But UAE is their home from last 10 years:tongue:

Well, theoritically only last 10 years, but practically Sharjah was their home since mid '80s. Every April and November, Sharjah used to host a triangular series. Except few occasions, Pak presence was must. Sharjah is the venue, which boosted Pak superiority over India in ODI.

I have different opinions about Rohit Sharma's batting. But he is better captain than Kohli in ODI and T20. Last match against AFG he run to the ground and talk with Jaddu before final over.
