Poms Confounding Expectations

[Dipper]

What do you Aussies think of England's performance so far in Pakistan?We seem to be holding our own after bowling them out for 316 we ended day 3 on 8/280 which included a late collapse(surprise surprise)but over here the press never gave us a chance considering we're effectively playing on turning pitches with one spinner(Salisbury hasn't even looked like getting a wicket)

Dipper the Pohms form has definately improved slowly under Hussain's captaincy. Perhaps it's just stability in the captaincy that has done that.

They do have more confidence and are playing much better than sasy 2 years ago.

The problem in Pakistan is that both teams are playing too negatively. Day 3 on a slow pitch and they have only scored 600 total. They are getting a lot of overs in with all the spin bowling so it's a bit dissappointing. Both teams seemn content to accept a draw.

Just heard a radio score and England have just passed Pakistans first innings total of 316. Very impressed with Giles bowling figures too - 35 overs, 13 maidens, 5 for 75.
