Exactly thats why I 've been laughing all this time :D
Ehsan bhai, its not really a consolation that we are not that bad as the team in 2002, just like you I have no hope from this team which comprises of gang like Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Umar Akmal, Imran Farhat sifarshi. That only leaves 2-3 spots for a batsman. Unfortunately PCB is run by idiots, no rules, no policies, no laws, only u-turns. When country is headed by Zordari, why expect cricket to be run efficiently, professionally?
Who are these other batsmen that you know are better than the lot we have? I'd love to know about them. I am not being sarcastic, I really would like to know the names you want to bring in after throwing the 'sifarshis' out?
me fink alerts should go out to the rest of the test playing countries to sign up to play Pakistan, it'll do wonders for their batting and balling averages. :D
The pitch looks fine when england is batting for some odd reason! lol
Our batsmen are unable to read the ball.

People like Asim Kamal, Hasan Raza. I am sure there are more than enough to replace likes of Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Imran Farhat etc. How did we find out about Umar Akmal? He had a 'connection' (his brother') so he is in.
Asif to Cook, no run, good length delivery on middle and it shapes in a bit, Cook plays down the wrong line and is struck high on the knee roll, huge appeal and the umpire raises his finger, Cook asks for the review, replays suggest it pitched in line and would have gone over the stumps, so the umpire reverses his decision, Cook stays on
After the latest debacle, England might consider giving Pakistan only 2 tests every 4 years and playing the other 4 or 5 tests against a quality test side.

Come'on, they get all the batting practice against one of the top bowling sides and their bowlers get to set new record... what else could one want?

such as Bangladesh. No seriously, I did not follow the BD/England games much but as far as I remember, BD crossed 100 every-time they came out to bat?
If our "young" team keep on performing this well, even BD will prefer Zimbabwe for test games.
No bhai. I wake up and came to work only to check the score with 5 down :)
New Pakistani team has defied the effect of D6C on the match. they can lose it irrespective of me watching or not :)
Guy. I has been appointed as a speech writer for Salman Butt but bara butt. So far I have this. You guys can add more points
1) We are a young team and need some time.
2) Even yousuf and Younus can not do anything
3) We have lost matches with yousuf and younis
4) We need young blood. give this young team some time and we will definitely break record, of lowest record that is.
5) We have won against Aussies after 15 years and we can make some new records too :D

Well we have been in decline as a test team for quite sometime now and our batting has been brittle and inconsistent since atleast 2002/3 with the odd good performance with the bat here and there

You are spot on. However, as soon as we get runs against weak teams on flat decks, our media, our fans, and the PCB starts praising our team to the moon and back.
Nobody seems to remember that we have been a pathetic batting unit since 1999. As soon as we come across South Africa, Australia, England and even India - we cannot handle their bowlers.
First people used to say, Pakistanis cannot handle bounce, then it became bounce and pace, then you can add swing and seam, then the all important word...preassure. As in, give them a flat deck and put some preassure and they will STILL find a way to crumble.
Its sad to see great bowlers bowl their heart out for our batters to screw up each time.
