Does anyone else think that Monty should be in the starting 11 for England?!
England have a lot to prove & Pakistan will be full of confidence. Can England come back from the 3-0 whitewash & show the rest of the cricketing world that they can be a force in 50 over format or will they succumb to the Pakistani spin, hot weather & one of the Akmal brothers screaming his head off!
I for one am looking forward to the game tomorrow & i'm sure we will all have a lot to talk about. Have a good end to the weekend lads

Agree, Neon we do struggle to chase down decent scores, the WC is a prime example.
However, a lot of people are making out as if this was a easy target to chase, it was not. Firstly, with the new ICC rules in place, a score of 250+ is very competitive now most of the time. On top of that you're chasing under lights, had Pakistan batted first they'd of won... I for one think in this series, win the toss and you're halfway their... Post a total of 240+ and you should win I reckon.

The toss of the coin..............it's amazing how many matches these days are won & lost with the toss of the coin when 2 teams are evenly contested...
