Which site is it , cricketnext? I first visited it during WC when they were the official website and thought it was very good but after that realised what it was after some stupid biased articles during Indi-NZ series and then Ind-Aus tests. Haven't checked it afterwards but it is the only one which i can think of which will write those type of articles.FRAZ said:
Pakistan never does act like a team. There were rumours of Shoaib wanting captaincy recently and there are usually changes right frm the captaincly to the players. Its good Inzy has been appointed captain for a long period now but if I were to chose a team it would be India for this very reason, they play like one on the field unlike Pakistan who are brilliant one day and average on another (they won the test series in nzl but lost the one dayers)warrioryohannan said:

And India lost both the test series and Onedayers in NZ, so indeed they were consistent at something!Pratyush said:
Why do all Pakis suffer from Selective Dementia ? You conveniently forgot the 89 Test Series in Pakistan. Or do you mean to say that Pakistanis play as a Unit only when they win ? Btw AFAIK - 99 Series was a 1-1 draw, Wasn't it ? Pakistan won most of the time because it was the better team, It had the better bowling attack and it was led by Imran Khan. It has nothing to do with 'Pakistani players Unite and give their best when they play against India' BS. Are you suggesting that Pakistani players do not give their best against Bangladesh & England or for that matter any other country ?warrioryohannan said:
Indian team is definately doing better than before, It has won Test matches in WI,Eng, Zim, Aus and that's an improvement by our standards. Earlier we used to lose test matches & Series, now we are at least able to draw. As far as Pakistan's performance goes - Dont even go there. A country which has not won a single test series in WI,Australia in last 55 years, and has not won a Test Series against Australia since 1994. India has reached finals of most of the tournaments it has played in recent times so 'Yes' we are consistent. As for our Rank - Well take a better look - we are moving up, You are moving down. And not to forget we have not played many Series against Bangladesh in recent times

First of all i'm an Indian and please refrain from using such language otherwise i will retaliate in future.Sanz said:
Sorry, it might be an improvement by ur standard, but by my standard drawing a series against Zimb and Eng, and winning a test match against WI is hardly praise worthy.Sanz said:

You mean thats matter to YOU, coz in "US" lots of people are included and they all don't share ur views!Sanz said:
Oh !! Must be one of those Indians who still cheer for Pakistan.warrioryohannan said:
I never said Imran was the captain in 99. I said Most of the times Pakistan won because it was led by a better captain and it had better bowling attack. As far as 'Pulling up the Socks' is concerned, It seems more like your personal belief than a fact. I just wonder why they unite enough in world cup matches against India. Do they forget to 'pull their socks up' in the world cup ?
No, It is australia(not Pak) which brings the best out of Indian players.
Is Dhanraj a Cricket Player ? It's funny that you mentioned his name here.and No, I dont see any extra effor by any Indian player in an India-Pak game.
No, but i'm not one of those either who fall's in Amit's category and degrade others who doesn't share their views.
I said BOTH teams plays their heart out while playing each others, giving ur best shot doesn't necessarily means that you are going to win the game!
I mentioned Dhanraj name coz all Indians players carries the same emotions.Forget Dhanraj, even Sachin Tendukar is on record saying that he Wasn't able to sleep for some 11 nights before the India -Pak WC game.The fact that players were suffering from Insomnia means something.
