Sounds of the England v Pakistan game are wafting through the window of the casa next door. This is the first time in no-idea-how-long that TheEye hasn’t bothered watching an international fixture; regardless of format.

But this time why bother? Pakistan is playing, and there are rumours that the series has already been fixed to be a whitewash.

Who knows if is it real?

Back to the laptop and some more wine out on the patio.
