Pakistan have a great attack in all forms of the game but have been let down by their batting far too often. They started the tournament exactly as you'd expect but the low pressure against England gave them a little more confidence there as well and they looked excellent in the final in both aspects.For England losing Woakes and having Roy lose all his form just going into the tournament were 2 massive blows as they both disrupted our shape. On top of that it showed that despite all the improvements we've still got work to do.
When they get it right, Pakistan are a wonderful team and I'm happy they won it. Imagine how we would be if England could not play home tests or ODI's and every game you play is effectively an away game.It's good for Cricket that an unfancied team won a major tournament and for all of their riches, Australia, India and England were at times outclassed.
As good as the tournament was the one thing that stood out for me is that test cricket is infinitely better than the one day stuff.
I agree with him. England should play all their matches at a ground where they have a good record. Edgbaston would be my choice. 😊
I don't know I quite like their team, bit harsh to tarnish them all as cheats.
There's a decent chance Hameed won't make the Test squad this summer. He's having a horrid season.
