Not sure about you but seems that every possible person on planet earth has decided to preview the upcoming India v Pakistan game and to be honest, this is getting on my nerves.
Remember 11 players a-side, stats of each, previous form in the last 5,10, 3000 games can be recited by all and sundry.
The pitch colour, route to DSC, traffic conditions enroute, colour of sky in UAE (blue!) is all known.
But there are some unknowns.
1. Menu for lunch in the media room where all esteemed journalists will hang around pretending to look at the screen above the buffet table
2. What music Imam-ul-Haq will be listening to as he gets on the bus to ensure Pakistan get a good start
3. Babar's phone - the effect of Whatsapp messages from Shoaib Akhtar etc
4. Add more...
Fact is that we've been waiting for this for a long time so lets get it over with! All this endless analysis is just getting boring
