England are vulnerable - Woolmer

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer feels England could be vulnerable as they come down from their Ashes high and get back to the day job of playing cricket.

Woolmer, speaking to BBC's Sportsweek programme on Five Live, said: "Mentally I'm wondering 'Can England get up again after such a fantastic effort?'

"That will be a telling point, because sometimes it's very hard when you've been on such a high for a long time.

"England will talk about creating an ethic where they can win all the time."

Woolmer also said that his side, ranked seventh out of 10 Test nations, had every reason to be positive about the home series against England.

"We will be playing a side that's just beaten Australia," said the former Kent and England player.

"It will be a great incentive for us."

Woolmer said the earthquake in the north of the country which had caused such a massive loss of life was "obviously a huge tragedy."

But he added: "The game must go on. The cricketing fraternity are really looking forward to the series. Quite frankly it will help people take their minds off what has been a terrible tragedy."

He hopes to organise a charity golf day involving both sets of players between the Test matches and one-day internationals.

The tour of Pakistan starts today.
 
Yes, but I don't really care for it.

I used the ashes as an excuse to drag some work colleagues down the pub a few times. Got into it a bit, I suppose
 
The pakistani fast bowlers have to perform exceptionally well if they are to have any chance of challenging england.

He maybe is Pakistan's best bowler, he is also very immature.

I cant see England winning the test series
Why?
I know it will be hard, Pakistan usually play well when they are least expected to. IMO a great deal depends on the Pakistan batting, a confident Pakistan side is very dangerous and thats where they are weakest.
