Oye! 
Aussies might be afraid of Pakistan for WC 03 :hehe:
PERTH, Australia: Pakistan are the most talented team in world cricket apart from Australia and must be treated with caution, Australian opening batsman Justin Langer said on Monday.
Langer told reporters the world number one team would have to be aware of Pakistan’s unpredictability in next month’s three-Test series. “They are, besides us, the team with the most naturally-talented cricketers, so you always have to be on your guard,” :biggthumb: Langer said at the Perth airport. “What team turns up and what coach turns up, you are never going to know.” 
The series is being staged at neutral venues after Australia refused to tour Pakistan for security reasons. Langer flew out of Australia on Monday in preparation for the series which includes a Test in Colombo followed by two matches in Sharjah. Pakistan are without senior players Wasim Akram and Saeed Anwar, who are resting, and injured pair Inzamam-ul-Haq and Yousuf Youhana.
South Africa-based Richard Pybus, 38, returns as Pakistan coach after the departure of Mudassar Nazar earlier this month. “There are a few disappointments, one that it is not in Pakistan, :teary3: obviously there are reasons for that, but it is always good to play a Test series in home countries,” Langer said. “And I see Wasim Akram, he’s the best fast bowler I have ever played against in Test cricket and he’s not playing so that is disappointing.” :teary3:
Langer, 31, averages 43.95 in his 51 Tests including 12 centuries. The determined left-hander has played only eight One-day Internationals and was overlooked for the ICC Champions Trophy in Colombo, where Australia will play Sri Lanka in Friday’s semifinal.
Returning to the side for the fifth Ashes Test in 2001 after opener Michael Slater was dropped, Langer made 102 retired hurt before averaging 80.00, 73.00 and 30.40 in home series against New Zealand and South Africa followed by one away in South Africa in 2001-02.
