Remember what I posted just before the test series between Pakistan and England got underway?
This article was all about what the test series meant for Pakistan cricket, and how it was all about showing the doubters that we are not only good at beating lesser sides, but are one of the best test teams around.
It still hasn't sunk in that Pakistan have not only won the 2nd test, but also won the series; if that is how I am feeling then I can't even begin to imagine what all those critics and doubters would be
