No mate. Looks a fascinating trip but being under armed guard (literally, to walk the streets) doesn’t sound like much of a holiday!

Somewhat surprised to hear that. I know a lad that solo travelled Pakistan twice. His latest trip was in June.
Stayed with locals both times he's visited, couldn't have been a more friendly place to him.
He's a pretty adventurous guy mind, went to Iraq and visited Saddam Hussein palace etc. He's only 30/31 got a kid now and still happily off to Pakistan on his own.

This was the second test I think. Maybe Multan. It was 100% a thing though.
The place where the first test was was meant to be ok.

Shame as we've got the champions trophy next year.
Gives concern it's not all going to be played in Pakistan and then it will end up a farcical competition.
As Indian government should not be able to dictate what the ICC decides. I'd hope in that event India are simply excluded from the competition, but that will never happen.

Josh Hull knackered. Another fast bowler they've quickly knacked up. Said this for years now but something isn't right with the England setup with fast bowlers

Knackered up by him playing one game

they have a long history of screwing up fast bowlers, they haven't helped Atkinson either which they are discussing on Sky Sports now
He has also suffered injuries while with Leicester. You’ve only got to look at his record to see how infrequently he has played.

I'm not disputing that but hull has had injuries before and only played one game with England can't blame them on this one

Correct however throwing him into a test match was a silly idea.

Exactly sometimes these things happen it's unfortunate

Leicestershire must have made a mess of his playing plan as he has barely played for them due to injury.
The same with Notts with the two quicks they took of Worcestershire.

Aye the bloke is 6ft 7 at 20 years old making his way into professional sport. He’s going to get injured until his body adjusts, if it ever does.

Agreed, which then throwing him into a test match was ridiculous. As Sky have just said he got injured during the test match.

I just think it's becoming fashionable to blame England for everything
Injuries can happen anytime
