They just said on TMS that the main players who played in the T20 World Cup and the Test side are on their third Prime minister since they left the UK.
It just shows how long modern professional cricketers have to be away from home for.
It’s ok if you are young and single, but must be very hard if you are married with kids.

2 more wickets and this test match will crumble into a 100 run chase for england

really - the world T20 world cup was 16th october start, lizz truss entered office 6th September. Did they really leave the UK before then. Nigh on 6wks before the T20 started and didnt they play india in the UK after the T20 world cup??

No, they didn't play India in the UK in October. And they did play a warm up series of T20 matches against Australia before the WC, starting 6th October. They did also have a series in Pakistan in September, but that was a separate squad.

And they did play a home ODI series against New Zealand in September, so it seems unlikely any of the current Test side would have travelled to Australia before that finished.

i couldnt find anywhere on the BBC cricket site about the new zealand one day series......only that test series in june

 

[Alex321]

Ooops. My mistake - I was looking at the ECB website, and that is fixtures for NEXT year (2023). Duh!

And three more wickets for Ahmed. Pakistan 177-6 at tea.

Ahmed is some bowler. This won't be an easy chase when we get to it, but we're not out of it!

Spinners take all 6 wickets so far.

7 now......would be good to see the new lad get a fivefor

Indeed, but if we make a positive start it puts a lot of pressure on the pakistan attack, as they cant set ultra attacking fields if they only have a lowish lead to defend.

that said a clatter of wickets up front puts a lot of pressure on.

I still think we can chase down 200+ though.

nice five for there for rehan.......good 2hrs ahead if england go for it
