So, ahead of facing England in a 4 match test series and one-dayer's Pakistan are, hopefully softening the Aussies up for us before the Ashes, having already taken the T20 series 2-0 last week. They've had a good first day at Lords with the Aussies on 229/9 at close of play, wickets have been shared around and all the bowlers did OK, with the exception of Afridi - the attack looks good on paper but it will be interesting to see how they get on tomorrow once they get into bat. |

Not very well was the answer. What was Afridi doing? When it needed a skipper with a cool head to marshal the tail and get as near to their score as possible, 30 off 15 balls wasn't all that helpful. Still, that's Afridi I suppose. |

So the captaincy has calmed him down a bit! If only they could put the politics aside, the addition of an in-form Younis Khan and Mohammed Yousuf could make such a big difference to that side. |

It's a shame they couldn't get Lords anywhere near full. I know money is tight, but I think they'd have got a few more in charging £20 for the day .... |

Judging by the amount pleas in the local papers for support and emails about tickets I've been getting for the Headingley test I think there will be plenty of empty seats this week too. As well as targetting the "Pakistani community" I think they'd have also attracted a lot more neutrals with better pricing, especially as it is unlikely to go the whole 5 days. |

They were advertising it through my door in Headingley aswell so i assume there is still plenty of tickets available I'd go if i wasn't back at home for the summer. |
