Struggling Pakistan vs England Third Test Starts Today : Preview

There were some positive vibes coming for the future of Pakistani Cricket Team after they won the second test match against Australia which were very soon eliminated by the England Team. Pakistan has already lost the first two test matches played against the strong determined England who are also looking favorites for the Ashes this year.

Pakistan bowling attack against Australia was looking eminent however England batmen made that look ordinary as well. The first two matches were wrapped up in four days and have been the one sided affair. There are shocking facts discovered as far as Pakistani batting is concerned which is that Pakistani lower order has batted well than the top order, in fact the fifties scored in this series are by the lower order batsmen wicket keeper Zulqarnain Haider, Saeed Ajmal and Umar Gul. Pakistan would have to do something extra ordinary to pull this match towards their side.

A Ray of hope of Pakistan in the Match is Mohammad Yousuf if he plays this match as it seems he is the only batsman on the Pakistani side who do not want to leave the batting crease and stay there as much as he can and score. Performances from Salman Butt, Shoaib Malik and Imran Farhat has been dismal and have been highly criticized already.

As this match also seem a one sided competition you can never write off Pakistan from any cricketing competition. They always come back and come back strong.

Teams:

England: Alastair Cook, Andrew Strauss(c), Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior(w), Graeme Swann, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Steven Finn, Tim Bresnan

Prediction:

Pakistan can do some wonders with their bowling which is always on the cards and if their bateman stick for a while on the crease, they can make it; however chances are slim as England seems very strong and mark my words (Stronger than Aussies). The obvious prediction here would be England, so we go with it.
