Adi_91 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 First of all England is not the #1 team in the world. So, why would the question even arise? And I will be highly surprised if England don't win the series. Especially with Anderson back. Link to comment

The ghosts of post 2014 Lords Test win is still fresh. I feel a repeat is highly likely. And also, I don't think England is the team that is high on confidence as a test side, so beating this team won't make a big difference. Link to comment
Bigg Brother Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Obviously they will be regarded as the best team of asia if not of the world..Oversea Series win is dream for subcontinent teams!!! Link to comment

Asim Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Probably already Best Test team from Asia... Can't become Best in World without winning inside Aus and SA... (Although they can't win inside UAE either) psub7262 1 Link to comment

Yes they would have won a test series but its clear that they are not the best.They still need way too many outside factors to win.I can't seem to explain but they just aren't at the moment.They need more dominating wins.Even the last match was 50-50 for most of the game and they just went ahead in the last 2 sessions.

Malcolm Merlyn Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 classic lahori logic When did i become lahori? Link to comment
mishra Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) I have started watching them again since Sydney 2010 where Mohhamd Yusuf, Akmal & co had fixed the match while I was awake late past midnight hoping Pakistan will beat Australia in Australia. It was a game which Pakistan should have won by an inning had it not been a coup by captain and keeper where they set defensive field and popped catches everytime it came to them. This was that suckers face from the game. Top spot is still long way, first they have to earn some respect. Not just Aamir, whole team needs to introspect and try to redeem themselves by winning this series and remaining honest to their profession all their career Edited July 19, 2016 by mishra Link to comment
Iconoclast Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 If Pakistan win this series they will move to #2 in ICC rankings and only a couple of points behind Australia. Link to comment
