Leeds (England), Sep 13 (AFP): Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi called for the review system to be introduced into one-day internationals but saved his strongest criticism for Mohammad Irfan after another loss to England.
In what turned out to be a tense finish, England won the second one-day international yesterday by four wickets with three balls to spare as they went 2-0 up in their five-match series against Pakistan.
But the result might have been different had not 7ft seamer Irfan, positioned at short fine leg, dropped a glance from Andrew Strauss when the England captain had made just 23.
It was a costly error with Strauss going on to make 126 as England, replying to Pakistan's 294 for eight, finished on 295 for six.
