Match fixing scandels, teams internal management issues, retirements, un-retirements, bans, changings of captains & coaches, judicial enquiries, jail sentences to players BUT... Despite all controversies, Paksitani team is the most successful ODI team of 2011. Yes, we mostly played against less stronger teams like WI, Zim, BD but beating NZ in NZ, qualifying for WC Semi Final, beating SL and most importantly not loosing any ODI series are the highlights of the year... Few very important and consistant performances by Pakistani Players. In batting: Hafeez, Misbah, Umar Akmal & Younis Khan are so far among top 15 most runs scoring players... Similarly in bowling Afridi, Ajmal, Hafeez and Gul performed consistantly and so far among top 15 ODI wicket takers :two_thumbs_up: Congratulations to Pakistan, Pakistani Team and Pakistani Cricket Fans and Best Wishes for 2012...

Meh,we have the wc for the next 4 years.

[saneindian]

Perfect example of how even a loss against a future WC winning team can lift a team :P Congrats to the Pakistani fans though. Who knows 20 years from now, Misbah will be exhorting pakistanis for a change in system and would be a PM candidate.

:WTF:

PCB has finally got something right. If they can keep organizing matches against Zim, Bang, WI, NZ year after year, they can claim to be the 'most succesful team of the year' every single year.

[carnish]

yup after the WC pakistan has played against zim, srilanka and now bangladesh... true enough... they had to be the most sucessful team

[Asim]

and another very important thing, as we know not a single match been played in home grounds so winning at this ratio away from home :two_thumbs_up:

[bulbul]

and another very important thing' date=' as we know not a single match been played in [b']home grounds so winning at this ratio away from home :two_thumbs_up:

whats UAE then :winky:

[Pagalpanti]

Why don't you play 7 match series 'away' with Netherland, Scotland too? You might be the best team in the history.

[Magneto]

My god, winning against Kenya, Ireland, Canada must have been tough! Unknown players, unknown territory.

[CSK Fan]

Playing against minnows, playing on tracks where even Afridi spins the ball. But having said that, they have come a long way since last year.

Dil dil pakistan

[Karan114]

Why don't you play 7 match series 'away' with Netherland' date=' Scotland too? You might be the best team in the history.[/quote'] Reminds me of that 12 match winning streak they had against Bangla and Zimbabwe back in 2008 which had them anointing Shoaib Malik as a great captain :giggle:

[jairamesh]

and another very important thing' date=' as we know not a single match been played in home grounds so winning at this ratio away from home :two_thumbs_up:[/quote'] umm seeing those stadiums full of men in shalwar qameezs in UAE during the odis was pretty much lahore or rawalpindi, and same for the conditions, the pak team were more home in UAE than pakistan for many obvious reasons.

[panther]

it might be nothing to many fans here but remember we were not one of the top 5 odi teams in the world before the series with sri lanka still i think this team is weak in the batting department some players should not be in the team such as malik, farhat and tanvir

Guys! dont be jelous :--D
