Should be as easy a series win at home in recent times. Pakistan don't have any top class players

didn't really happen last time though

Would agree, so so batting mine up but haven't replaced Mishab and Younis, bowling might go ok but can't see them getting the runs on the board to win a test.

What a load of tosh.
Their bowling will be quite good enough for our batters.

Their bowling line up is potentially good, but no more than that. I’m just not sure they’ll get enough runs on the board for them to bowl at.

Pakistan's bowling is whack. Nothing more nothing less. Amir isn't the bowler he was prior he corrupted himself. Abbas is like a second division county truddler. Shadab is a hyped up second rate spinner. We should pile up 500+ easily against this kind of bowling

Tabloid stuff these posts.

England are not that good, we really aren't. Someone sensible on here pre Ashes posted 'England are just average' I read that back then and thought, hang on that's my team!  He was dead right thou, comfortably beaten in Oz and then outplayed by NZ who just proved in similar conditions to ours, they were the better side.

I don't know what to make of Pakistan we might do well, then again early season they might do well.

To work out if England are a good side,a great side,or just average work out how many players we have that are world class.

It's a pretty short list. England have a huge amount of work to do before we are a decent side I think.

This England team isn’t very good and is very fragile batting wise. However, Pakistan are worse so I’m expecting nothing other than a easy England set of wins.. maybe one collapse by England but they’ll pile up the runs easily enough

Against Ireland Pakistans bowling was pretty average amir look quick at times but how fit is he.
Pakistan played with Plenty of enthusiasm but can they do it on the the big stage
Batting is also mainly unproven.

England playing in the the UK are a different team
still a large amount of work to do but this series will tell us little or nothing
Easy pickings with both bat and ball for England regardless of who is selected

Aren't "second rate leg spinners" England's Achilles heal though??

Any spin, first rate, second rate or lollipop standard is usually an Achilles heal for us... :(

looks like Bess is going to play..... so between Woakes and Wood for the last bowling spot..... personally i hope they go with Wood, i would just like to see a different attack.

Root also talks about him at 3 being long term now he has more experience as captain.

What does wood offer ? Don’t say ‘extra pace’.. he’s not been close to 90 for ages now
