They are still playing in the UAE.

Do Pakistan have a good record in ODIs in the UAE? Even England beat them 4 nil despite them having Ajmal (the less said about the test series the better).

Younis Khan getting test century number 25 and 26, most test centuries for Pakistan now.

I meant to post this earlier in the week, but it seems like the WIndies are imploding.

After 25 years of p*ss-poor team and regional management and money-grubbing lazy players, they deserve each other.

Looks like a Pakistan win tmw 8 wickets needed.

Wi are a shambles top to bottom , all involved would seemingly see WI cricket end up at Zimbabwe level before they work together.

I grew up in the days when on the rare occasions that Clive Lloyd and Sir IVA hadn't amassed a huge score, Logie and Dujon would put on enough runs to allow whichever four great quick bowlers they had to skittle out the opposition.

It's such a shame to see that the WIndies have fallen so far.

It needs someone from outside the WI to sort. I read the story on cricinfo so many problems its sad for the cricket world.

Our Australian brothers have just lost the first test against the mighty Pakistan.
Let's hope they can turn it around in the next one. I really hope so!

[chimster]

Oh I agree - for that to happen two sets of arrogant aholes would need to back down and acknowledge that they're at fault lol

Another century for Younis Khan. He scored his first ever against the Aussies a few days ago, now has three in a row against them

[Amirhussain]

Pakistan 304-2 at stumps, great day.
