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

No that is exactly what should be done, New Zealand destined for world no.1, or is that win in Australia ancient history now?

This is pretty humbling there is no doubt about it and won't pretend there are not worrying signs for the rest of the series but at ths stage it is no more than one terrible performance.

You're seriously saying they could repeat the dose against the current Aussie bowling attack? No Johnson and a vastly improved Siddle and HIlfenhaus, not to mention Pattinson and Cummins if fit? 3 innings wins?

Anyway we'll see next year.

No sour grapes. I couldn't be happier than seeing our preening drama queens get their asses handed over to them all over the place. I just don't think England are that good.

12 months is a long time in cricket, which is why judging the Ashes next year based on one game is itstl.

Royal we eh.. thought you woz an ozzy.. how wrong woz I

I was taking the piss out of Srinivasan.

I do have a British passport though, and I don't have an Australian one, so make of that what you will.

Going over the top

You are actually talking big now, as if the last test series has any relevance? Lol.

That was a Pakistan team in utter disarray, you should factor that into your analysis.

What I was actually referring to is how certain many England fans were they were gonna score big in the second innings, and the first was just an aberration, no humility and clouded analysis, pak strangled England and induced bad strokes, please check the run rates of the first 15 overs of both innings, pak bowling was the biggest factor.

Look the Australian bowling attack is better no doubt..but the Australian batting line up is still pretty brittle. They have been collapsing pretty regularly for the last two years. Just because they haven't collapsed against India does not mean they are suddenly great.

r3alist, this is a friendly reminder to keep your tone respectful when you debate. Thanks.

Yay slog o'clock time.. the T20 teenies should tune in now

Atleast India's poor performances came on pitches that had juice in them. This is a road

So much juice that Clarke, Cook, KP, Ponting et cetera made merry. India are 7 zip down in away tests, that's pathetic. Losing one test maybe not by an innings in a country you have never played a test in before isn't that bad in comparison, is it?

tbf I know plenty of Pakistani fans whose avatar is Michael Clarke acknowledging applause walking off after a triple and have two Australians player for their signature.

On CW most Indians root for Pakistan against England, and most Aussies root for England against India.

Guess some gloating over the summer would have contributed too.

There is a lot of support for Pakistan on ICF too. No one likes the class topper

Not caught much of the actual cricket down under, I take it?

My favorite team after India and Windies. Would be happy if Kiwis became number 1

Kinda sad that something like that would never happen IMO.

The performance by India has been pathetic, I never said it wasnt. But the pitches in England and Australia had enough in them for the bowlers - its another thing that Indian bowlers werent able to exploit it.

This one however is a complete road.
