This will be such an absolute shellacking. England have already stated that they will let their batsmen loose in this match.

I am glad that's one thing I don't have. Pun not intended

Pakistan on their off day can even lose to Scotland, but on their day can beat any team in the world. Just need to get a few things right and luck going their way. May be a little bit of rain will help. Not aware of weather forecast though.

Also, England on their off day can and do lose to Scotland.

is the 'pakistan are so unpredictable' rhetoric the worst in world cricket?

they are predictably **** at the moment in odi cricket.

nothing like a world cup for lazy stereotypes

pakistan have some good players but just don't have the oomph to get over the line in this game, especially since englands frankly mediocre bowling unit from the past 4 years looks to have been massively improved by archers presence.

which is sad because i was looking forward to england having no answer when their batting inevitably had a poor game.

lol, so true.

I can't remember a worst streak for them. They've now lost 11 matches on the trot (with a 12th being in the middle washed out) and look set to lose this upcoming one. With the exception of a couple among those 12, they haven't even come close to running the opposition close.

If that is not utter predictable ****e, i don't know what is.

Pakistan's inability to host for the last decade is catching up with them. Poor, run down facilities don't help a side get stronger.

Pakistan being woeful is why I don't rate Australia's chances too highly - the recent win streak includes a 5 ODI series against Pakistan.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Pakistan do look pretty ordinary, but I certainly wouldn't put it past them to suddenly pluck a win out of nowhere when nobody is really expecting that. Even leaky tap Wahab will probably have one decent game

 

[tooextracool]

Pretty much this same side won the Champions Trophy two years ago beating England on route so it's not beyond them by any stretch.

So sarfaraz says he won't give any excuses, but it seems like he is giving excuses?

just a variation of the 'i'm not racist but..*insert racist remark*' disclaimer

 

[mr_mister]

Pakistan have no chance in hell

 

[trundler]

Wait and watch. If Pakistan bat first they get 350, England capitulate. If not, Pakistan will probably chase 310 odd.

 

[h_hurricane]

Not sure if this is the worst Pakistan team in their history, but certainly this is their worst bowling unit ever.

 

[Howe_zat]

Yeah it's weird to see a Pakistan side with not much of an attack but a solid top order. Fakar Zaman and Babar Azam woud make most sides in the world.
