Whats the point of picking 5 bowlers?

Nice to see ur bar is not high - beating Srilanka A and B (England) makes u happy

Well if the same SL A and B thrash my team for 300+ runs, I would be happy wining the series.:D

Considering what happened a month or so ago you really should not have said that:D

I thought u were smart enough to figure that the team that played a month ago (2007) was not the same English team that played in 2005.. alas I was wrong.

and i thought that you knew ENG were a lbetter team back then. I know any kind of ranking system would prove that but just looking at the players it should have been quite obvious.

Here's their record between Jan 05 - Sept 06, and June 05 - June 06. P W L T NR % HS LS MC LC BatAv BowAv R/6b C/6b filtered 38 11 22 2 3 34% 391 164 353 175 31.2 35.4 5.13 5.25 filtered 21 8 11 1 1 42% 391 164 353 190 31.5 33.2 5.04 5.03 so dont know how Eng were a better team.

And Pakistan is the only team which plays 5 bowlers and fails to defend 314 :hysterical: http://content-www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/66136.html

Or 7+ batsmen (including the ones in lalaland) & yet failing to chase a target of 140 & 150 against a similar attack that concedes 300+:hysterical:

haha! nice spin! just went up to sept 06 so you can sneak in the 5 nil defeat to SL :haha: When ENG walked in to play the first ODI vs PAK they were ranked the #5 ODI team in the world and when they walked in to play the first ODI vs IND they were ranked #7 just one point ahead of WI. Forget about the rankings just look at the team Stresscothick was in good form, Strauss was playing well, Flintoff was on top of the world, KP was dominating world attacksl and heck even Steve Harmison was bowling well. Compare that to ENG's team that just played against IND:giggle:

OK now u r arguing for the sake of arguing. I gave u the records for 2 time periods and it includes Sept 09 becoz all I did is change 06 to 07 in default cricinfo settings. Also after playing Pak, Eng went to India and got drilled 5-1 so spare me the BS

Going by your logic we should say that the 2006 team of IND that won 4-1 in Pakistan and 5-1 against ENG was a terrible team because one year later they got knocked out in the 1st round of the world cup or the PAK team that lost to IND in 04 was a great team because in 05 they defeated WI, IND and ENG.

zaheer should pick up more wickets, seems like he wont get more than 1 wicket per match.... (in ODI's that is)
