Pakistan climbed-up to 5th in ICC Test Ranking

After winning Mobilink Cup series against Sri Lanka, Pakistan shared 5th position with Sri Lanka in ICC Test Ranking. Pakistan now has 99 points with Sri Lanka.
Followed is the Official ranking of ICC but the list is not updated as it is updated till November 7th, 2011.
Keep it remember that top four test teams will play ICC World Test Championship in 2013.

Pakistan win Mobilink Jazz Cup Test series

Team Pakistan doubles the joy of Pakistani nation after winning the Sharjah test as they are celebrating Eid Ul Adha. Pakistan won the Mobilink Jazz Test series 1-0. Pakistan beat Sri Lanka after waiting about 6 years in Test Arena. Pakistan managed to win over Sri Lanka after 6 years. The series of 2 won by Pakistan by 1-0




Sharjah Test wrapped up with a Draw

On the eve of 4th day of Sharjah test, Sri Lanka were planning that they will set a reasonable target to Pakistan and will ask them to have their turn and try to bowled them up to level the series but the what we saw on the start of the last day of the test, drizzling at Sharjah ruined Lanka's plan.
Day begun after about 2 hours delay. Sri Lanka declared their second innings on 181/6 and give Pakistan target  of 255 within 61 overs. This fall of wickets will make it easy for you to understand how strongly Sri Lanka come up to dismissed Pakistan side within 61 overs to clinch victory
1-20 (Mohammad Hafeez, 4.6 ov 2-30 (Azhar Ali, 13.2 ov 3-57 (Younis Khan, 26.5 ov),4-77 (Taufeeq Umar, 41.1 ov)
But It was comfortable for Pakistan in the end, with Shafiq and Misbah stonewalling 16 overs in the fading light. Misbah even shared a light-hearted moment with Sangakkara as the match wound down, jokingly imitating a left-hand batsman.

Majeed first: Judge does not accept basis of plea, says he kept majority of cash, his corruption goes wider than no-balls. Here's a couple of your emails.

"Only imprisonment will suffice," says the Judge. The Pakistani cricketers will be jailed.

Mr Justice Cooke has begun, with a predictable line: "This is not cricket." Continues: "You have let down all supporters of the game. The image and integrity of cricket has been damaged. Your motive was greed, despite the legitimate rewards on offer in salaries and prize money."
