Hmmm, as it is warming up and drying up, theoretically Pakistan should get a few runs...but I think you could be in luck with a few wickets.....once one goes, their heads will go.

of course, at the start of the day I always think the opposition will make 600-2. It actually almost happened once, against SA, Two days I watched them 600 odd for 6.....
it was the first time I saw Harmison bow pretty fast.....

Fairly sure I once saw Australia bat 1st against us and stroll off at stumps about 350-0. I can't remember whether they collapsed to 600-2 on day 2 though.....

They're talking about catching on TMS.
here's a couple of mine.
In an inter-class cricket comp at secondary school I was playing as wicket keeper (I could bat and bowl for the school, so I had to do something else). The batsman had a slog at a spiinner, got a big outside edge, I missed it, and the ball hit me square in forehead.
In my head it sounded like an anvil on tom and jerry, stars and all.
Headmaster (ump) walks down the wicket, "are you alright boy?", yes sir, "you could have caught that, play on".
Best catch, dibbly dobbler, batsman smashes it straight, somehow it ended up i my left hand. I think I was trying to get out of the way.

My brother was batting once, with our uncle. Brother had been hit on the toe which was broken and he couldnt run so was trying to score in boundaries.
One straight drive was so well hit, my uncle didnt see it and was knocked unconscious while the fielder at mid off took the catch and then ran my uncle out.

I once caught a massive skier at cow corner. Went for it Aussie style with fingers up, ball burst through my hands, hit me straight between the eyes, bounced up and I caught the rebound with the more traditional method, fingers down.

To clarify - I caught a ball that had been hit very high (or skied), not a massive skier

at this point I think I should pop out for a run and grab us some wickets....
