More like Chris Lewis crossed with Martin McCague.

Good old Lewis McCague.

Three draws, most likely. Played in empty concrete stadiums on flat as f*ck pitches. It will be the worst of test cricket on display.

Outstanding Trevving.

Was the obvious view. I thought and said as much.

In the space of three hours, before the series began...

Well put it this way, I doubt that during this first Test there'll be some chucker bowling a devastatingly chucky spell the rips us up chucky style AND I doubt there'll be some qunt pirouetting on a good spinning length then bowling the ball into that rough to profitable results.

As for this series, I can see this defensive Pak batting line-up blunting our attack on docile pitches. Then remains the question of whether their jazzy bowlers can befuddle our batsmen.

Class will probably out in the end, however.

Oops!

But redeemed by this...

ajmal man of the series. you heard it here first. seems to be the best spinner in the game right now

TBH, not the worst call. Once a spinner can beat either edge of our bats, he suddenly turns into a mysterious super-wizard that we look at in complete mouth-breathing, naive, gushy awe.

So a solid B for Danny in the Nostradamus stakes...

I didn't recognise the chuckiness of young Saeed. I thought the ICC had done their job. So, basically I was right.

Jazzy bowlers f*cked us, then pulled out and spurted it all over our faces.... which totally went against the massive WRONGness of 'class outing' - or maybe it did, but the other way. So, basically I was right.
