pakistan in a terrible terrible position..playing with one bowler short…and gul releasing all the pressure…misbah has no idea..already tried all of his 5 bowlers in first 11 overs…england making a mockery of proposition that it is difficult to bat second in innings…these are excuses that every Pakistani team will have forever…anyway, a lot of thinking for pak think tank after this series how to get the balance right…we need kamran akmal…either bring back razaq or develop hammad into a full-blown all rounder…and we cannot have asad/azhar/misbah in the same ODI team…and we need some new blood for fast bowlers..gul will not take us anywhere…he has not taken one 10-wicket haul in test matches after 10 years…he is fine as a second choice…and that is a maybe…

In a way I am glad that pak will be whitewashed in ODI series as it will expose the strategic deficiencies in the team set up… the test series was entirely won on the back of outstanding performance of two bowlers…the fact remains that pak has not played any cricket outside asia under misbah and this team will miserably fail in SA, england and Aus with such weak batting and fast bowling…

Royal phenti is in progress. I agree, we do need one good strike pacer. As for all rounder, I will support Hammad Azam.
