Gotta be Monty surely? Imagine he'll take Fletchers job as well at this rate.Gloucefan said:

True, but I imagine as soon as Gilchrist comes in it will be Hoggard and Freddie time with the ball.NZTailender said:

Don't worry it's not all bad, we've still got the ODI's coming up where you'll completely own us, unless some miracle occurs.Fusion said:

Anyway, well played England. I expected Pakistan to put up a tougher fight and they really had a chance today.
Excellent team performance.
My MOM would have to be Strauss. Good captaincy and a ton when the chips were down. If a Pakistan player had played a similar innings on the last day they would have won.
Fair to say England are back to 2nd in the world?

He scored the most runs in the match, and was only dismissed by a wonder ball and Inzi. Strauss' ton was decent, but i wouldn't say he kept it all together, he put on a great partnership with Tresco but then got out at a bad time.

Goes back to the discussions in the "battle of the test innings" thread. Can an innings still be regarded as highly if the batsman's team went on to lose? I said yes, BUT I agree with Goughy, Strauss should have got it, because Pakistan would probably have gone on to win if he had gone out when Trescothick didGoughy said:

Awesome effort by England. I really wanted to see Shoaib, Rana and Asif in this series, but at the same time England were missing Freddy and Simon Jones as well, so both teams were depleted.
At 399-2, Pakistan should never have lost this test, but credit to England, kept the pressure on continously.

I do hate when test matches end early, especially when David Gower mulls over proceedings and keeps referring to Mohammad Asif as Mohammad Sami. No need to talk ******** with Rameez Raja, whose knowledge of Pakistani cricket is sadly lacking, always referring to every cricket as a “one day specialist”.
Do your interviews with the key players, chat briefly about how good everyone is. Than take the program off the air and stick highlights of last nights Speedway (from **** knows where) on!
