***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

[smash84]

One more good test series for Pakistan and we could be in top 3. This is amazing.

But another series is wayyyyy down the line I think and that too if we don't whitewash the bangers again we will lose points I reckon

Only if India played us sometime this year i guess.

I am sure I am not the only one but I love seeing a strong Pakistan. It is totally different to a strong India. The only subcontinental team IMO that doesn't have a complex about them and with the right players can pummel even the best sides.

Totally agree. Pakistan is the only SC team which has always had the potential to put together the complete package at any given time: great fast bowling, great spin bowling, a mixture of flair and grit in the batting, and....(well actually let's draw a veil over the fielding for now, this is Pakistan's day ;-))

That's why we can never have the chance to be no. 1. We don't play enough tests.

Yea i guess a drawn test would be pretty damaging points wise.

On a positive note, Flower has just taken some of the blame for the players being underdone for this series and will be looking to learn lessons for the India series.

Wouldn't suprise me if England land in India while the Champions League is going on and play a solid month of cricket in India before the series starts in November.

For ODIs. They come back for Tests in 2014.

Ah thats true just saw that...

Very close for mine. I know India wouldn't have failed this much in these conditions.

lol...not really the comparison to make is it.

India in England = England in UAE

 

[silentstriker]

This was closer in conditions to pakIstan but pak were also playing away.

Hardly away conditions when you've been playing your "home" Test matches there for over a year and there are home curators looking after the pitches.

Aus are coming over to play Pakistan in 5 ODers and 1 T20 in the summer heat of the UAE. Smali/anyone who lives there, isn't it ridiculously hot and a really bad time to be playing in summer?

 

[silentstriker]

Still not your home country. If England get an english type pitch in India, it doesn't mean they'd be expected to do as well as in England even though clearly they'd be expected to do better.
