Re: Pakistan vs South Africa 1st Test Match 2013
I will have a heart attack today for sure..waleed agreeing to PD!
but seriously, this ranking game is a bit too much now
ICC needs to be transparent. if i were sethi, i would pose some simple questions?
how come Aus/India/England/SA keep on getting 3, 4 or 5 test match series but Pak/NZ/SL/WI usually get 2 -match series? why? we need a clear policy..no more bul****
how come Pak gets a 3 or even a 4 test match series when we visit Aus or SA or england in alien conditions but when they visit us on our home ground, we always get a 2 test match series? why? that is a huge disadvantage to us…we also want to beat SA 3/0 at UAE to better our record.
we played Aus last time in 2010 and lost 3/0..how come Aus did not play against us at UAE since then? where is the home series against them so that we can better our record?
why England and india playing so many matches at home especially england? change the rule..a home win shd be worth 50% or 75% vs an outside home win.
and the list goes on and on
and then i will say that keeping in mind the points that i raised above and by the way looking at some of the numbers (that I had elaborated in my original post - how India lost 8/0, England lost to us 3/0, aussies lost 4/0 to india blah blah), can you please help me understand why are we No 6/7 and they are No 1/2/3 ?
I have raised the exact point on pakpassion. **England regularly play 7 tests at home during the Summer **which is a huge advantage to them in terms of the rankings!
