England v Pakistan, 1st T20, Cardiff, Sep 5, 2010

After all the recent match-fixing palaver and the fact that it's a cancerous T20, does anyone really GAF?

Will be interested to see how many posts this thread generates. 1 (this one) wouldn't surprise me.

I'll be watching to see how the crowd reacts to the Pak team

Will you be taking your trumpet to the match (if you were going)?

Are you opening a book on the result, Skulls?

Present odds:

England: 1.0

Pakistan: varies between 0.2 and 5000000.0

I'll have £20 on a no-ball on the 4th ball of the 17th over of the England innings. Will you give me 100 to 1?

Geeeeeezzzzz, I'm getting excited about this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Relax, England win. I got the result yesterday.

What odds did you score?

I screwed up. Everyone had the result on Friday

What time does this already result-sorted sh!tfest start?

another 3.5 hrs or so

Ah. Fark that.

It's going to piss down anyway, it's in deepest Walesland in September.... go to bed

Hmmm.... 126 off 20 overs with only 4 down is NOT the sort of scorecard you would be thinking off just coming off of a sh!tstorm

If England lose this there should be a NoW investigation. Although there ought to be an inquiry as to why Akhtar and Razzaq were not in the Test side. The Paksters don't appear to be missing Amir and Asif at all.

England's lowest total in a T20 - 111 against the Saffies at Trent Bridge in June last year.

Morgan and Yardy only 2 short of the England 6th wicket record in T20s of 69* against the Windies at The Oval in June 2007 by Shah and Mascarenhas.

Luke Wright continues to pick up appearance money!

There was a few who didn't deserve their match fee today although with KP waiting in the wings (although I notice he didn't appear to be missed today) and with Kieswetter looking the most vulnerable now Davies has taken over the gloves Wrighty may find himself drafted in as an opener again unless Bopara is moved up a place.

What were the odds on a draw!!

I do note however that no Paksters were game to bowl a no-ball. Just the one wide from Chucktar.

Chucky was getting out of breath on the walk back to his mark!

What were the odds on that?
