Are you talking about results though or ability?

A combination of both, put in a proper context. A draw in the 40s was obviously more acceptable than a draw in the 00s. My take is, If I had to have a cricket team(Which played together) take the field playing for my life, I would definitely pick the Invincibles.

Faisal1985,..this is the reason I had predicted an innings defeat....being positive is alright but there is a fine line between being positive and being unrealistic.

MCC Spirit of Cricket test series scipt: Test 1

-Pakistan win the toss and send Australia in to bat
-After a reasonably good start, Australia collapse massively
-At the start of day 2, Pakistan faff about while Hussey and Bollinger add another 10 or so runs
-Pakistan bat and do a Pakistan'. They are all out for less than 200.
-Australia bat again and get 350-400. Clarke tons up.
-Pakistan flail around again and lose by 200 or so runs.


Sounds about right to me.

Rather disappointed. Was hoping Pakistan would follow up that good performance with the ball. I knew the batting was weak but hoped it would be stronger than this. Bring back Younis and Yousuf!!

Even if that team had to face a side like SA of today would you not be just a little bit worried?

Haha what?

You reckon todays SA team would get close to the invincibles? Spare me days. The Invincibles would destroy them ffs.

Anyway, well played Salman Butt, a good test match knock - he does seem to perform well against us on a reasonably consistent basis.

And well bowled Watson too. Been a good spell this, even though he got slogged a bit - late swing and all. Shows how handy all rounders are when they add a dimension like this to an attack.

I'd back the Invincibles to take a home series(5 tests) 3-0 and away series, 3-1 in fact.

and It's a generally accepted fact that test cricket has become more result oriented and professional. Previously, A team's goal was to win the series without bothering too much about the number of draws/wins. Now, each match is seen as an individual event with the essential objective of winning.
