Ajmal is 34, Rehman is nearing 32. Doubt before Aamir comes back in to cricket - they would be the same bowlers as they are atm.

How fecking good is Afridi?
Such a shame he doesn't play Test Match.

Bopara - has the luck today. Another comical missed stumping by Akmal and a shocking decision by Raza - he was plumb out.
Pakistan have gone with 2 quicks and I doubt if both will complete their full complinment and England have gone with three.

We doing well 134-2. Pitch looks flat. We should get 260 plus.
What an all round player Cook is these days.
Cook's done better than I thought in ODIs since becoming captain.
England should get 280+, will be a tough chase for us.

261 chasing and batting under the lights with Englands seamsers will will not be easy. I am confident we will win by 20-25 runs.
Finn is now fecking good.
Very fecking good.
Finn is one of the new bunch of young fast bowlers - Yadav, Cummins, Pattinson, Marchant de Lange.
Finn was excellent in India and again today.
We will win. Pakistan won't get past 200. Finally Pakistan weak batting has been exposed.

We'll be lucky to get 100. At least Afridi could provide some entertainment.
Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz return and Pakistan collapse -hmmmm
And boom boom's gone. Fun whilst it lasted, comfortable win for England.
Another dropped catch by Akmal. He must be paid!! Lol. I think we should post 270 and batting second Pakistan have no chance as they are a batsmen short. Im hoping for a whitewash in the ODI series. Misbah is too negative a captain to be effective in the short form of the game.
Why couldn't Cook bat like this in the Test series?
Cook wasn't the problem in the Test series, it was everyone else. Is batting like a dream at them moment though.
In a test you can attack more with fieldes around the bat and DRS.
The pitch is flat and dead.
The pitch is flat and dead.
Great ton again by Cook.
Akmal dropped Cook - and Cook punished them.
Just listen to what Nasser is saying about Misbah - he is a negative reactive captain. Just what I said.
The Akmals are awful keepers, well Adnan is alright but he's an awful batsman.
Zulqarnain Haider? The one who played one test and then applied for asylum in the Uk. He seemed quite talented.
The Akmal clan needs to be removed from the Pakistan team for the good of their team as betting issues hag over 2 of the brothers.

Poor death over batting by England.
They were 192/2 in 40 and they only got 250. Should've taken more risks IMO.

My post from way back in 2006.
Genius!
To be fair Cook was always going to do it, averaged 160 in his last year at school!
Solid start from the openers, hope I don't jinx it 
81 needed from 72 balls. A lot wil depend on the current partnership and whether Afridi goes boom or bust.
If I were you ha_rooney, I would stop posting
On another note, this is a cracking match.
Afridi has no brains - a total cluelss cricketer when it comes to a run chase. England to win for sure.
Pakistan bowlers truly are a clueless bunch when it comes to batting - very poor professionalism.
fecks sake Rehman.
hahahah
Why didn't we send in Gul, Rehman is doing nothing.
And gone!
And gone!
So how much has Rehamn bet on himself - this is beyond clueless.
Game over. Clueless batting. Quality catch.
finn on a hat trick - Pakistan collapse guaranteed.
What a catch
