There's a few of us coming over for Wednesday. What's the early weather forecast looking like?

Pakistan are absolutely di*king the Aussies at Headingley.

Aussies are 41-5 after 17 overs, with only Katich (13) hitting double figures.

73-6 at lunch - reading the text commentary sounds like it's swinging round corners for the quicker bowlers.

Its the more dangerous swinging just enough.

Aus 88 All out
Pak 26 - 0 after 4 overs

Good toss to win that Ponting

You'll get great odds on an Aussie win, it'll be worth a few quid.

When I heard about all those wickets tumbling, I assumed Pakistan had put the Aussies in. Can't believe he chose to bat in those conditions.

Definitely, I remember Pakistan rolling them out for not a lot during the winter and they still conspired to lose it, it's their way!

What was Ponting thinking? Batting first in overcast conditions at Headingley is asking for trouble.

Pakistan really did exploit the bowler friendly conditions well though.

Re: Super Cricket: Pakistan in England : Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:32 pm  

So Pakistan lead by 170 after the first innings - if the Aussies can rustle up anything above 320 I'd back them to win it.
