India remained No.1 Test team for just 5 days – shortest period for any team. In the past, all teams remained No. 1 at least for a month.

UNESCO has just declared Pakistan as the best no.1 cricket team ever. Spread the word.

People who don’t have the nerve to watch test cricket should also not get to flaunt how Pakistan is now no. 1 test team.

Hectic day at office but the news that Pak is No 1 ranked in cricket’s most prestigious format has made my day. Pakistan, Misbah’s Pakistan.

Pakistan officially becomes no. 1 in ICC Test Rankings after India beat West Indies by only 2-0. They’ll be there until mid-October atleast.

I love the way how some journos, who tried their best to have Misbah removed from captaincy, are now celebrating Pakistan’s rise to number 1
