England dicked at Twickers - check
Spuds dicked by the goons - check

Has anyone informed you hornetrider, you have a unhealthy obsession with the male member.

Keep up the good work, son

On to matters cricket...........big surprise for me was the absence of any scandals or unsavoury incidents on this tour..........Paksitan one step closer to credibility and acceptance.

The real importance of this tour will become obvious if when SA put the cleaners through NZ 3-0 in their upcoming series

Bumpety bump!

Tea on Day 1 against SL - lost the toss and bowled - SL 168/5.

[Gargamel]

Jaya however is in ominous form, he can't half hit it...

Still second new ball should clean them up.

[Gargamel]

Great ball there from the best bowler in world cricket.

Jimmy A - 3/27 on basically a flat track - fantastic bowling. Makes Steyn look like a one trick pony.....

[DJRC]

Jimmy level with Statham in the All Time England list. On track for reaching the 300s and if he can stay fit ultimately challenging Beefy.

Strauss moves to 110 catches and in the top 5 I think on the Outfielding list.

Something Panesar will struggle to achieve I think

If you'd offered me the score before the start of play I'd have taken it, as would any other. Still happy enough, I jsut hope we don't rue those lost catches.

I wonder how you'll feel about the score at stumps on day 2.

Why is Eng v SL not in its own thread? This is very confusing..

England getting mashed up again by the little brown fellows

Interesting turn of phrase.........

[Gargamel]

Come on Monty, bat for the draw...... only three and a half days to see it out....

[Amirhussain]

Bump....

[dav123a]

Ali to open with Cook ? Jonny B for Buttler ? A few questions still to answer.

[BlackLabel]

Now that the ICC have finally cracked down on chuckers like Ajmal I think England will do reasonably well this time in the UAE. Pakistan do have a very good leggie though (Shah) so it will be interesting to see how England cope with him.
