^ although right now, in Top 10s Test ranking, India got 2 bowlers, Pak got 1 and Pak got 2 batsmen india got none... Strange...!!!

Our batting is now almost new. And still not consistent, so no wonder. Except Kohli and Rahane, nobody else is settled yet. Even these two have a long way to go in Test Cricket.

austarlia and sa wont invite minnow teams for playing tests

anyway forgot about the last 5 years ..  can you tell when was the last time pak won in aus or sa   , we can subtract 5 years ??

Its better not going to AUS or SA to get beaten like India.  At least stats will show positive.

Fake optimism. Good for long term hope building and free fall crashing.

Broad for me is a more alround bowler than Anderson but when it comes to England and swinging the ball, no one can really match him, not even Steyn when it comes to the skills regarding swing.

Yeah. Even Pakistan batsmen gifted few wickets to Moeen Ali during the first test. We did the same in 2014.

Ali was 2nd Top bowler for the series then with some amazing SR (and probably didn't bowled in 1 match?). Here I don't think he can even end in top 5, if play all matches...

Well, it was simple strategy. The fast bowlers choked us putting us under pressure. And then the Indian batsmen saw Ali and tried to hit him out and got out. The same can happen this time too.

 

The way Misbah got out in the 2nd innings was what Indian batsmen did in 2014. Of course some wickets were well earned, but some were gifted too.

Yes I can see almost 0.5/6 indian wickets here fell this way, as you described:

Yeah, I actually watched after I replied to you. Moeen did bowl well, not just the case of gifting wickets. 

 

Not sure how his recent form has been though.
