*OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

[Apex Predator]

They lost the 3-match series 1-0, what chance of Zimbabwe even getting a 3-match series now let alone winning one?

Last I remember Misbah's Pakistan lost a test to Zimbabwe in 2013 & drew 1-1

Carse looked very good vs Aus in the ODI series, knew England were gonna pick him

But not as good as Potts who has a far better red ball record.

I wonder if he'd ever had a bet on himself to play Test Cricket???

I am off work the week of second test with no plans and the kids are in nursery for the first two days, can't wait. So good when you can watch a whole day of cricket and then still have an afternoon to do other stuff. Didn't get to properly watch any of this summer so this is well overdue.

So Mrs Pothas hasn't got round to writing your job list for that week just yet?

They held a strategy conference just to select the same guys who have contributed to the decline of Pakistan cricket

I expect a must better outing from Pakistani bowlers this Test.

 

[chris.hinton]

It's going to be tough but we will win this series. I'm very confident

Would depend on your bowlers

 

[centurymaker]

I think England will win 2-1.

 

[FBU]

Wonder who will win the toss and what they will want to do. Last time England won the first two and lost the third.

When was the last time a test match started on Monday?

 

[Hungry Llama]

Surely Pak are under a lot of pressure not to lose and their batters especially, so wouldnt they want a road?

So you think Pakistan would want to bowl first?
