To build a team for the future, drop the non-performing oldies not youngsters.

They should let the top guns play on top order such as no use of keeping Umar Akmal on late order

Tour Committee to learn something from England, to build a Team for World Cup, give chance to all and rest the Captain as well. England has done it and it is a good opportunity and excuse for Afridi not to play in the next match. If he loves Pakistan Afridi will do it.

A genuine spinner would have been ideal rather than part time innocuous bowlers

With Pakistan's fickle batting, anything above 150 runs can create problem for them.

The always confused Sohail tanveer did "splendid" job in the field and with the bowl as well. Pakistan will lose it due to their own wrong thinking. Why Irfan and Yasir shah are not included in the side?

Fielding lapses 6 instead of a catch another two runs latter both by Tanveer may be the difference ,hope not. Good luck and good hunting in run chase.

The game was already over for him when England scored 151st run. Pakistan can not chase 150 in T20 or 270 in ODI.

Raffatullah has to be told that now he is playing international cricket and the standard of cricket in this arena is high.

What was Anwar ali and sohail maqsood doing in the last over? they couldnt hit a six with two wickets in hands? what can we even say to such players? its a time for forceful resignation of sharyar and waqar!

For The last ball, the batsman needed to keep his nerves. The ball was a kid level bouncer and plum for a six. But our boys can't take pressure like our older teams. The batsman missed the ball itselself. He swung before the ball reached him. Too bad.
