*Official* England in Pakistan (T20, September 2022)

But that won't solve the middle order issues. We need them to go hard batting first and if it doesn't come off, so be it. That's how the middle order will get tested, not by having them open instead. Rauf must've improved a lot. His control for the pace he's bowling at has been unreal lately. Was a total meme last year.
Yes he seems to be coming leaps and bound he's already 29 so not sure how long he can keep this pace but good for him he's come a long way 5 years back was just a domino's delivery boy when he decided to go and try his luck for Lahore qalanders in their open trials

Rauf bowled at 155... Now that's impressive. Top notch effort by Pak bowlers. Naseem Shaheen Rauf... That should be the pace attack come world cup. Dahani as 4th pacer.
Wasim Jnr & Hasnain are unreliable at death.

England should dump Willey for his mythical batting ability. Get Gleeson in.
Wood & Stone both should get to play the Lahore leg. Trundlers ain't winning them this series.

Gleeson has been absolute crap when he's played. England needed a below par score. You shouldn't be relying on your bowlers to win with the bat.

England breaking the gentleman's agreement by playing their full strength attack. And they're chasing too. I doubt today is the day they cross 170.

Well that's nice. Two mediocre scores defended back to back. Would like to have more than 0 middle order batsmen of note though. The inability to play bouncers, even the gentler ones, remains a big, big concern going into the WC down under.

Salt nowhere good enough. nor is willey.We need stokes and butler to be playing to cement middle order.Bonus is Wood bowling fast.Malan is very hit and miss at the moment.New coach yet to win seriesWorrying for me is the fact that Rashid has stopped taking wickets

Willey is a proper buffet bowler to face these days.. What's stopping England to play both Stone & Wood? Also James Vince has to be a better bat than Phil Salt.. Heck one would take Billings over him anyday. Terrible selections & England's white ball slide continues
