ballIn the row of the ball tampering controversy, ODI series between Pakistan and England that seemed doubtful may be underway now. Coming into the first one day international against Pakistan, England are aware that they are the underdogs. After a poor performance in the tests against Pakistan, and a loss in the twenty-twenty game to them, they will really have to work harder if they wish to match the Pakistanis.



The Pakistan cricket team has shown a considerable improvement in their game and the have turned into a destructive side in all forms of the game. The England team may not be in its full strength and may miss some of its stream line players so may be they are not explosive in their approach but still they are a very talented lot.



The one thing that may hamper the moral of the Englishman may be the number of victories that they have achieved recently in the shorter virgin of the game. The ones that they have managed to clinch have not been of the highest caliber these being one against Ireland. Will the Englishman match the Pakistanis in this form of the game, something they have not been able to do in the tests and the twenty-twenty game?
