Sorry 93-6 v 3rd String Ingerlund.
Mahmood having fun
Phil Salt at the top of the order, first Welshman to play for England in a good 15+ years?
Don’t think Imad Wasim is playing for Pakistan, otherwise this could’ve been an answer for a bit of a pub quiz question (last time two players born in Wales played against each other in international cricket).
Sadly he’s gone for 7.
Very composed performance by England. Pakistan were a shambles, seemed unable/unwilling to hit 1s and 2s. It was dot, boundary or out. Zaman looked good, then ran his partner out and got caught off a lazy shot.
Great spell by mahmood, he is seriously quick. Malan is all class, brilliant player to watch
Just got back. Hopeless display by Pakistan. Topped off with the most ridiculous review by a wicket keeper ive ever seen
Malan and Crawley different class to the Pakistan batsmen.
Malan should be back in the Test side.
That review by the keeper really amused me. I actually said to my dad, ' there must have been a nick because its happened right in front of him '. He must have had his eyes closed and dreamt it. Totally agree about Malan, his average at test level isn't amazing, but it's also not horrendous for someone's first 15 games. He is so classy and still getting better season by season(despite his age). He has to be in the side, really believe that when it clicks for him at test level he will go on to average 50+Quote:

Mind you, at thirty three, he can only be something of a short term fix even if he did well on his recall.
Malan could still have 4 years left at the top.Quote:

I have doubts about Burns and particularly Sibley. I admire Sibleys mentality and not throwing his wicket play. Clearly has a test batsmans mindset but has such a limited array of shots.
Another disappointment was the obvious conclusion that England have finished with Hales. Morgan clearly wants nothing to do with him. What a waste of a hugely talented limited overs player and a player youd love to watch live.
Currently 185 for 7, innings crumbling.
Will they bat out their overs?
Shouldn't that be England and Wales? :shrug:
Oh no, here we go again :hehe:Quote:
