Is Pakistan England's bogey team in Tests?

[Joseph Gomes]

Since 2010, Pakistan have played 9 matches in England. Won 4, Lost 5. Win loss ration is 0.8, which is very high for an SC team.

Only South Africa has a better W/L ratio against England in last 10 years (11 match, 5 wins, 4 loss, ratio 1.25).

Teams by W/L ratio against England in England in last 10 years. Link: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/en...an;template=results;type=team;view=opposition

1. SAF - 1.25

2. Pak - 0.80

3. Aus - 0.375

4. SL - 0.333

5. NZ - 0.25

6. WI - 0.166

7. Ind - 0.142

8. Ban - 0.00

Why is England getting humiliated by Pak again and again? It would be less shameful if they lost this much to Aus and NZ. What gives?

Why is it so shameful to loose to Pakistan?
Useless rankings don’t matter.
When Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka, it wasn’t embarrassing!!

It's shameful because Pakistan is from Subcontinent, not SENA. Pakistani players don't play on bouncy/green pitches with overcast conditions regularly. Losing to a team who are unfamiliar with the conditions is pretty shameful.

Good point. But I’m sure India will play like a Subcontinent team when they come to England. It won’t be shameful then.

Not really. At the moment everyone is England bogey team!

I said it... initially even before the test,when it was asked for prediction of the series not taking credit away from Pak, but Eng has a mental block against PCT and PCT always come alive in England.
