Thats why Farhat may have decided to score - so that he can be picked for the next series.

This innings may have secured his place not just in the next series but few other one also. After all he is one of the favourite player of the PCB.

It about time he started to score runs considering the number of chances he has been given.

It is funny that a team who talks about beating world champs is so unprofessional that they are not taking this match seriously, knowing that one of Pakistan’s ace bowler is back and England team must prove a point that even in his presence they can thrash Pakistan bowling.

As usual English commentators, fans, players, coach will come up with all kind of excuses, even though they all know that one of the major reasons of their dominance in the first 3 matches was the absence of Pakistan’s real pace attack.

Oh I am sorry, I forgot that it doesn’t really matter if Akhtar and Asif didn’t play the first 3 games. After all Michael Vaughan and Giles were also absent.

Botham and Nasser forgot Strauss and other players statements before this match that they were looking forward to a 3/0 victory in order to carry the momentum into the ODI's and the Ashes.

Guys what would you do?

**16.15 **It's clouded over again, but still dry. Only the central covers remain as a rope goes round the outfield. The umpires are inspecting as we speak

Listening to the online commentary provided by CricBuzz; this commentator keeps repeating Sajid 'Mohammad' instead of what it should be. Before the rain started, one of his statements I was listening to - One Mohammad to another Mohammad - has kept me wondering ever since.

Gerry Woutersz: Was one of the leading allrounders for Sri lanka during the pre test status days. Was a fine right arm off spinner and a hard hitting middle order bat. Has worked for Sri Lanka Rupavahini corporation as well as the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation.
