India slips to 5th in ICC rankings as Pakistan move up to 4th

[Old guy]

We play Eng & Aus at home in the next year and a half so it's in our hands to rise up the ranks. I expect India to be in the top 3 before we start touring away. After that it all depends on how we managed the transition. If likes of Laxman and Tendulkar play on till just before the away series' date=' we will be in for some serious hammerings.[/quote'] thats why i want to play rohit and rahane at home tests yes even after bad performance away in a tour ...cos these seniors are gonna reire soon and we are gonna end up playing with team in whcih 2 middle order players are debuting pujara still making come back and kohli and yes our incompetent openers in tests :((

"We present match up nightmare for pakis"? Now do we esp in test cricket? We beat you at home and lost away in last couple of series. We drew in Ind 05 with Sami khalil and Razzaq opening the bowling FFS. And sebby have you seen YK and Misbah's record v Ind with Kumble and on peak Bhaji and Zaheer. You will need fire crew to shift them off the crease because they will check in for bed and breakfast against Ashwin and co.

we will rise our game i think we will start improving now again .. hope atleast 2 players debut against kiwi's if young players arei n team we will be strong again in 2-3 years (which is probably when we will play next test series with ya guys ) but even now we will do just fine..even ur bowling isnt tht special.. ajmal is good others are ordinary and if zack is fit and yadav plays for a change we have better phast bowlers :woot:

Zaheer has never done anything against us. The only way you can beat us is by picking Irfan and Praveen as we tend to struggle against dibbly dobbly 7mph bowlers.

yadav,aaron,ishant,zak.. any 3 outta these 4 in a lil helpful condition will cause another glory sheen over pak batting record i.e another score less than 100,maybe even close to 50

[Old guy]

yadav' date='aaron,ishant,zak.. any 3 outta these 4 in a lil helpful condition will cause another glory sheen over pak batting record i.e another score less than 100,maybe even close to 50 [/quote'] will play shami ahead of aaron

We might have been bowled out for under 100 in Eng 2010 but still ended up winning 2/6 test that summer.

[SLICKR392]

Mohali! The IPL ones :yay:

[Old guy]

Mohali! The IPL ones :yay:

ya i think if not international games.. atleast first class and a games played there should be on such tracks its best way to prepare good players who will bat well even abroad

[Sarkar]

Perfect tonic after the loss in SL when someone said now we are the 3rd best team in sub cont.

I shall reserve that judgement wait until you tour South Africa and Australia you will be hearing more good news.
