I really want to have you buggers to come back and mock me for my negativity after a resounding win ... but I just can't see it.

Credit to Pakistan here though guys. They have bowled really well and also caught well.
England last night proved you can't just rely on the conditions, you need to get your lines and lengths right. And fuck have they done that
Yup absolutely. I bet they were also fucking stoked when they found out they got to have a bowl first after a rain delay. Jesus H Christ what were we thinking batting first?

@booboo You mean when Trent takes 7-23, and all those throws at the stumps finally hit?
Have faith, dear boy.You need me to go to bed.
We do better when I'm not watching.
But I can't not watch.

The only positive will be if we get reamed and it forces some serious changes
And they would be?
Hint Nicholls for Munro ... ?

My slight concern is that after giving some charmed players chance after chance after chance... their replacements will have to come in cold from recent cricket and perform straight away v India, England, and onward...

Nicholls, Blundell

Sheesh, after that ball tell me we picked Ish?

This is a shit pitch to bat on. Plenty of seam and spin, anything 240 and above will be a tough chase.
Getting to 240 will be a hell of a challenge though. It's all on Kane once again.
-
Ok. Bed time. Thank me around 3am tomorrow.
I hate cricket.

Kane gone, will take a fairly major miracle to win from here. I'm off to bed.
Batting first was a shit decision that just played into Pakistan's strengths.

@mofitzy_ 105 for Pakistan v WI, then 125 by Afghanistan v SA.
Not out. That was super close. 200 would be something. 220 possibly to much to chase on this wicket. But if we make 170 plus I'll be surprised.
When they've shown the ball tracking graphics you can see the Pakistan bowling attack is on point. Accurate and getting a bit of juice out of the conditions. Some of our shitty shot selection has contributed of course.

@Paekakboyz
