England's revised squad for PAK ODIs - Ben Stokes (C), Jake Ball, Danny Briggs, Brydon Carse, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Lewis Gregory, Tom Helm, Will Jacks, Dan Lawrence, Saqib Mahmood, Dawid Malan, Craig Overton, Matt Parkinson, David Payne, Phil Salt, John Simpson, James Vince

Looks like Stokes with a bunch of nobodies

Bowling looks too weak tbh..  I feel Batting is not too bad.  If they had added Hales I'd back that team to beat Pakistan.

This saqib is pretty good. He might run Pakistan over if they aren't too careful. 

[Jay]

BTW Pakistanis will claim a moral victory if both saqib and moeen bhai play. 

 

That' equivalent to Indian fans claiming a moral victory over s.africa because amla played for them lmao. 

 

Padosi logic.

It will be pure comedy if nobodies X1 whitewashes the parosi in this series which can happen BTW.

Not whitewash but a close 2-1 win (for England) is definitely on the cards. Even with their whole team missing (barring Stokes) , they have a formidable batting lineup and they're playing at home. 

 

Their bowling looks horrible so poyzz should look to get 320+ on the board and apply squeeze.

Make absolute flat decks so these generation of bashers put up 350+ and thats is something Pakistan side is not build for

Saffers produced belters as well..  Pakistani batters enjoyed true bounce a lot.  Players like Fakhar & Babar relish on these tracks. World Cup game England lost was also on a belter vs Pak. 

Cardiff is a tad slower at times & Babar has had struggle against spin recently & not in best touch.  I think slowish track will suit England here with the kind if bowling they have..  Or the ones they had against Lankans.
