A side who ALMOST won a game is still a Tullay baaz in your opinion. I am trying to imagine what opinion you have for a side with legendary players but got dismissed for 161, 121, 99, and 154
They are Balley Baaz 
That side is the No. 1 side in test cricket today. Go figureâŚ
Its actually their fans who do âBalley - Balleyâ 
Thats the kind of thing I wanted to hear from you. This essentially shows how faulty is your opinion about Pakistan being a tullay baaz team
Sorry, I was already factoring in a win in the 3rd test 
The # 1 test team is not Australia - its South Africa.
I am sure its a profound statementâŚsorry if I missed the connection 
Wrong again
Its Aus as I said as per 29th Nov
and even a win in 3rd Test cant put India on top ⌠If I may
pora ghar tak choor ker ayee na banda
O yaar, you are looking at ODI rankingsâŚpls click on test rankings 
P.S. Where is Pak in these rankings ??
acha main chala ghr âŚ
ayee hayee bechara Aus 4th per aa gaya hai? 
⌠no fair

Let me explain it you. Indian team suffered humiliation against Kiwis 5-6 years ago. However same Indian test team has developed immensely in the last few years. This tells you that a team while in building stages may go through alternating periods of ups and downs but you donât label them till you get to observe them for some time.
Waisay I know why you are always quick to label Pakistan team as tullay baaz. You still have not been able to digest Pakistanâs T20 victory and Indian royal exit. Get over it dude
Observe them for some time ? Well, are you sure they will have same team composition 7 years from now ?? Otherwise you will again say that they are a new team and in building stages
I am definitely not going to hope for the same composition or any composition where selection is not based on merit.
What I hope is that our team gets the ârightâ combination. And as I said earlier, if you have the right combination and sufficient opportunites then improvement does happen. If it still doesnât happen then you can rightfully label them whatever you want to.
Re: Bond out of the test series
Except a few players all of them are new to test cricket so it will take time. Give then a few years to prove themselves. Some of these will stick around some might not. Thatâs how you find new talent and rebuild a team.
Re: Bond out of the test series
So whoâs wants to open thread for 2nd test?
Re: Bond out of the test series
So Pak actually did benefit from Bondâs absence
Re: Bond out of the test series
^ so did Kiwis from Akhtarâs absence 
Actually it saved us a lot embarrasment becoz of his âusual-on-tour-off-field-antics/stuntsâ
Where is Game Bhai these days BTW
Yeah, I am sure they benefited from Imran & Wasim Akram;s absence tooâŚ
