On What basis you put this match in tier-2.....

Just recently,
India- New Zealand series
India- Australia series
England - Pakistan series
South Africa - Pakistan series

How many matches extended to 4 th day....

What were the scores in matches...

In comparison..
You will find, this was a very evenly contested series..
The four series mentioned above...were loop side..

In favour ofN.Z., Australia, Pakistan, South Africa.. respectively...

No issue with 2 tiers, once there is an option to be promoted/demoted.

this win has taken many by surprise, as a heavy defeat was expected 99.99% of de people, coming to terms with it has been difficult given it was orchestrated by a couple of maligned players.

two tiers of cricket will keep the weak teams weak, even with promotion and relegation you go up and immediately it will be back down

What might happen more in two tier cricket is more doctoring of pitches, Pakistan lost a Test against the WI because Warrican was too good for them, but if they play countries like NZ and England on that pitch the results could be very much in their favor.

UNOFFICIALLY.....2 tier has existed for some time now.

When last WI, Pak, SL, or Bang play a 5 test series.....2 or 3 test series is the norm

I must say that like our friend iTito, I'm really enjoying 2nd tier Test cricket.

Away victories in Oz and Pak in the span of 12 months - and against all odds. Exciting matches too with the performance of Shamar in Oz being one for the ages.
