The present Pak team looks like the Indian Team of the 90's playing without any spirit or zeal. Shoib seems to be secluded from the rest of the team and he seems to be getting no support watsoever from the other players. Batsmen are doing their bit to retain theier spots but that is all they are doing. Bowling seems to be spineless and even Shoaib hasn't been able to change it. Fielding,as usual, has been their nemesis. On the contrary, the Indian team seems to be playing with a lot of spirit and character. The seniors are jelling well with the youngsters and are guiding them well which is very important to take the Indian Cricket forward. Although the fielding still leaves a lot to be desired but atleast they are doing the basics well. For a change, India also seems to have a lot of options in the bowling department which has hardly happened in the past. Although both teams are in the state of transition, its very important for the transition to happen in the right way. The faster the Pakistanis learn this from the Indains, the better for them.

Good point. The seniors as well never bother to help Shoaib Malik when the bowlers were being hit all over. I think this Pak team (like the Indian Team about 3 years back) can win only with individual performances NOT as a cohesive unit.
I feel India might win the Test series 2-0 as well.Lets hope it is more competitive than that, for the sake of good cricket viewing.

If you are given a chance to take over the team as Captain, will you go for it?
