    Swanny

    I see he's been finally added to the Cricketer of the Year 'shortlist' of 16 players. Laughable that he wasn't nominated in the first place, the ICC have confessed to 'an oversight'

    He should win it.

      Still a class act.

      Should be an interesting last session today. I just hope that Yousuf has inspired the younger players and they have the confidence to pile on the runs. That or they will completly collapse now.

        Interesting point was made today by a mate of mine. Will the Pakistani batting line up begin to wilt as the day goes on due to Ramadan? English players will have more energy to bowl and bat them about?

        Or will it have no effect what so ever?

          Sportmen are usually given special dispensation from fasting, on the condition that they make up the days missed later. So no, it won't have any effect on them as they won't be fasting at the moment.

            An edge from Cook through the slips in his 20s lucky not to be dismissed. If he gets a score 50+ today it could save his short term future. Regardless of that though there must be serious question marks over his head for his future at this level.

              I'm listening to the commentary on 5Live and I just realised I'm bored of this. Cricket takes too long.

              Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                The Pakistan team would tend to agree.

                  cricket is one of the most boring sports around. they have made progress in making it better with 20/20 cricket but a good way to improve it would be to introduce a shot clock like in premier league snooker where the bowler has only 20 seconds to deliver the ball or be subject to run losses etc . . . . .

                    Yeah, in fact why don't they just play rounders instead

The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

                            That's an excellent question.

                              I like the idea that someone texted in to TMS yesterday.... 20 overs each but no scoreboard.

                              Players would just go all out and then at the end the 2 totals (and the winner) would be revealed.

                                I think players might be able to count. OK, Pietersen probably can't, but surely most of them can.
