Your boys with their pace like fyah have a home W/L ratio 0.05 better than ours. If we're "wanting" at the "top" level, then so are you. If you guys are a top side, then so are we. If we're minnows, so are you.

Even with your pace attack, you guys were found wanting in OUR conditions against OUR spinners. Until and unless you develop quality spinners that will NEVER change.
Well for a start who have BD played at home over the last few years? because since Gibson arrived which was three years ago this is our home fixtures..

South Africa who were ranked 2nd at the time= lost
India who were ranked number one at the time= lost
Pakistan who only lost one test match that year (which was against us) and was ranked 5th= drew 1-1
Australia= just whitewashed India 4-0= lost
NZ= won easily 2-0
Zimbabwe= won easily 2-0

So in essence we played the top sides when our team was still in transition!!..do you honestly think BD would have done as good or better than that? i don't think so my friend!!, and that's not a put down!!..it's just realism.
