@FIZ
Boys handwork under Afridi leadership is favoring us not the luck. Do not try to undermine the efforts of the boys. Pakistan's better play and recent winning steak has put them in a place to try for No I spot in near future. Their 120 points in a highly competitive environments speak for themselves. It has placed them above the team of Amla, ABD, Dhoni, Kohli, Smith, Watson etc. It was Australia's defeat which placed them behind Pakistan and not luck.
The boys should not be complacent and have to be on their toes as all the teams on edge with small margin of difference in points.
Well-done boys.

@sandeep Why would we need anybody's help to climb up the rankings. Stop crying, Pakistan has been the most successful T20 and Test team over the last 4-5 years, and now the ODI team is showing signs of improvements.

Great work, soon you will be No.1 in T20 and in the top 3 for Test, Some more work required in the ODI's, but i can see them climb to 4-5 in 12 month.
