So f***ing gutted. Turning point was Afridi's dismissal, should have just calmed the hell down after hammering 10 of 2. Fairplay England, nevertheless gutted...

this was an easy win for pakistan, a winning match lost!
****ing stupid, deserved to get hammered. Why play Rehman when there is already 3 spinners? Why play Younis who is a proven ODI failure? Why drop one of the bright + young talents?

Stupid, too many problems with the ODI team.
Things can only get better. We played a lot better, as long as we win the next two, no harm done.

Poor management bro, had Gul or Ajmal taken up the position Rehman occupied then the game could easily have tilted the other way (Rehman 1 of 12 balls). Nevertheless Misbah fought alone I thought; Farhat looked like he ran himself out on purpose cos' he chickened out of Broad's bowling...

Well played England, once again.
England still have the problem that apart from Bopara and Cook, maybe Prior, nobody seems to be able to bat in these conditions. Cook seems to try and flick every ball through the leg side against spin and almost never blocks, perhaps that is the solution.
Of course I'm not saying Ajmal didn't give Cook a hard time in the test series either. Cook got at least some runs though (94 and a 49).

exactly gul or ajmal should have, at the end of the day, if cook was caught on 28 then the game would have turned big time, Farhat made quite a good score cos he knows he's in for the next game, so i think your right he did ran himself out. Watch, next game he won't do sh*t. Pakistan got 2 days to sort themselves out. Hope someone tells them their fielding is
stfu! you were lucky, if cook was caught on 28 mate, england would have lost big time. It wasn't that england played so good, it was our fielding, batting and stupid decisions. We could hqve won easily, which makes me so gutted.

Aww it's okay babez You only had 20 runs as well! Pakistan, should of done them in the last second, but they didn't!
So pakistan played bad basically, and we played average.
You were soo close, and yet so far. Don't be angry man, just breathe in and out, end of the day the better team won.

I agree, without Cook, Englands innings aren't great. So Pakistan should hope to get him out early in the next two matches.
