Gul rips through England as Pakistan win at The Oval

  A magnificent spell of six for 42 from Umar Gul gave Pakistan an unlikely and memorable 23-run victory
  
  Preamble Hello, good afternoon and welcome. Most people like to start a conversation with a quip or a smart comment, to get off on a good footing, but Ive always preferred, especially on first dates, to dive straight in with a classy cricket statistic or two. So, did you know that England have won more international matches in 2010 than in any previous summer or calendar year? Clearly that is in no small part down to the obese modern schedule, but its still worthy of note and maybe even some celebratory eye contact.
  Yet instead of triumphalism, it has engendered a certain ennui (or Thierry ennui as Bumble calls it), making John Buchanans of all: craving a decent contest and loitering in the corridors of expensive hotels in the small hours (Officer, I was just putting a Sun Tzu transcript under her door). Im not the only one who does that, right?
  Whether we will get a close game today, who knows. With Pakistan assuming the cornered-tiger position if they lose, England have won the series anything is possible. What we do know is that todays match will struggle to match the wonderful, nuanced excitement of yesterdays County Championship denouement. The England and Pakistan players arent the only ones who need to raise their game to match it; so do you and me and the other two people who read this. Yesterdays county blog was absolutely marvellous above and below the line, with 80,000 page views and, at the last look, 944 comments almost all of them off the middle of the bat. I hope youve brought your A game today.
  
  Song du jour Music to follow a spot-fixing scandal by.
  
  Pakistan have won the toss and will bat first. Thats no real jazz for England, who are very comfortable chasing at the moment, although Andrew Strauss says he would have batted. Pakistan replace the circus act with Abdul Razzaq a big improvement to their team while England are without Paul Collingwood, who has a virus, Luke Wright comes in, and that leaves the batting looking a wee bit light.
  England Strauss (c), Davies (wk), Trott, Morgan, Bopara, Yardy, Wright, Bresnan, Swann, Broad, Anderson.
  Pakistan Mohammad Hafeez, Kamran Akmal (wk), Asad Shafiq, Mohammad Yousuf, Umar Akmal, Fawad Alam, Shahid Afridi (c), Abdul Razzaq, Umar Gull, Saeed Ajmal, Shoaib Akhtar.
  
  Tony Soprano says that remember when is the lowest form of conversation. Hes right; thats why we love it. So thanks to Gary Naylor for this remarkable discovery, a sensory overload of nostalgia.
  
  Talking of classic action, while Lord Selvey is en route from the office to The Oval, heres some footage of him facing up to a rampant Michael Holding on this ground 34 years ago. Its nicked from the county blog but it deserves to be seen. Six over midwicket you say? Well, not quite.
  
  Regular readers will probably know of Alex Netherton, whose shopping-list riffs have made some for some fun OBOs down the years. Well Alex is getting married tomorrow to another OBOer, Becca Dealtry, so our warmest congratulations to them. I suppose thats the end of Alexs shopping-list riffs; or, at the very least, those shopping lists will look a bit different. No condoms, for a start. That little game is over now.
  Alex and Becca are also keen on donations for Tim Wooliass imminent run for the Laurie Engel Fund, so please give generously.
  
  Your OBO needs you: a rousing speech from Guy Hornsby I think its more like F-game for me this morning Mr Smyth. I feel I now have some connection with the pain of your subcontinent OBOs from back in the day, having celebrated the finish of the gripping County Championship (poor Somerset) last night by drinking champagne for five hours at our work client party. I woke up on the tube home slumped across two seats at 12.30 this morning, and capped off a triumphant trip home with a visit to Chicken Village, Walthamstows finest. My head feels like a bag of smashed crabs and I want to go to bed, but the arrival of the OBO is soothing my fractured brow.
  You know its been a truly special night when you end up not in KFC, not in McDonalds, not even in a kebab shop, but in the local chicken emporium. Part of me still misses living in Hammersmith; no part of me misses those mezzanine trips to Texa Fried Chicken on Fulham Palace Road.
  
  Pee ess Can we not talking about Fred today? Ive still got the radge about the timing of his announcement. Well always love him, and he was the most interesting English cricketer since RWT Ke Sir Iron Bottom, but that was really poor.
  
  1st over: Pakistan 6-0 (K Akmal 4, Hafeez 0) Kamran Akmal, who looks in good nick at the moment, pushes Bresnans last ball through the covers for four. This could be an extremely good day for batting. I would like to add my congratulations to Mr Netherton, says Richard OHagan. And my commiserations to the soon to be Mrs Netherton. But please, in the name of all sanity, put the condoms back on the list. There are two...
