England v Pakistan test series.

It's good to say we didn't lose. I think a year ago, with sky high confidence, we would of scored quicker on Sunday giving us more time to bowl them out instead of being scared to lose and going on for too long.

The bowling without Freddie and Jones looks a bit dodgy. Panasar with a bit of luck could of took a hatfull.

With Freddie coming back, who does he replace? The batsmen all seem in good nick and would it be too risky for him to replace Plunkett and have the extra batsmen?

Whoever he replaces will in all likelihood have scored a century in this game. Old Trafford has always been a spinners delight and possibly Dalrymple could come in at the expense of Plunkett.

Judging by the few overs of off spin bowled by KP he seems quite a tidy spinner and should practice this more

I think he'd be good for the occasional change. Looking at his stats, he hasn't done bad for England:

In ODI's

7 overs bowled - 1 Wicket

In Test Matches

9 overs bowled - 1 Wicket

He has gone for an avergage of about 4 an over, but that's not a disaster.

I went on Saturday. That was my first day at a test. Caught freddie in the gym (i Know it's not clear, the post got in the way, but it is him!!):
