Cricketics Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 It took you guys 30 years to win in a place like NZ. Now that sounds much more comical than 13th and 14th Test victory by logically the best team ever. :winky: Na. It doesn't. India hardly tour NZ. to win a series there. Atleast whenever we used to meet them elsewhere or at home, we used to milk NZ or for that matter any other oppositon. But in this case, Whenever pakistan has met australia whether it's in pakistna or it's in Aus or at a neutral venue Sharjah, your team has been milked by the Aussies. IN 1998, when Australia toured Pakistan under Taylor's captaincy, Mark Taylor went on to score 334* and the next day he decided that he won't bat anymore because he doesn't want to end up score 500 against pakistani poor week team and would rather retire his innings and call it a hat at his highest score. Now 12 years later, Ricky Ponting in melbourne test had to do something similar by declaring the innings early in first inngs so that the week Pakistani team can score some runs and make the game competitive. That didin't happen that time and neither it happend in the whole series. Pak beaten, thrashed left, right and center. Link to comment
Pak_Forever Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 ONLY poor batting pretty much cost us :(( Well batting did play a role in defeats but wasn't really the main culprit. Link to comment
I_India Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 wana know which team was one of the worsts from the day they started playing cricket till the end of 90s? Back then it was difficult to compete with Pakistani Pav Bhaji house thanks to your well oiled home umpires and "fair play" that your bowlers indulged in :giggle: not like they are currently doing any better :--D You won couple of sessions against Australia and your buddy started "Pak power house" thread. That should have taught you that losing some sessions to Bangladesh does not mean end of the match. You Pakis will never learn :hysterical: Link to comment
rahulrulezz Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Why do we need to create threads like these... Enough of this Pakistan-India bashing Link to comment
Sachin_Rulez Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 12-0 in tests!! Incredible!!!! I remember Paks losing to Saffers 14 or 15 times consecutively in ODIs from 95 to 2000, when they supposedly had one of the best ODI teams in 90s...:giggle: This one got better. Link to comment
DomainK Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 lol.....another white wash. :giggle: Link to comment
Karan114 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 http://icc-cricket.yahoo.net/match_zone/team_ranking.php Officially seventh in the rankings now...just three points ahead of West Indies Link to comment
Ram Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 At least before, Pakistanis had the standard excuse of not playing enough cricket due to the security situation back home to fall back on. Now, even that is gone. But 12 defeats in a row to Australia is truly shocking. Couldnt they manage at least a draw? Link to comment
Karan114 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The obsession with India continues. Yousuf's comments "If we are honest, all of us stakeholders, if we put together an honest team, we can have a good team. It will take time. It took India time as well, a lot of time. We can make this side better. We are weak in a few areas. We lost the series and are disappointed. But the way they played, a young side, inexperienced, I am happy with that." http://www.cricinfo.com/ausvpak09/content/current/story/444845.html WTF does India have to do with you man, get a grip. We outperformed you in Test cricket last decade but it took us a "lot of time"? Link to comment

We outperformed you in Test cricket last decade but it took us a "lot of time"?[/quote'] We have taken joy in each others miseries. Always. Watching your enemy on the cusp of greatness while you get treated like a piece of gum stuck to the sole of a shoe, well, .... goes without saying Link to comment
DomainK Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 wana know which team was one of the worsts from the day they started playing cricket till the end of 90s? not like they are currently doing any better :--D Every time we show you the present, you take refuge in the past. You are like an ageing actress who stays indoors and refuses to have mirrors in her house because she wants to believe that she is still young and wants to live in the past. But what about the wrinkles on the back of your hand, huh? Come out of your mirror less house and see the reality. Stop living in the past. Stop taking digs at India standing amidst the ruins of your own self. Don't point fingers when you should be nurturing yourself. Find a mirror. Link to comment
Mamu Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The question is what is the record for consecutive losses like this? It is 12 - 0 Jointly held by Bangladesh against SL and of course -- our own Poyz. Link to comment
MUMBAISKIPPER Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 what happened to their "great fast bowling attack"??Have all the bowlers punctured?? Link to comment

On the fourth morning in Hobart, Intikhab Alam gave some catching practice to Kamran Akmal, regular stuff with one throwing a ball at a crouched, slow Intikhab who would open the face of the bat and edge to Akmal. He managed to give about five catches to Akmal, out of maybe fifty. The scene was everything, and nothing about it was right. Link to comment
Sachinism Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 ^^ lmao They need Duncan Fletcher to do that Link to comment
Ram Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Osman Samiuddin has been quite vocal in his criticism of the Pakistani team. And was it Sarchasm (or My Two Cents) who made a post that went along the lines of 'While the rest of the world is in the 21st century, Pakistanis resemble tribal warriors praying with their bows and arrows'? This article was very synonymous with that comment. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Can't blame Osman. This is a gutless display by Pakistan. Link to comment
Karan114 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Yep, there comes a point where even the most devoted fans/journos get tired of things. Osman can no longer be bothered to pretend and is writing the facts, I guess. Pretty brutal but correct article Link to comment
Ram Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 When a team says that 'Oh, there's no need for a specialist fielding coach. What is he going to do? Come here and throw some air-balls and make the boys practice catches.. That even we can do..', then that itself should have sent the alarm bells ringing in the Pakistani cricket fraternity. That either means a)The Pakistani team management is totally oblivious of some of the modern drills that can be employed while coaching or b)They recognize that better coaching can have an impact, but they have simply given up on their cricketers or c) They're insecure about their jobs themselves and do not want outsiders or d) A combination of all the above. In some ways, we were so lucky to have sophisticated/suave men like Dravid, Kumble lead our national team. They were not just cricketers, but also intellectuals and above all, dignified statesmen. You cannot point to a SINGLE character in the Pakistani team and say they exhibit even an iota of such qualities. Half the time, they're busy shampooing their beards or undergoing liposuction.... No wonder their team is in doldrums.. Link to comment
