Today's Cricket

We are writing this together in class today.

England are playing Pakistan at cricket in Dubai in a Test match at the Dubai International Stadium.   Pakistan seem to be doing better.   England went out for 192.   Pakistan got 338 in their first innings.

This made Tim think of David and Goliath.   England are the No 1 team in the world, and Pakistan is pretty ordinary at the moment.  But Pakistan is winning because the wicket is better for them.   Just because you are more  likely to win does not mean that you will win.

Harry and Will thought this was a bit like the Jesus story.   Everyone thought Jesus was amazing and he could do anything, but in the end he was killed on a cross.   But he got put in a tomb and then on the third day he rose again from the dead.   Maybe England will be able to come back from the dead and still win this one.
