Younis’s last Test coming up. He will be shown the door after his inevitable struggles in the one day format. Almost a given he will play now.

Pak’s first 2 games vs former winners, then 2 against minnows, then 2 against teams they have a 100% defeat record against in the tournament.

Who I’ll be supporting at CWC

1)    England

2)    Pakistan

3)    Afghanistan

4)    New Zealand

5)    UAE

6)    West Indies

7)    South Africa

8)    Scotland

If England still had 3 world class players - Trott, KP and Swann – I think their chances would have been rated higher

But still they got to the final of CT13 without KP and Swann in not too dissimilar conditions to what they’ll be getting early next year

Eng beaten twice by SL in QFs, won’t have to face them this time in QFs
