Ballance is a walking wicket waiting to happen, hopefully the Pakistanis can roll them quickly

Stayed up and watched it. Great last day.
Riaz warned twice about running on pitch, switched to around the wicket and had the Poms in all sorts, bowling Reverse swing outswingers, it was great to watch.

Did anyone watch Younis Khan bat in this match? He looked like he was batting on a Trampoline he was hopping and jumping that much. Bloody horrible to watch. Reminded me of Courtney Walsh.

Next Test is in Birmingham......who's home game is it???

The Pakistan bowlers really struggled then, but I would say one thing I enjoy about watching Pakistan away from home, even though they get some real floggings is there pace attack. They have some real good genuine quick bowlers, the spell form Riaz in the world cup against the Aussies was increadible. But for some reason they dont embrace this. At home they will have low slow turners and not something to embrace what they are actually rather good at, and thats fast bowling.

Twas a strange feeling stepping off a train into the main train station in Birmingham last year....it was cold and wet yet the people wouldn't look out of place in a sub-continental city. Quality Curry houses though
