since 2010 our test and odi teams have gone in complete different directions, 1 really good and 1 really pap, you never know with us but if eng are batting 1st for most of the series I expect a 3-1 defeat if we can bat 1st and set a target I think we can escape with a 2-2

Kaz,

U never know bro as Pak is the most unpredictable team and on their day they can beat anyone. But on the other hand they can mess it up big time. Overall, I think they can give good fight as long as they have the right selection. Folks like professor Hafeez, Lala should be kicked out forever.

Can Butler be included instead of 6 bowling options? Just curious as I think 5 strong bowling attack should be enough as Pak's batting is not strong enough.. Their strength lies in their bowling so you may wanna have strong batting line up!

We want Afridi back say we want Afridi back.

Stokes won't be bowling this game.

Whispers of 3 front line spinners for England.

I'd drop Hafeez and take a risk moving others up the order to fit in the younger all rounders.

1 Sharjeel Khan, 2 Azhar Ali (capt), 3 Babar Azam, 4 Shoaib Malik, 5 Sarfraz Ahmed (wk), 6 Mohammad Nawaz, 7 Imad Wasim, 8 Wahab Riaz, 9 Umar Gul, 10 Yasir Shah, 11 Mohammad Amir

Pak doing decent at the moment..

Hafeez da professor tool..

Pak got spanked quite hard in the first game.. Also rain had mercy on Mighty England

May be a little early in the series, but is Azhar Ali a goner?

Shoaib Malik will now put a brake on the scoring rate

Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field.

I don't think Shah adds anything to the team. He's too easily milked and doesn't contribute much with the bat. I'd rather another all rounder was chosen in his place. Nawaz/Rizwan/anyone.

Have I already said that Azhar should have gone already? Difficult position, crazy shots.
