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.

To be honest I love one dayers (50 overs and t20s) as much as I do Test Cricket. I am enjoying Test Cricket more and more because we're seeing results (as opposed to bore draws), and teams actually able to force results more often nowadays. I think each form of the game requires a different skill set, so I'd never seriously favour one over the other in terms of what is real cricket or not.
I love T20. And I think it's actually good for the game in terms of drawing in a new audience.
I think Pakistan will put more of a fight tomorrow - well here's hoping!
