Indeed - England were the best team in the one day series. Pakistan batted extremely poor in all 4 matches, not enough players fulfilling their potential. I think they got carried away from the test series win.

Anyway let's bring on the T20s. At the start of the series I thought this would be the only format Pakistan had a chance in against England, so I'm not too sad.

Yes l do agree with you on that but just remember what comes round usually comes round on the other foot in the end and England and its shores awaits for your test heroes down the road and l suspect a heavy defeat awaits as well.:)

Well Pakistan are up to their old tricks again as they lose a 5th wicket and are now 77-5.:D

I love 20/20. I wish they were showing both remaining games over the weekend though, as opposed to the 3rd next week.

Did you notice the significant increase in supporters and a much better world cup-esque atmosphere in the ground.

Yep i agree with you about showing the remaining games over the weekend that would have made much more sense IMO.

I certainly noticed the increased number of supporters and atmosphere and i know 20/20 is very popular in the sub continent /middle east as well as at my own county Essex and i do go to matches, we had a double header at chelmsford last year Englands Ladies take on New Zealand ladies and afterwards we watched Essex v Hampshire.

I guess i just prefer a full days play rather then a few hours though.

The 20/20 game has certainly bought increased attendances though.:)

Well Pakistan chasing 151 to win in the second T20 international have started very poorly and are 4-2 already.:)
