I'm loving the Windies latest pick 'Cornwall', at 22 stone the heaviest international cricketer ! He can't move quick can catch a ball unfortunately...

I think Pakistan want to win a lot more than England, they always up their game against us. We just seem happy to see them happy. Nice aren't we ?
