So that's two changes, Haider makes his Test debut - "he can bat a bit" Rameez Raja tells u, though his first class average of 34 does not back that up - in place of calamity Akmal and Saeed Ajmal replaces Danish Kaneria. They look like this: 1 Salman Butt, 2 Imran Farhat, 3 Azhar Ali, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Umar Amin, 6 Umar Akmal, 7 Zulqarnain Haider, 8 Mohammad Amir, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Saeed Ajmal, 11 Mohammad Asif. Pakistan's dressing room leaks like a rusty bucket, so this team news is old news by now, broken on Cricinfo last night. "I'd just like to say that if you look at that building site over there it looks very ugly now, while it is being built, but in a year or two's time it will hopefully be a beautiful building." Athers can hardly keep the smirk off his face, but that is a pretty clear statement from Salman that he is unhappy with Yousuf's recall. In his quick chat with Athers Salman Butt makes an eloquent analogy about the state of his team and the reconstruction work taking place at Edgbaston. The news is that Pakistan have won the toss and chosen to bat first. That's the only way they are ever going to win a Test, as their batting is so poor, but they always have that latent threat. This Pakistan attack will always, always, be capable of bowling any side in the world out for under 200. I'm not sure what makes people so cocksure about their chances. The consensus seems to be that England are going to walk this match. Morning everyone, how's things where are you this sunny Friday morning?
