Ok well done Finn, well done England. You batted well, slightly helped by Pakistan using up their reviews after 3 overs and some howlers by the umpires. pakistan were never in it batting though.

But let's hold our breaths. Is it a 5 or 3 match series? And isn't the test series what real cricket is all about lol.
Yes Saaf the unpires had a topsy turvy day yesterday alright with some howlers.

Funny old game England were undone by spin,and Pakistan largely by pace the pitches in the UAE seem to take both.

4 ODIs and three 20/20 games in the one day series Pakistan could get their revenge as early as tomorrow.

Test cricket is real cricket but so is the 50 over game as well,the 20/20 is the micky mouse stuff.

I shall be at work tomorrow as the match unfolds but i shall keep up with the score looks like the ODIs might be more competitive for England after the drubbing in the tests but i hate to speak too soon.
