Re: Is Pakistan the 2nd best team in the world? My foot.
Pakistan was 2nd best for sometime, being 2nd best does not mean that you will beat all teams 3 and below every single time, only Australia has been able to maintain it and no one is claiming to be 'close to Australia' yet. I still support my team whether they are 3, 4, 5 or 6 as long as they are a fighting unit. We lost a few champs from ourside in Inzamam, Shoaib, Asif and that just by number is more than 25% while in contribution they make around 50%.
Take away Ponting, Gilchrist, McGrath and you will have a struggling Australian team. So don't be mad just at Pakistan for not being on same scale after losing Inzi, Asif and Shoaib.
