Win Toss, bat first and bat for two days at the Oval. Make their four man attack really suffer...

3-1 should be the aim now.

Great win. Pakistan suffered with 4 bowlers given that Yasir was less effective and Sohail knackered after the first innings. Younus Khan looks like he has never played the game before at present -only Sami made anything reasonable hence the meltdown

Enjoyed that test match, really good contest. Dug ourselves out of a hole a couple of times, relentless and attritional at other times and eventually Pakistan cracked.

The Holies Stand is excellent, second only to Trent Bridge as a whole...

My favourite Test Grounds in order:-

Trent Bridge
Edgabaston
The Oval
Lords (Lords used to first, but is now far too corporate)
Headingly (Been a long since I've been there, may out that right)
Durham
Cardiff

T20 Quarter Final.

Notts V Essex.
We have lost last 4.

20 runs short.

Ryder going like a train.

FFS 5 in a row.
Wife switches over to watch various camp skeletons jump off a diving board in unfeasibly small speedos. I don't protest.
Flick back to Sky to confirm the worst....
Oh Samit, what a wonderful wonderful man!!!!!
Finals day here we come.

Unfortunatley finals day always seems to take place while we are on holiday.

I'm waiting for the year it is held in Cornwall

That is probably a bit of a long wait.

Gloucestershire are going to win it, so you've only missed an expensive and ultimately disappointing day out ;-).

Actually it is a good point, T20 can be almost any point of the year, and it seems to mess the middle of the summer up, when the county game should be sorting itself out.

I hope the weather is better at the Oval than it is here at England's premier Test ground

Bad luck with your prediction WS. Anyone for an all Northern Finals day?

I enjoyed Wood's bowling again last night. No need for knuckle balls and all that bollocks when you can bowl at 93mph. Fearsome.
