Perhaps the only thing more noticeable than England's woeful batting in their first two Test matches against Pakistan last month was the size of the crowds there to witness it.

Success does not consist in never making blunders, but in never making the same one the second time.

Only about 1,000 people - including some 20 Pakistan fans - were in the 25,000-capacity stadium in Dubai when the first game began.

What'd ya expect?  It's Jurassic Age cricket, on the road to extinction.  Even too hot
to enjoy some tomato soap.
