ODI ranking is somewhat less relevant that test as there is a world cup for ODI.
Vilander Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 i am ever so mildly excited about pakistani bowling now, just purely from watching cricket point of view( i do not like pakistan in general). Wahab in particular is an outstanding bowler, so is this new guy Yasir.
deathmonger Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 With Oz losing 0-3 India are the no 1 test team now. Need to win in Port of Spain to keep it. express bowling 1
Asim Posted August 17, 2016 Author Posted August 17, 2016 Pakistan might get it temporarily since news about quite some rain expected in final Test but India can easily regain and firm it bcz of lots of upcoming Test cricket at home...
Lala Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 India became no 1 test after beating a minnow . These ranking procedure is really unfair We should have been in the top after beating a best team like Eng. Misbah 1

G_B_ Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) pak also drew with England the last time Pakistan beat England in a test series was 1996..... (in England) Pak have never beaten WI, SA and Aus in their home countries. In the lat 20 years, Pakistan have beaten SL, NZ Zim and BD away from home... Edited August 17, 2016 by G_B_

First 2 Tests were draw... amazing display of swing bowling from Akram throughout this series... 3rd Test was a super thriller, WI had 8 down, Akram took Adams (Not given), then at 9 Saqlain took other one (not given) and besides that Pakistan missed a run out opportunity too... WI won by 1 wicket... 1 bad decision took whole series away from Pak... Nonetheless was a superb series... One of the last time together Test series for Wasim+Waqar and Ambrose+Walsh Misbah 1

Malcolm Merlyn Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Beat Bharat too in 1999. Series was tied 1-1.
Asim Posted August 18, 2016 Author Posted August 18, 2016 ^ Yes, 3rd Test was 1st match of Asian Test championship which we won... Many Pakistanis take it as 2-1 series win ;) Misbah 1

One of the last time together Test series for Wasim+Waqar and Ambrose+Walsh poor umpiring also cost us the series in 2008. If not won, we could have drawn that series if not for bad umpiring in Sydney.

Lost to India 3-0 3. Lost to England 2-1 4. No test match in last 12 months They are still the best side overall, but not this year. I won't be surprised if they are back to top 3 in 15 months or so.

Pak vs Ind 99, 2 Tests series was obv 1-1 draw... 3rd Tests was a part of Asian Test championship which Pak won and I was saying many Pakistanis take it as a series win just because on that tour we won 2-1 vs ind Edited August 18, 2016 by Asim
