1.40am - 5am for me. lol. I might still change my sleep patterns to watch it.

Otherwise I will save it on my dvd drive and watch it in the morning.

I cant see how you could call it a draw either, as for null and void. Ok fine call a match that is abandoned after a handful of overs void but you cant really say a match that went that long didnt happen can you? Although not a great way to end a match I cant see any other result as valid either.

They're not going to replay the last day and a bit are they

If the match does get overturned then it can really only go down as a draw or null and void. Neither team should be winners of it because neither team bowled the others out twice.

Okay, i'm going slightly off-topic here, but was anyone else impressed with Saj Mahmood's slower ball yesterday? He disguises it very well and he bemused almost every batsman he bowled at with it. The way he got rid of Mushy was fantastic.

still don't want him in the ODI side..economy rate is appauling.

Maybe thats his "surprise delivery" (the one ball per over he aims at the stumps)

 

[evertonfan]

If Rikki Clarke deserves a second chance then Mahmood certainly does; Mahmood bowled excellently yesterday, and he proved that he can control the white ball very well.

I think England will win in the twenty20.

I think England will win the twenty20 because we haven't selected stupid players like Tim Bresnan, although i'd of liked a seperate twenty20 squad with twenty20 specialists like Snape and Ali brown maybe.

 

[evertonfan]

And don't forget Mal Loye Drew!

 

[wolf]

And Darren Maddy deserves a call up.

haha dont forget what Pakistan have...specialist hitters in Afridi, Malik, Razzaq and Akmal..should be a good one.

 

[evertonfan]

Don't forget that Malik is still injured.

I think he is anyway.

Also, Akmal is in some disastarous form but maybe a Twenty20 slogathon can help improve the form of players such as himself and Trescothick.

:

Technically he is such a better bowler now than he was then. If he bowls like he did yesterday he'd be a vital bowler.

 

[irottev]

To be honest. I am not sure England have much chance at winning the Twenty/20.

Theres always a chance, but Pakistan just look stronger on paper in every department aside from fielding.

 

[evertonfan]

Even when Pakistan were injury ravaged, England were still written off for the Test series, so although we are abysmal at ODI's, don't completley write us off until we lose by 10 wickets tomorrow. :

Oh and in Twenty20, we have won the same amount as we have lost.

 

[ali_ed2001]

well England are a good 20/20 team atleast...they did humiliate Australia last year..who would have thought Lewis would pick up like 4-5 wkts that he did ?
