all sounds very good until you get to the but about bopara being the only other batsman in the squad.

dont have morgan down as a test player full stop.

[M H]

Morgan's a funny one mate as I think he could be a test batter but Bopara shouldn't be anywhere a test place in my opinion. There's far better out there

[Randall]

brought up on a diet of too much 1 day cricket for me.

[M H]

Two different games I agree mate but as much as Morgan's struggling at the moment I think he's a decent innings away. Pretty much the same as Bell at the moment even though Bell had a great 2011. KP's the one I'd be more worried about as he appears to be so far out of touch I can't see where his next run's coming from.

[Randall]

neil fairbrother all over again for me.

that said england always do badly on the sub continent and this team has earned a poor tour without being slaughtered.

[M H]

Fairbrother was an enigma, talented and only did it in the one dayers.

I think they have been slaughtered though. A 10 wicket defeat followed by being bowled out for 70 odd

[Randall]

the press like to build people up to knock them down, this team has been on a pedastal for a while now.

[M H]

It's still a good team mate. Wont dominate like the Windies or the Aussies did but will come close

[Randall]

16 wickets in one day, the pitch is a brute i assume?

[M H]

Looked half decent to be honest mate

[Randall]

anybody with tickets for beyond day three is in for a disappointment.

they stuck with morgan again i see, he failed, again.

[M H]

England would have expected a 200 + first innings lead but will now be lucky to get 100

[Randall]

unless broad wags his tail we will be lucky to get 30.

batting last shouldnt hold that much fear when its looking like being the end of day two!

[M H]

With the English batters being so out of touch they're probably dreading the second innings

[M H]

Darren Gough on Talksport reckons the pitch was good but the batting was woeful as it has been throughout the series.

[Randall]

pakistan effectively 18-2, got to fancy england from here.

[M H]

They need to break this partnership mate as these two are looking pretty settled

[Randall]

get one a glut will likely follow.

around 120-150 to win, doable surely.

[M H]

The way this series has gone I'd take nothing for granted mate
