It was 28 years ago when a Pakistani fast bowler took 7 wickets in a Test Inning

[W63L35]

When Sajid Khan took 7 wickets in an innings today - for the 2nd time in his short career, it made me look all the bowler who have taken a 7-wicket haul for Pakistan.

The thing that stood out was .... that last time a fast bowler (Mohammad Zahid) took 7 wickets in an innings was in 1996.

Imran Khan did it 5 times.... more than any Pakistani bowler.

The great Imran Khan

Sarfraz Nawaz 86-9 that too in Melbourne! Unthinkable nowadays

Great post @W63L35 bro, can you please share the similar stats for other full member Test playing nations for a better comparison.

Oh I think I remember hearing about this now, it was lethal reverse swing that skittled them IIRC
Will watch this later today

Thanks... Here is the list for India... but the other teams like Eng, Aus, WI the lists will be very long. I can post the links here... Kapil Dev has done it 5 times... all other Indian pacers combined 6 times.

Thanks brother, a pity for Pakistan pacers.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

now it will take another 28 years to acieve such feat

 

[topspin]

The difference is those bowlers in the 90s could get away with reverse swing from ball tampering. That old recipe doesn't work in the modern game.

You forgot to add 0 in the end

Five 7 wicket hauls for a fast bowler is out of this world. Bumrah could never.

Reverse Swing. Back then no one knew about it.

Got a little Political out there.

Wait for them to tell you it's because the quality of the Indian attack (Siraj ) is so good that he doesn't get a chance to get 7-fers.

Thanks, I infact got around to seeing this yesterday.
Such a shame about the quality though, you can barely see where the ball is most of the time

I saw it today for the first time.

Quality is understandable considering this game took place in 1979.

Indian bowlers don't use bottle caps for ball tempering like Pakistan used to be.

As soon as bottle caps amd home umpire rules ends , Pakistan pacers are becomes useless .

Land of pacers now becomes land of trundlers .

Nah even for 70s footage it's bad. Just seems like it wasn't preserved as well since it's not a very well known moment in cricket. Understandable since people would want to preserve stuff like like the Windies heyday that gets more eyeballs, of which better 70s footage exists.

And the guy with most 7-for , for Pakistan is in jail , in solitary confinement.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Getting 7 fer is good, but three pacers contributing with 3 wickets each is better
Pacers should hunt in pack, Dependency on one pacer is dangerous

Lord Shardul is underrated as batsman and even more underrated as bowler

If I could bet on this response, I would have been even richer than I am now because I predicted this with 100% accuracy.

Just like we can all predict with 100% accuracy that whenever there is some swing on offer, the Indian batsmen will display their 0 skill vs the moving ball.
