Lets wait for our Overseas cycle we will also have somewhat clear idea when Pak tours Windies,right now we are just making assumptions.

Australia is a clear standout.
India have one world class pacer and two excellent spinners.
England's attack is overaged and on a steady decline.
SA have never had any troubles in Asia and looking at their current stocks, i don't see why they would

The Indian bunch apart from Shami and Ashwin are mediocre.Australia is good but no way they are standout without having any decent spinner. Two pace duo and that's pretty much it. It's not enough to make them competitive in away conditions. Will see how Bird does in India if he gets picked.
England still have very good attack with Broad, Anderson, Woakes and Stokes on the side. Indian bowling is as good as they come in SC
All in all except SA, every one else is very condition dependent.

The Indian bowling apart from Shami and Ashwin is mediocre.
The English bunch are heavily dependant on overhead and pitch conditions and lack variety i.e an enforcer.
A good pace attack should be able to pick up wickets even in unfavorable conditions. What was India's last score again Eng... 759/7 if I remember right!
Jadeja is only able to pose a threat in test cricket on spin friendly pitches.Wouldn't call Jadeja and Yadav mediocre
England just beat SA in their backyard this year
Jadeja is only able to pose a threat in test cricket on spin friendly pitches.
Yadav is a poor mans Wahab.
And exactly the reason why Jadeja is mediocre.There is a reason why I wrote "condition dependent" in every sentence
And exactly the reason why Jadeja is mediocre.
The Australian bowlers have to do reasonably well to average sub 25, taking into considering the wickets they play on.

I'm strictly speaking about the pace attack...Standout indeed!
LOL! Aussies generally bully teams at home. Even that's not true against SAF recently. And they don't travel well. You just got white washed in SL which is one of the weakest Lankan teams in history. Had you played Pakistan in the subcontinent, i have no doubt you'd have been whitewashed. You even lost the last Ashes @ England.
At best Australia is a competent test team, by no means a standout team
I only gave slight edge to Pakistan over India because of younis and misbah. Once they retire India will be a better team because Pakistan will have to build a new team around azhar ali and asad shafiq.
He was right
Because we beat Bangladesh at home?
Because we beat Bangladesh at home?
Lol look at how ruthlessly you have beaten your opponents at home. Your much superior in batting and fielding. Bowling is closer though but I think overall you are a better team than us in tests.
No because we have beaten SL/WI away and beaten SA/NZ/ENG at home by huge margins![]()

This was not a mere victory. One side scored 846 for 10 wkts, the other side scored 638 for 20 wkts.
There was a brief period where Pak team was indeed better than India's.
However, age has caught up with Misbah finally, and YK is getting less dependable day by day. Unfortunately there are no ready replacements for them.
So yes, India is the far better side now.
Yeah of course. One side batted first on a first day belter while the other side always had to play the catch up Game. Also the number of times Bangla threw away their wickets should also be mentioned.
Actually, you have made multiple claims and called them 'facts' and have done nothing to prove them.
He has only asked for evidence and you've failed to provide them.
I don't have evidence but I have heard Manjrekar say it with my own ears saying this.. this was back in 2005-06 on ten sports India Pakistan series, now what I can I do if there is no proof of that video![]()
India is miles ahead of Pakistan at the moment. Anyone looking at things objectively can see that. The only format of the game in which there might be a contest is Test cricket where Pakistan have not been bottom of the pile lately.
India haven't been the #1 Asian test team since they got destroyed 8:0 overseas and their "Fab 4" era ended. Pakistan are still the better test team, especially if India go on to lose their current series.
The rankings will obviously favor India because they just came off an extremely long home season that was played on pitches tailor-made for either their spinners or their batsmen.
Pakistan is better in all four departments, including fielding as far as test cricket goes. In ODIs, India are rhe superior team.

Lol.
The indian t20 side is certainly not Miles better than pakistan.
Pakistan has convincingly won its last 4 matches against the WC finalists westindies and england .
This thread is about tests though and a case can be made for either side depending on opponent and conditions.
Losing 3 Tests each to NZ and Aus + One Test to WI at home (and a close shave in another ) all of it in the last 6 months does not mean anything about the current Pakistan team but Indias record from 4+ yrs is a better indicator of current Indian team ? ....
Do you realize that we were No.1 even before the home season began ? Infact one of the reasons why Pak got to No.1 was due to a washout of WI vs India Testmatch.
Even some of the most die hard fanatic fans with seriously green shades will find that hard to believe.
Shukhar hai uparwaley ka .... small mercies and all that ... or may be you will still find ways to twist and create Alternate facts)
Oh, don't get me wrong, it would definitely mean something. Losing two (not three) tests to New Zealand and getting pummeled by Australia is poor for any team... Except that India also lose two tests to New Zealand and got pummeled by Australia the last time they were there.
Now, India are on track to losing yet another high profile series at home and with their home season (finally) ending, you can kiss that #1 rank good bye. Have fun in South Africa.![]()
That 8:0 doesn't have any relevance now, I mentioned it as the point in time from which Pakistan overtook India as the best test team from Asia.
India definitely have more depth in the spin department and overall, their spin attack is stronger but no spinner in India is as good as Yasir Shah in tests. I agree I went too far there. In the batting, pace bowling and fielding departments, Pakistan are ahead.
The NZ Series was 3 yrs ago and under MSD ... this team is completely different. Even then we lost only one test match. And we drew 2 Tests in Aus something you have never done in last 20 yrs
We are ? Last time I checked the the series stood 1-1 with 4 days left in the last test where Aussies have been bowled out for 300. Time will tell if we win or lose. But despite injuries to key players 9over the last 6 months) Kohli, Rohit, Rahane, Ashwin, Shami, Vijay we have had a very good home season.
shukar hai ...
Pakistan is better than India in Batting and fast bowling and fielding too ? Have you even seen any Indian Tests recently ?)
Yes, a totally different team containing Vijay, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Shami, Jadeja, Ishant and Kumar. At least know your facts before embarrassing yourself. Yes, the mighty Indians managed to draw two tests in Australia, much vow. Stop with this minnow talk. Had you drawn the series it would have been a great accomplishment but India is incapable of winning matches overseas, barring the occasional fluke. Pakistan though, won two matches in England.
Not difficult to have a good home season on tailor-made wickets. We crushed the Aussies 2:0, you're probably going to lose 2:1. Another humiliating home loss like the one against England. Pakistan meanwhile, are undefeated for over seven years in the UAE.
I have seen enough dropped catches and Indian batsmen looking like bunnies against the likes of Elgar, Harmer, Moeen, Lyon and O'Keefe to confidently state that Pakistan are the better test team and would win any three match series 2:0 in Asia and 2:1 overseas. You can save the emojis for another poster. I am done here.
I am done here.
BUMP in light of the recent statement made by Sarfraz .... When Captain of the Cricket team and other prominent personalities can spew such idiotic comments then no wonder fans like [MENTION=135196]waleed88[/MENTION] hold onto these stmts as fact all the while when 11-0 stares at them in their faces.
A big part of your history forgotten in the 11-0 is the better head to head record in Test Matches and ODIs for Pakistan, conveniently forgetting the majority of your matches in the UAE.. which became a graveyard for your team..
India should play Pakistan and proof it otherwise its all just bla bla bla.

Exactly...Until both the team play against each other, fan from either side should respect the ICC ratings.
otherwise they will forever be considered as being "afraid" of the ferocious unstoppable force i.e the Pakistan Cricket team that just happens to be ranked #8 .... this is the logic that a vast number of Pakistani fans subscribe to ...![]()

So India are afraid of Playing pakistan because of the Overall Win-Loss ratio which is in favor of Pakistan but they are not afraid of Playing Pakistan in Worldcups ... is that your theory ?
as utterly biased as you are see if you can make sense of that.
Let me help you a bit .... 11-0 is a clean sweep that goes back 25 yrs .. whereas 71-52 is nowhere close to being a clean sweep and never was ( Pak lost the 1st ever ODI vs Ind in 1978 at Quetta lol )
I know it hurts you alot, but overall Pakistan has been a better team than India historically and statistically, despite being 7 times smaller in size![]()

.
What has size got to do with this? Its not like the bigger the country the more players they can put on the field.
Australia and SA have been an even better side than Pakistan, and Australia is just 1/7th of Pakistan too.
Anyways, just watch as India catches up on the next few years.
I know it hurts you alot, but overall Pakistan has been a better team than India historically and statistically, despite being 7 times smaller in size and almost 8 times smaller in population![]()
Well then they are 1/14th of India I guess, which is a shame.. at one time, in the 90s, India had only 1 sporting icon out of billion people to worship and that was Sachin... pretty low output of sporting heroes for such a large population I must say
Hurt? Do you even know what it feels like to eject your bitter rivals from 3 World Cups? ( 1996, 2007, 2011 )![]()

Just 3 matches? Just another cricket match for me, we've won 19 more matches than you.. many as historic as any cricket matches ever.. ofcourse Indian media makes you believe those world cup matches are the only that took place in Indian history, but we've satisfied ourselves alot seeing your batsmen quiver infront of our pace bowling...
haha. good response!

you would think he would shut up now but no ... just wait and see how he will try and rate Kitply Cup's higher than WorldCup
So a WorldCup is just like another match ... let me guess was Kitply Cup being the best Win out of those ... right ?)
LOL. Pace bowling that gets hit for sixes. More World Cups, Champions Trophies, no 1 maces etc etc. India India India!!!
Statistically its just another match.. we have won 19 moreplease go over all the world cup matches now to make yourselves feel better..you still have a long way to go (19 more games)
19 ? Let me tell you something .... you can actually say that it is 55 more to go ( 66 overall wins minus 11 )
http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...derby=start;team=6;template=results;type=team
Nobody cares about Kitply and Pepsi-Cola cups ... you can have them all)
Cups don't matter, but seeing India getting defeated every time is a sight to behold, we have had those sights 19 more times than you.. everytime its a pleasure in itself![]()
