These performances are one trick pony types - both Lanka and Pak canot beat mighty teams liek India in Tests and ODI as results show in last 3 years - especially in away tours - both these teams are fit to play each other however, as their skills match

Funny you say these things and after reading your comment I thought I look up the Head to Head between Pak & Ind and here are the stats. Not just for the last 3 years but over all. Just because Ind have won a few games in the last 3 years doesnt make them a mighty team.
Tests Played 59 Pak 12 Ind 9 Drawn 38
ODI's Played 117 Pak 68 Ind 45 No Res 4
And that's All Im going to say.
P.s Yousuf is one of the greats. His record speaks for it self!

Man, Your comments are devoid of facts. If you are going to make tall claims, you better back them up with facts and figures! The India team isn't even the Asia champions- SL is. The last time Pakistan and India played in a 50 over game, Pak won in Bangladesh in the Kitply Cup final last year! Right now the might India team is ranked 3rd in the test rankings. They beat Aus at home ( after 4 legends of their team had retired), but lost the away series. They tied South Africa at home but lost the away series. They have mostly defeated teams ranked low than them. They lost to SL at home last year also. They are a good team but hardly great. Just wait till next year when a couple of your legends retire then we'll see where the Indian team really stands! India lost to Pak away but won at home in 2007 after 24 years!!! This was their first home win against Pak after 24 years and don't forget Pak was hit badly by ICL. Again, India have a good team but hardly great and in 2 years time will fall back in the middle of the pack! Please nest time give some facts!!!

Tests Played 59 Pak 12 Ind 9 Drawn 38
ODI's Played 117 Pak 68 Ind 45 No Res 4

The record speaks for itself!!!!

whatever wins sri lanka has acheieved - is because of the Tamil champion Murali - Tamils are massacred in sri lanka now unfortunately

Yousuf Youhana was a great player - Yousuf Mohammed is not that great

muppet

Yousuf is still the same person

since he became Muslim, his performances, totally unrelated as it is, have actually improved . .


i don't understand the deliberate usage of youhana on these boards, recognising him as simply Yousuf would suffice

Unbalanced fan - Please get your facts and figures straight - M Yousaf's record has improved greatly since he changed his name. He scored 1788 runs in a years in 2006 with 9 hundreds!!! Both world records. Please criticize fairly.

Bath Maruwa - What a dumb comment - Spoken like a brown babu ! delusions from your media's hype - Your team is mediocre but I agree you have the best spin machine - and I dont mean cricket ! Sour grapes and stupidity are the other thoughts that come to mind when I read your post.

Sorry I don't tolerate this sort of idiotic and racists posts.

Murali is a Sri Lankan that we all really love.

We had to wipe out your so-called sungod and his gang of killers who enjoy expolding innocent SL civilians in busses and trains.

You'r right,not only Tamils but also thousands of innocent Sinhalese and Muslims were massacred by the same sungod.
