Can Pakistan compete in Test matches in Australia and New Zealand?

I'm optimistic we can beat NZ, at least a drawn series.

Let us remind people it's been 30 plus years we haven't lost a series to them.
However they are no pushovers and will be a good contest.

Aus will be a much tougher contest as it's always mentally been much tougher with a more hostile environment. I can def see Pak winning a Test but not sure if we can do any better than that.

End of the day it will be all down to preparation - go there as early as possible with the strongest bowling possible. A fast bowling all rounder is a must.

NZ will be absolutely annihilated to the point where we consider Ireland replacing their Test status, the series in Australia will be drawn.

As I said before, the England series - where we got lucky because of the favorable pitches and weather conditions - will give us false hopes for the Australian series but some people got offended.

Now after disregarding Kohli's performance in Australia because of flat pitches, the challenge for Pakistani fans is to defend their batsmen by calling this pitch lively, but at the same time explain how our brilliant bowling attack allowed Australia to score 400+.

It is a similar challenge to how they have to disregard Ashwin for taking wickets on Indian rank-turners but at the same time, disregard Kohli's runs because they are on flat tracks.
