PAK vs IRELAND ODI

Pak bat. Match reduced to 47 overs.

Azhar 1 run off 12 balls. Hafeez 11 runs off 28 balls. Not even a good SR for test matches.

Arsenal,

I told u bro way before that Pak will give lot better fight in tests and you can see the results yourself. Lucky now due to rain mercy Pak will be No:1 in tests for the first time but for how long?

fact taker hello where have you been hiding bro?

To be fair you were correct. Overall I was pleased with the 2-2 draw and it will be interested to see how Pakistan can do in New Zealand and Australia! I cannot believe how bad the weather has been in West Indies! India could have won the series 4-0 if it wasn't for the weather. It would be nice seeing Pakistan number 1 Hope it can last at least a month lol.

The rankings have an odd look to them with south Africa languishing near the bottom. They've just played too much poor cricket for a couple of years now. Afridi is the past, no place for sentiment

Arsenal,

Just kinda busy with work bro and trying to get my CPA license soon. Anyways I'm happy that your team will get chance to be No:1 and to be fair they have been playing good test cricket for some time. My team India don't really deserve it especially when we keep playing same losers like Ishant Sharma, Nohit Sharma, Dhawan punk etc. To be frank I don't care for rankings much and would rather prefer us winning test series in Aus, SA and England on their turfs..

Ahhh I see well good luck with it all
It's weird because 10 years ago Pakistan were poor in Test Cricket but good in ODI and now it's the other way round. I still think India have been playing good Cricket lately and I still rate Dhawan and Sharma, you just need to sort your bowling attack out. I will be looking forward to the India vs England series, it will be nice to see how both teams do, still 3-4 months away though!

Thanks bro.. U are right we need to sort our bowling out but at present we have one of the worst line up in test playing nations.. Ur lucky with so many options in that department and that is the main reason Pak is able to compete lot better in tests. For me tests shows real skills and Odis/T20 are just like fast food to me!

And of-course looking forward for India-England series but I won't be surprised if we mess up like last time as long as we play that lanky Ishant type players!

I think in terms of spinners you have plenty of options i.e. Ashwin, Jadeya, Mishra but the pace bowlers is something you are lacking a bit. Pakistan are the other way round, we have a good bowling attack but out batting usually lets us down. Once Younis and Misbah retire it will be very difficult for us to replace them both.

I think India will be favourites in that series but it can still go either way. I'm scared of the ODI series between Pakistan and England. Pakistan need to be competitive and avoid a whitewash lol.

I have a gut feeling that Pak will do well. I may be wrong but most of the times I have been correct. Anyways good luck bro!

Also enjoy ur team No:1 test status for the first time till it lasts😛

It will be a good series I'm sure of that and thank you Who do India play after West Indies? any series before England or no?

I think India will play New-Zealand at home after Windies.. Hopefully we should be able to win that series but cannot take it for granted especially with our team. Anything is possible with these jokers
