Which team will FINALLY beat Pakistan in a Test series in the UAE?

Pakistan did not lose a series in Pakistan for 15 years until the 1995 SL tour of Pakistan. Pakistan have not lost a series in the UAE in 15 years(defeat to OZ in 2002) Can SL do it?
 
Don't think Lankans can close a series,they don't have it in them..
 
Don't forget Amir, Babar and Shafiq.
The golden trio.

Yeah, they're equally to be blamed.

My post was mainly about how Misbah always had to take crap from these bloody Sarfraz fans for everything.
 
Who would have thought it'll be Lankans lol.... Probably the weakest Asian team of the lot.
 
there is no attack. abu dhabi is a road for the first 4 days so pakistan will put up a huge score as well. the only way a result can be forced on this pitch is if we put pressure on sri lanka on day 5 with yasir when the pitch breaks up.

basically a repeat of the abu dhabi test in 2015 where bad light saved us.

I hate to say I told you so....
 
Winning and losing is part of the game. One match doesnt make any team the worst or best.

So chill 😎
 
And that weakest team gave hell of a beating to your all time great team in CT 17 final.

Lol you should re read your comments one after the other, one match doesn't make any team best it worst, that's why the CT final doesn't wash away pak's mediocre record in the last decade.

And btw, I was talking about test cricket when I said Pakistan is the weakest Asian team :srini
 
Well, Lanka are in a position to make history; will be a monumental feat if they pull it off. For almost 10 years many have come and failed; all fell victim to the reapers of lost souls :misbah :yk3 Will Lanka be the ONE behind 10 - 1 :angelo:angelo

Dude you should read the comments againt. When did I ever say Pakistan is the best team.

Just said it gave a good beating to India in CT 17. I guess nobody can deny that after all. 😂

What an Irony then as Pakistan is still no 6 and ahead of the Srl and Bng.

Your points are only backed by emoji of Srinavasan instead of facts. 😛

It did, like you said winning and losing is part of game,you did lost to Lanka albeit chasing 136 nobody can't deny that either and by the way just like It was a relaid pitch as u mentioned earlier, it took an ongoing tiff going between captain and coach where the whole team was busy calming things down which offcourse created lot of tension before that CT17 final

Still a margin of 180 runs in a final is huge! What ever the excuse may be.

Yes Pak lost and its a fact but it wasnt a final of a major tournament.

Even test championship hasnt started so its not like all is lost.
 
Suppose in a way, although an embarrassment, might not hurt as much if our "bhais" the Lankans did it instead of the likes India, Aus, Eng etc.

It's not an excuse,it was for everyone to see the rift was quite evident, no team can be in a right frame of mind when their is so much tension going on,look what whole ganguly Chappell saga did to us in wc 2007,the woolmer effect to you in 2007 wc.

Are you sure? Considering the fact that there is who will beat pak in uae thread going on, if ur bhais indeed beat u in the series, then get ready for a verbal phainta from all ur fellow brothers.

Won't - PAK will win the 2nd Test by innings or at least by 100+ margin - you can mark this post. That Dubai wicket is much faster than this pig sh!t (tells everything about Abu Dhabi) & it has got a bit carry, though I still smell bad from rotten UAE wickets even through internet. If they bat first, on similar wicket at Abu Dhabi, actually Nabi & Rashid will trouble PAK team.

If you look at the history - every non Asian team has done well against PAK in later half of the series in UAE - that's acclimatization of the dead slow bore feast and had those series won/drawn by Misbah's team been 4/5 Test series, you would have seen the fun.

Only Asian side that PAK has played in UAE is SRL - never lost 1st Test in UAE, actually has won 2 now - that's better planning & execution of a given condition; the sides familier with similar conditions will out smart PCB's team in 1st Test almost always - and I can tell you to wait even for Nepal to get Test status to check this. But, as a team SRL is far inferior - so they couldn't beat PAK in a series once the "home side" got acclimatized with the condition😝

I don't know who, but someone should lose his job to go with that attack here as host, when tourists went with 5 bowlers & 3 specialist spinners - something exactly what I wrote 3 days before the toss from Toronto, that Bilal should play here over 2 spinners & Wahab should play as one of 2 pacers.

It's good fortune for PCB that India doesn't play them in UAE & bad fortune for team PAK that they don't play in India either. And, it's great for us, Test fanatics that 3/9 happened & PCB is relieved of their burden from hosting Test match - at least we can see some Test drama. It would have been even worse experience than 200/3 in a full day & 5 out of 6 Tests confirmed to end in draw by 3rd lunch.
 
Our record in UAE is one of the most overrated things in cricket. It is called things like 'fortress' because we have not lost a series but we lose so many tests and hardly win any series.

2013 vs SA : 1-1. Would have lost 2-1 if there was another test as that SA team was brilliant.

2014 v SL : 1-1

2014 vs NZ ( poor team in subcontinental conditions) : 1-1

2016: Won 2-1 against a very poor WI team. Embarrassing that we lost one test and even came close to losing first test also.

2017 v SL : 0-1 down.

Only teams we have dominated at home are England and Australia. It is such a mediocre record compared to teams like India and Australia who have lost 1-2 series but have otherwise totally crushed opponents.
 
Probably just trying to soften the blow if it happens, since we only have one more test to save the record. :(

This was to the above.

I wasnt flaunting the CT 17 victory rather my focus was on the difference between importance of matches which you were comparing.
