I imagine it must be nipping about a bit. And the Dakistanis don't much like lateral movement.

Hmmm. I suppose the interesting thing is that the stanis have to go for it, which might mean more chance of wickets. Either way, I'm pleased for Ireland. To have made such a game of it in their first test is very creditable.

Of course, we shouldn't be granting test status to anyone really. The test match arena is already crowded with enough mediocrity.

Shut up, you curmudgeonly English b@stard. After 900 years with your boot on our necks, can't you at least let us have this?
