Reaction
Best game of the tour from a fans perspective. A bit too close for comfort for my liking, but we won won and stay unbeaten in ODI's this tour. Batting was shambolic, but we made up for it in the bowling department. Afridi was outstanding, as were Anjum and Razzaq. Came tight as they scored runs down the order, but we did it and now look for a series whitewash!

MotM: Kaneria

Reaction
A good win that was only made hard due to the batting of Trescothick, Strauss and Pietersen which lefrt England 167/2 before their massive, bt-esque, collapse to only manage 222. Kaneria easily the best bowler but Akhtar and Afridi accompanied him well, both getting 2 wickets. It was then the turn of our batsmen and one big score and a few little contributions sent us to get the win, and to make the series 4-0. Inzi batted supremely, notching 86* runs whilst Alam(38), Afridi(35*) and Nisar(33) helped tick the scoreboard along. Only Harmison bowled well as our batsmen totally took it to the bowlers, winning with plenty of overs to spare.

The inclusion of Anjum really payed of treva. Nice work. Thrilling win. Jaz however had a more dominating win so I'd give him this round...not that my views matter .

 

[treva]

Yeh Anjum was a good pick (What I'm really saying: "I'm a tactical genius")

Well your views do count, seeing as they are the only views we get!

 

[PaulNixon1]

I think jaz wins that round because he had a better winning margain.

 

[Jaztheman]
