... to put things in perspective on this interval scale, for Pak to move up only one spot, it needs 8 points but for India to move up 3 spots, there's the same 8 points difference.
I’m not being negative… I just mentioned a fact that we were number 3, I didn’t say that we’ll decline or anything like that. I’m sure we’ll take a flight upwards from here on as our bowling strength is increasing though our opening is still in trouble but very hopefully in India series all will be set :k:
You didn’t have to disclose your salary :o … its just the sad state of economy.

Prediction time,:k:
Batting = Yoyo has technical flaws in his batting. He will be out via good stumping off Kumble U C
Inzi has different flaws of late cutting an UP delivery + inswinging dipper = LBW
apart from others - if these 2 Gentlemen can some how sort out this they can be great anchors.
Bowling = Pakistan’s bowling problems shall continue in India. specially with Shabir & Umer out.
Shoaib Akhter with Rana Naveed + Sami trio will work wonders. Inshallah.
Considering everything, Pakistan has done pretty well.
New Zealand sounds like a pretty dorky team. Hopefully they will get down to their rightful level in the next year. For '05, SL, Pak and UK should battle it out for positions 2-4.
