Dilemma: Arsenal in cup final or Pak vs BD warm up?

This was the dilemma I faced yesterday. So I went to Edgbaston to watch BD accumulate 341 on a ground with abnormal boundaries due to the position of the pitch. Then Pak replied with a steady but slower chase, and by 17:00 we needed around 110 off the last 10 overs with most of our recognised batters gone.
I made the executive decision to go home and watch my beloved Arsenal in the cup Final, thoroughly expecting both my teams to fail miserably!
Arsenal won with a clinical performance, and Faheem Ashraf proved to be a revelation, smashing the ball around in the final 8 overs in the company of Hassan Ali to score the final 110 runs needed!
I probably do regret leaving the ground in retrospect, but this is why I love both these mercurial teams.
You never know what they are capable of!!
 
You had a choice between a practice game, and a inconsequential one to boot over that of two of the biggest London clubs, in a derby, at the home of English in a final...and you chose to go to the former?!



:facepalm:
 
It became an easy choice when Pakistan vs Bangladesh wasn't televised lol
 
For me the really difficult choice would have been between watching Arsenal play the final of the FA Cup or an India vs Pakistan game.

If it included going to the actual matches as opposed to watching it on TV, I would have gone to the footie.
 
No question. Obviously FA cup over pointless warm up
