Re: Pak-Eng - 4th ODI (d/n) @ Nottingham - 8 Sep. 06
Yes I REALLY do.
A match is decided by everything that happens over the course of TWO 50 OVERS INNINGS. I have enough confidence in our 'TEAM' as a whole to believe that the sum of our batting+bowling will beat the sum of England's batting+bowling.
Do you somehow believe Asif/Naveed/Akhtar can't defend a modest total? And I say 'modest' total because you have already decided in your mind that it's going to be a modest total. If you ask me, we have enough firepower to believe that if we don't lose too many wickets between now and 35th over, we'll score 260+ regardless! You just should not underestimate Razzaq/Shoaib-Malik/Kamran/Naveed/ShoaibAkhtar ALL going crazy at England in the last 10 overs. You really shouldn't underestimate them, especially because law of averages is in their favor because of their recent performances.
