Good news for England Cricket Fans

Well we seem to be fecked again.

I wouldn't back England to get much over 100 in the last innings on those tracks.

Yep 3-0 Pakistan whitewash.

From here it's how long they can bat for, and how vast the margin of defeat is going to be.

When we used to lose 5-0 to West Indies, everyone happily called it a Blackwash. Would that be 'allowed' today? And assuming Pakistan win, could we call the current series a Brownwash?

117-3. I hope that England can still salvage a draw.

BBC Sport - Pakistan v England: Ian Bell passed fit for third Test

Phew - the man that is averaging 8 so far this series is fit to play in the final test.

That should save the series





Oh.

Will someone please explain in words of one syllable, why the **** do we keep playing the cheating terrorist bastards?

For the great-er good.

I cheated a bit there.

Hearts and minds?

Bollocks.

Bollocks.

Eh? Nothing to do with hearts and minds, just keeping test cricket going. You asked a question and I gave you the answer.

Mind you, I do object to the rules of fair bowling being changed/re-interpreted every time a new chucker comes out of the sub-continent.

The bowling rules haven't been re-interpreted, though. They have been consistent for a number of years. The Pakistani spinner (can't remember which one it was) who has a "suspect" action has been investigated by the ICC and they have cleared him against the current rules.

3-0 whitewash. First time England have been whitewashed by Pakistan. Second time in succession that the number one ranked side in the world has been whitewashed.

Pakistan have played well this series, against massive adversity. Fair play to them and they deserve some congratulations on their performance this series.
