Pakistan all out for 198.

 

198 all out. Hales and Cook sprinting off the field.

 

Crazy not to enforce follow on....did we really think Pakistan would bat out 2+ days?

 

some players need a bit of practice

 

England win by 330 runs

 

McManus' limited overs scores this season read: DND (50), 6 (20), 41 (20), 28 (50), 16 (20), 4 (20), 17 (20), 0 (20), 9 (20), 1 (20), 6 (50), 5 (50)

So basically, since that 28, absolute total toilet.

 

Needed that wicket. Tight bowling is all well and good, but you still need wickets to go with it. Getting Wright would have been nicer, of course, but a wicket is a wicket.

Must win game this one.

 

Ta ta Wright.

 

Wright's gone now!....

 

Still big question marks over his ability with the red ball, but in Wheal we appear to have really found someone with the white ball.

If we were to get McLaren back next season (hopefully as a kolpak), then a one-day attack of Wood, Topley, Wheal, McLaren and Dawson (plus maybe Afridi in t20, if he comes back) looks pretty solid.

 

Wot no Will Smith?....

 

Bring McLaren back for two overs now. Get a wicket now - especially if it's Nash - and the game is basically over. Jordan is at least one place too high at no.7. Sussex haven't been able to replace Yardy this season in the allrounder roll.

 

Need a wicket again. Over to you Mac.

 

This is getting very close now!...

 

These two stay in they win.

 

Wheal's two overs will be crucial or will Ervine turn to Andrew?

 

Yeah, Sussex favourites from here. We need Wheal to bowl at the death just as well as he did vs Sussex a couple of weeks ago.

 

Yes!

 

Whew! thank **** for that

 

Needed that!
