Test against New Zealand. I believe he took 11 wickets in that match. Personally never saw his bowling

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

safaraz nawaz invented reverse swing and took 7 wickets for 1 run against australia

Details: Pakistan in Australia. 1978-79. 1st of two tests. Melbourne. Mushtaq Mohammad the skipper. Australia, a depleted side wihtou those who opted to play for Kerry Packer (Greg Chapell, Lillee, Marsh, et al). Pakistan declared second innings to set Australia 382 to win. They were coasting at 305/3.

According to an interview I read, Pakistan, at this stage, was desperate. Nothing was working. Not even any rain clouds in sight. And then Sarfaraz Nawaz started his magical run, where Australia collapsed from 305/3 to 310 all out. He took all seven wickets, off 33 deliveries, while conceding a single run. He finished with 9/86 - the best bowling by a Pakistani, until, I think, bettered by Abdul Qadir's 9/56 against England at home in 1987-88.

This was Pakistan's first test victory in Australia.

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Another interesting fact: There was a time, in January 1983, when there were only a handful of players with 2+ ODI hundreds to their credit. Glenn Turner (New Zealand), Vivian Richards and Gordon Greenidge (West Indies), Greg Chappell (Australia), Dennis Amiss (England) and Zaheer Abbas (who had the most: 5).

Among Zaheer's hundreds was a series of three consecutive hundreds against India, at home, in 1982-83. In addition to his centuries, he also had three scores in 90's: 97 (vs SL in 1975 world cup), 93 (vs WI in 1979 World cup) and 95* (vs WI at home in 1980-81).

Pretty amazing, eh?
