England v Pakistan, 1st ODI, Chester-le-Street, Sep 10, 2010

Good win for England and a better effort by Pakistan.

Boparas last couple of overs efforts probably the difference....

Bresnan- Why? Oh why?


Urgh. And Broad really can be a bit thick sometimes, despite what people say. What is smart about bowling short when your third man and fine leg is up in the circle?

Davies is one of the better timers of a cricket ball i've seen in recent times. Think we should stick with him ahead of Bedwetter for a while.

So yeah, well played England.

Did he say that? Joker!

Best part about this match was Athers mentioning pakpassion(he actually said Pakistan passion) while introducing M Irfan.

PP has been by far the best cricket forum for MANY years and i am glad that the site is making a real impact.

Hats off to Saj

He could have f*cked it right up and said Paki passion.....

Dont think any one would have cared much because Athers is a cool guy.

The only English commentator that i dont like is Bob Wills but then again its very hard to see how ANY ONE can like him
