Currently, Pakistan holds the record of remaining unbeaten for most number of matches at home. Pakistan achieved this feat from 1980-1986, when they went 26 consecutive test matches unbeaten at home. In 1980, they lost to West Indies, and their unbeaten run at home was also broken by the West Indies in 1986.

So the question is can any other team in cricket break this record in the future ?
 
What is australis of 90s and 2000s record?

I think in todays cricket it is much more possible to have such record as every team is a backyard bully.

What is Indias record?

India's record is 20 matches, I think from 2012-2017. In 2012 they lost to England, their unbeaten run was broken by Australia in 2017.

Australia's record is 25 matches from 2003-2008. In 2003, they lost to India, then their unbeaten run was broken again by India, when Australia lost to them at Perth in 2008.
 
Its tough but can be broken . India and Australia are the only two teams which looks likely or has ammunations to break it.

We should thank India :yk because they prevented Australia from equaling Pakistan's record, when they beat them at Perth in 2008, otherwise Australia was 25 matches unbeaten from 2003-208.
 
India, currently is at 14 match unbeaten streak, so 12 more to go for leveling Pakistan's record. Tough but not impossible.
 
[MENTION=150610]tyron_woodley[/MENTION] Do you see Virat's India breaking Pakistan's record, given that they are goat home bullies?
 
I think India can but it depends if bewda Kohli choose the right players ofocurse. India is now rebuilding again as many players are injured. I believe India can. Let's see.

26 is pretty damn impressive. Wow. I din't believe Imran Khan's team....oh wait this includes draws hey?

Still good though. But they played in an era riddled with draws.

These days temas play in a result oriented era. Need to factor that in too bro.
 
If any team was to do it, it would be india as it faces no competition from asian sides. Whereas Austrailia can easily be beaten by England or Southafrica in their own backyard.

Last two Ashes series in Australia ended 5-0 and 4-0 respectively. South Africa seem to be in a rapid decline. Not sure it's as easy as you're making it sound
 
A GOAT home test team is the one that wins the most number of tests at home.

Kohli has total 22 test wins at home only and still counting. On other hand, Imran had a meagre total of 14 test wins including all home, away, neutral, on Earth or outside Earth, counting all of them.

Different eras really. Today matches give results 9 time off 10 unless it rains or its a patta. Back in IK time it was 5/10 at best
 
Home conditions are the biggest advantage in the modern game.

You can have the weakest team on the planet and make a pitch to suit your strengths to take down larger teams.

This is something Pakistan needs to use to its advantage whenever we have a home series. The point is not for the series to be enjoyable, its for us to win by any means necessary. That's the reason that all of the teams mentioned above have such good home records, they are willing and able to create pitches that suit their strengths and create chances for breakthroughs against oppositions.

With South Africa on the way, Pakistan should be only considering creating dust bowls or pitches that are very condusive to spin bowling, something South Africa will struggle against. South Africa don't have good options for spin bowling, and I would even recommend going into the test matches with two spinners if possible, Yasir Shah and Zafar Gohar.

However, our management will probably think along different lines and produce a pitch to support our quicks, an entirely pathetic idea considering that South Africa has a much better fast-bowling attack.

Pakistan's unbeaten streak had 15 wins and 11 draws I think, which is great for that era. If you look at W/L ratios of Pakistan at home in 1980's and India at home in 2010's they are remarkably similar.

Are you sure about this? I think India have won over 30 tests at home in 2010s and lost 3 at home( 2 vs England and 1 vs Australia) in 2010s decade.

For Kohli alone, he has lost only one test and won 21-22 tests at home. That is a W/L of 21-22. If Pakistan has 15 wins at home in that unbeatable streak, that's impressive.

India's W/L ratio at home in 2010's = 9.25

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...anval1=span;team=6;template=results;type=team

Pakistan's W/L ratio at home in 1980's = 8.5

https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/e...anval1=span;team=7;template=results;type=team

So not much of a difference.
 
Australia and India are the most difficult teams to beat at home. I wouldn't be shocked if 1 of those teams broke this record.

Hahaha. Ratio. Get the hell out of here.
Wins losses draws. That matters.

3 points for win. Winning is everything.

Draw you get Uno

Loss 0.

Accha. Tekay. You can do your Chamakh Challo now.

Actually I looked at some of the players in 80s era from India. ROFL. What an era hah.
Yet many of the tests between both teams were very competitive. 500 plus was like a norm.

GOAT Australian team couldn't break this record so I doubt that current Australia can, but Virat's team is the goat home bully and has a good chance seeing they are 14 matches undefeated currently, if they don't loose a match in their next series against England, they will go to 18 matches unbeaten. From there, who knows they can break it.

Australia are more than capable of beating as they are always strong at home.
 
Karachi is the real fortress.
Unreal Domination at that ground by Pakistan
 
Seems my posts have disappeared, I was going to quote the poster who said India would do it easily.

Anyway, some of the more patriotic posts here may not age well.
