What a great last day but good finish by England in the end. Jones and Giles hanged well for 10 overs.

Reminds me of a story about when Atherton accepted Botham's challenge to a drinking contest, the night before a Roses match.dazza76 said:
He was so far gone, that he went out to toss, came back to the Lancashire dressing room, and couldn't remember wether Lancashire were batting or bowling.

Sami should be replaced now with Mohd.Asif, Sami has been given many chances now,just an average bowler 
:
Afridi's place should be replaced by Asim Kamal i think
Malik haven't looked that much impressive as an opener,let's see what changes would be made in the last test
where's Mushtaq Ahmed
just recalled for spectating or for grooming as a younger player

Mohammad Asif has been called into the squad to replace Shabbir Ahmed. This is a good move as Asif caused England all sorts of problems.

Pakistan as you can see are leading the series, while England is struggling. Pakistan won India tour, then West Indies, now hopefuly they will win Englands. Pakistan has improved a lot recently. As you can see Shahid Afridi has greatly improved recently; becoming I think the best allrounder besides Rick Ponting. Inzaman's consistent centuries. I think Pakistan is gonna win the ODI and probably will win the test. Remember Pakistan's strong bowling and rampant batting. Pakistan is a very energetic team who bring excitement to the sport of cricket and brings another prespective of cricket.
Bowling:
Danesh Kaneria (leg spin master with style)
Shahid Afridi (amazing all rounder)
Shabbir Ahmed (amazing bowler)
Rana Naved-ul-Hasan (amazing bowler- king of swing)
Shoaib Akhtar (best entertainer in bowling- king of pace)
Mohammad Sami (brilliant bowler)
Shoaib Malik (amazing allrounder)
Abdul Razzaq (good bowler)
Arshad Khan (good bowler)
Hasan Raza (deveping into a good bowler)
Batting
Inzamam-ul-haq (Overall the most valubale player)
Shahid Afridi (the best entertainer- the sixes king, now a very good batsmen)
Yousif Youhana (amazing batsmen)
Shoaib Malik (Amazing allrounder)
Salman Butt (good batsmen)
Younis Khan (Amazing test player)
Asim Kamal (good batsmen)
Kamran Akmal (amazing wicket keeper, and batsmen)
Abdul Razzaq (amazing allrounder)
> However, England would put up a good fight though:
Treschothick, Pieterson, Vaughan (good batsmen), Strauss, Flintoff (amazing allrounder), and Harmison (good bowler).
This match is going to be really interesting!!!!!!!
> You know what makes me sad is that India has One billion population yet they are not able to produce better cricket than Austrialia, England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, maybe New Zealand. The only good bowler they got is pathan who portray Wasim Akhram(legend).
> However, their batting is pretty strong though: Tendulkar, shewag, dravid and they got kaif who is a amazing feilder. Dravid is old now so its different.
I am talking relative to the top teams in the world. Otherwise, India is a amazing team.

What the flip are you talking about?
India has convincingly outperformed each of those above mentioned teams at different times during the last few years, maybe except Australia.
Population does not have much to do with Cricket.
A fair criticism about India might be that it never really has produced a world dominating team like Steve Waugh's Australia or Lloyd's West Indies.

India is not Australia. Australian Cricket can't be reproduced anywhere else. That's the beauty of it.

England in Pakistan. Why are we discussing about Aus and Ind here??!
Coming to the series, I am confident England will win the last test. They will definately win if they bat first, but will have to work a lot harded if they field first. And though Strauss hasnt been in the best of form in this tour, he will be missed in this final test. He is an excellent batsman and can really get on top of the opposition bowlers. Luckily for Pakistan he hasnt fired yet. Dont expect anything similar during the ODIs though.
Come on ENGLAND!
