with everyone freaking out about terrorists.
Butt was warned for running on the wicket, got upset and was then given out lb by (who else) Daryl Hair
Inzaman plumb lb but not given, perhaps as a square up for the ridiculous run out in the first dig.

As Bill would say IT'S ALL HAPPENING.

regards,

REB

I did hear about the Afridi thing. That was a bloody disgrace. Peiterson was pretty much right to give Afridi a spray about that crap. I would have got stuck into him as well.

Also Danish Kaneria was warned twice in the first innings about running on the pitch after he had bowled by Darrell "the man" Hair.
