Yeah it's just bizarre. Paine I guess is still nursing his finger (and I suspect it caused him to drop a rather important catch first game), but the others really need gametime. Especially Doug.

If we believe the scorecard. According to Lawrence Booth (the_topspin) on Twitter this is their new tournament tactic. Not sure about the source, of course.

I'm told that there are so many Pakistanis in the team, they generally converse on the field in Urdu. Not a criticism, just notable.

Prior and Broad rescuing England. Partnership 50 up, 208/7. I can get on board with the KP opening experiment if it means Prior can stay down the order.
Good to see Broad and Colly fit. Bresnan coming in for Wright, Bopara for Yardy and we may be able to field a strong side. Batting still looks atrocious but it could still fire.

Interesting but not surprising. Have a look at this :
1) Ashish Bagai - born in Delhi, India
2) Jimmy Hansra - born in Ludhiana, India
3) Rizwan Cheema - born in Pakistan
4) Khurram Chohan - born in Lahore, Pakistan
5) PA Desai - born in Gujarat, India
6) Balaji Rao - born in Chennai, India
7) Harvir Baidwan - born in Chandigarh, India
8) R Gunasekara - born in Sri Lanka
9) Hiral Patel - born in Gujarat, India
Given they have so many players of Indian and Pakistani origin, it isn't surprising that they converse on the field in Urdu.

Happens in most of the associate countries in the lower divisions as well.
Anyways, I don't see it as a problem as long as they developed under that countries own domestic structure.

Yeah, I don't begrudge them for not playing for their country of birth. None of those players would have been able to make the India-Pakistan side anyway.
