Hahah we have had a month of dry, warm weather and as soon as the game day arrives it pisses it down.
 
Clearing up from what I hear but let's see
 
I never realized that Lee was playing this match. The entertainment factor just went up by a few notches.

And yes y isnt Akram playing?
 
Brian Lara just said on Sky he wishes he was born in England so he could play at Lords every week.
 
ROTW batting first. Who's ready to see Lee bowl?
 
Runners are allowed so Lara doesn't embarrass himself. :))
 
Sold my tickets this morning. Not feeling great and others weren't prepared to go...

It seems like it's going to be an exhibition match so not exactly missing out on much!
 
Haha. If this decision to bat first blows up in Warne's face, I can see Cook returning some favors! The experts agree.
 
Sachin's a great guy off the field. Taking his time to go motivate some children for no personal gain at all. Legend.
 
Is the DRS in use and can the umpires report players for suspect actions?
 
Gilchrist and Sehwag opening. Someone's gonna get a phainty!!
 
Looking forward to watch Gul and Ajmal and of course Afridi.
 
What is Gul doing? I know its a celebration match but don't give him gifts.
 
Come on Gul, crank it up. Sachin being a very friendly captain and that might cost him.
 
So it seems they're TOLD to bowl SLOW... Lee bowling at 70mph, Gul also not going above 73mph..

And Gul making us proud with his poor bowling.
 
Why is Gul bowling 72 mph

Can't humiliate Gilchrist, especially when he's the one with the camera and supposed to bat through. Hope this changes very quickly otherwise this match will turn into a farce.
 
Definitely Cricket is fixed if pacers are being told to bowl slower. What a waste of buying a ticket.
 
Can't fault Gul though. It wouldn't make you look good if you're bowling bouncers at over 85 mph at an old man who retired years ago.
 
I hope no one said to bowl slowly

Finally Brett Lee's speed is touching 80's.
 
Let's see if Tait bowls slow. I doubt they are being told to bowl slow. The way Umar Gul is bowling makes it seem like he doesn't want to be there.

Lara still seems to be fit enough to play international cricket :)
