Re: Cricket
lol... I was in meetings all day and have just come on line.....
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.

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!
