Whatever happened to the NO.1 side ? The same English side had blanked out India 4--0 hardly 5-6 months back ! Credit must be given to the Pakistanis for the splendid show especially little after the infamous match fixing row involving their cricketers as also the fact that there is no International cricket played at Home for over 3 yrs now.
If Pak possess good batting line up, they would have been No1 since the time they were into cricket. Because they produce good bowling attack regularly. Pak bowlers bowl consistenly in good areas(on and around center of 6m lenht pitch from the striker stumps) that has seam,bounce,pace,swing,spin. Watch videos of Aamir,Asig,Gul,Ajmal
It was a great game to watch. Looks like punishment for match fixing and having no home matches taught these guys some good lesson. However, I would not read too much into tests played in Dubai. I have a feeling that we will win 4th test at Adelaide as the team has nothing to lose. Also, statistically odds of India losing 7th consecutive test is unlikely.

They already lost 7 consecutive away tests. Someone forgot to tell you it seems.
And we are after our currently not in form players...Except SA no team is good or say evenly matched outside their home condition. Keep faith in the Indian team..Good job Pakistan..
