Wholeheartedly agree, can't see how after losing the test series the players will get themselves up for the lesser series.England can't see how they are going to handle 30 overs of Hafeez, Afridi and Ajmal.
Don't forget Rehman.England can't see how they are going to handle 30 overs of Hafeez, Afridi and Ajmal.
Probably not too likely to play many of the ODIs.Don't forget Rehman.
With the way England are struggling against spin i'd play him and drop a fast bowler.Probably not too likely to play many of the ODIs.
Forty overs of spin might be a bit much though, especially given one day pitches are usually a fair bit flatter in general.With the way England are struggling against spin i'd play him and drop a fast bowler.
You've forgotten how ******** our batting is (i) in ODIs, (ii) in Asia and (iii) against spin. Witness the way we made Sharma, Jadeja, Raina, and whatever other crap was bowling at us in India look effective. If I've got any names wrong there it's because I didn't watch the series.Forty overs of spin might be a bit much though, especially given one day pitches are usually a fair bit flatter in general.
Except that we're only playing 4 ODIs and 3 T20s the latter of which we're not half bad at.You've forgotten how ******** our batting is (i) in ODIs, (ii) in Asia and (iii) against spin.

I expect Pakistan to win 6-0. Wins by 100+ runs count double.
Mate don't get ahead of yourself... we're pretty good at T20.Would be the greatest thing ever if we annihilate England in all the formats. 3-0 Tests, 4-0 ODI's and 3-0 T20.
Well the only ones I'd bring in from the A tour would be Buttler, Kieswetter, Samit and Bairstow. Buck seems to be bowling a lot better than some of the other more recognized names like ****bag and Woakes, so he might be worth a look at.Except that we're only playing 4 ODIs and 3 T20s the latter of which we're not half bad at.
If I'm honest I've got more hopes for us in the One Dayers if we bring in some of the A team which is somewhat strange considering how their tour of Bangladesh went.
Still can always hope for a decent game in the final test. Although if I'm honest I'd settle for a draw at this stage.
