Pujara and Kohli will easily put up partnership of 200+ against your chuckers and trundlers

This is bad. He got whacked by a Rohit Sharma in the first 10 overs. That's the lowest of low for Junaid.

[NareshK]

Junaid had an average of 102 in Champions Trophy and 177 in Asia Cup and he is the best bowler in Pak. :cantstop: Next best is Bilawal Thirty.

I care, since I cant see Junaid Khan destroy the Indian batting line up in tests. I would simply enjoy the sight of that. Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Seriously?? For real ?? The same junaid khan who can't find a place in the team?? I suggest you move on from junaid and try some new bowler. Pakistan must be having a lot in domestic. I missed the ind vs pak odi series but whenever i have seen him live, i fail to understand what's all the hype about??

[Rotating Potato]

And as far as ind vs pak test series go, there's too much burden of history and its better if we keep meeting in limited over international tourneys. Test between ind and pak will be a snoozefest anyway.

I really dont want to play them. They dont like India they should not play India.

:hysterical:

[thecricketer]

Dont care for it. Let that country first stop creating trouble in India.

exactly.. They always criticise our country, BCCI but wants to play us so that they can earn huge money. Always Shake hand with one, stab you from behind with the other. Never believe them.

[Haarkarjeetgaye]

ho gaya bhai 2008 mein. India was put to test. may be you were sleeping on a cozy bed

[gs]

Couldn't care less.

[veer]

Does anybody care? Is there really no appetite for this?

there are larger issues in world politics than having cricket appetite..

[Jersey #10]

No! It's very simple.

[panesarv]

No

the real question should be do Indian or pakistani fans care for test cricket in general? I am talking about the masses and not few internet warriors on ICF who keep claiming test cricket is ultimate. With so many world cups and icc events around the itch to watch india and pakistan will be satisfied by atleast one a year me thinks. Next year its in 2015 WC. After that i am sure the ICC will pit India and Pakistan in the same group for the T20.

Mumbai 2008 and better off since then.

I love test cricket. I am a huge fan of it. All I hope for is a pitch with something in it for the bowlers. it can be a batting pitch but should at least have some bounce and spin coming into play on the last day.

India-Pakistan Test series likely in 2015

Pakistan's conditional support for the ICC revamp hinges on the promise of six series against India, including a 'home' series in the Middle East as part of an upcoming, reworked eight-year FTP cycle from 2015 to 2023, ESPNcricinfo has learnt. The change in the PCB's stance has taken place on the condition that Pakistan would be involved in bilateral series against all Full Members, including India. If Indo-Pak series are officially slotted into the eight-year FTP, it could also involve a 'home' series for Pakistan against India in the United Arab Emirates. The PCB is now waiting for a final confirmation from the BCCI following its Working Committee meeting, which the PCB have been informed, is expected to take place in the next 15 days. It will then enable the PCB to work out a long-term broadcasting deal with regular India series at its centre. The PCB's opposition to the ICC's original position paper that recommended a remodeling of the ICC's administrative structure and its revenue distribution rested on the argument that it was against the principle of "equality." However, following certain changes in the resolutions, as well as the possibility of playing India frequently led PCB to support the governance, finance and FTP changes in the ICC, which was driven entirely by the BCCI, ECB and Cricket Australia. ESPNcricinfo understands that all the nine member boards have confirmed their earlier commitments with PCB until 2020 and are chalking out a fresh plan for the period from 2020 to 2023. The BCCI could look to slot in as many as six series against Pakistan, due to the gaps that are available in the existing FTP calendar. The first of these bilateral series could take place in the UAE in the winter of 2015. "Cricket between both countries is beneficial as the Pakistan government is also keen to revive ties with India on a high note," PCB chairman Najam Sethi said on Friday following the two-day ICC board meeting in Dubai. India and Pakistan have not played a full series since the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai, which India blamed on militants based across the border. However, Pakistan visited India for a short limited-over series in December 2012, but despite not getting any revenue out of the series, it was regarded as a stepping stone in reviving cricketing ties between both countries. Since July 2013, Pakistan have been without a long-term broadcasting deal, one of the major sources of income for the PCB. The PCB already had to deal with a long-standing budget-deficit, which in August 2013, was calculated at nearly PKR 500 million. The PCB estimates that after committing to the ICC revamp, the financial benefits could reach PKR 30 billion from the bilateral ties, the major chunk of which will be earned from hosting India.

Why does anyone want pakistan support. They have no choice but to support.

[sillymidoff]

as a non indian/pakistani i used to love the tests between these twp countries in the 90s. i don't think either either country has iconic enough players to make it as watchable these days.
