    Greatest Test Series Victory

    One thing though. SA defeated Aus and Ind cause of ABDV who retired at the end of the Aus series.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    For that to happen the Pakistani establishment has to realize that they can't "compete" with India. It is impossible to compete against an economy 12x your size. Accept a deal on the LOC - make it an international border and then decrease military budget and enjoy access to India. Their...

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Yeah. And especially in T20 where they are locked out of IPL and its riches. In 15-20 years IPL will become the main form of cricket and if Pak players still aren't in it, their downfall will be more.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Being back is relative to other countries. Their entire country is collapsing economically and politically. Back during their glory days in the 80s SA did not play, India were poor and sucked, SL/Bang were minnows. I don't see them overtaking Ind, Eng, Aus, Ban, SA etc anytime soon. Maybe can...

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Pakistan do well when a sport is semi-professional but once it becomes a professional sport with match ups, analytics, fitness regimens etc they fall behind cause at that point it's a money game.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Yeah but Pakistan is also a super poor country which is not really getting richer so they can't really utilize the full 250 million. India and Bangladesh have become better relative to what they were simply cause they are richer countries now with better systems comaped to earlier. If some...

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Naah, this extends beyond cricket. Pakistan's cricket going down is a moment of national despair.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Small target - always go hard at first. If deficit goes down enough, bowling side will deflate.

    I mean if it rains now, I don't exactly think it is Bangladesh who is being saved.

    considering the trajectories of the two economies, a question of when, not if.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Also Pakistan are still in denial of the fall of their pace stocks. No Pak pacer has 200 test wickets since the two W's retired back in 2003. A lot of Pak pacers had promising starts since then but then petered out.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    Another thing to keep in mind is economy. Bangladesh has become a way richer country than Pak and that will reflect in the cricketing infrastructure. Bang will eventually become a better team than Pak and Asia no 2

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Yup. Kumble etc were good in the 90s but teams used to draw series etc. It wasn't WIN EVERY series in more than a decade good. Even 80s Windies and 00s Australia never did that.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Ashwin has more centuries outside Asia than Babar Azam. What does it prove? Ashwin has contributed to wins in Adelaide 18, MCG 20 with the ball which led to series victories. Qadir has won 0 series in Aus.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Indian bowlers with 100+ test wickets by average: Bumrah - 159 @ 20.69 Ashwin - 516 @ 23.75 Jadeja - 294 @ 24.13 Shami - 229 @ 27.71 Then you have Bedi - 266 @ 28.71 and then Gupte, Dev, Kumble, Chandrashekar all at 29.xx Top 4 are all current players. Indian spinners never really bullied...

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    those are what matter. they should use him that way to prolong his career. also with the way cricket is going, total runs/wkts will become meaningless like "total international goals". the level at which it was achieved will be looked into. pakistan top order have insane stats due to playing...

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Even this T20 WC was due to slogging which is not his style. Not like he was getting outfoxed by the bowlers.
