Lord's May 2018 - Where does it rank in Pakistan's best ever Test performances?

[Saj]

Lord's has been spoken of as an outstanding and complete performance by many. Geoffrey Boycott said on radio it was the best performance he has ever seen by a Pakistan Test team. Michael Vaughan and Nasser Hussain have also paid a lot of compliments to Sarfaraz Ahmed's team.

Where does this win at Lord's rank amongst Pakistan's best ever Test performances?

 

[QuickCrick]

Definately up there.. It’s the most complete in a longtime, every player played a part which was really satisfying.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Quality wise, it is right up there at the top. Do not remember Pakistan dominating a test overseas like this before against a decent team.

Emotion wise, nothing beats Lord's 2016. There was so much uncertainty over that team and whatever they had achieved in the UAE.

 

[Asch Ali]

I rank it at 29th best performance.

The top performance was:

PAK v AUS, 2nd Test at Leeds in 2010.

Bangalore 2005 is at the very top. Pretty hard to beat that performance.

 

[PakSarZameen]

This was the definition of what you could call a complete performance.

Pakistan are so full of drama that a clinical performance like this one probably does not rank as highly with its supporters.

 

[hur rizvi]

One of the most clinical overseas performances by us in England since 1996

One of the better test wins for Pakistan in recent years. I would rank this even better than the 2016 one. The reason being that Pakistan is an inexperienced team and all said and done, the England squad had a fully fit Anderson and Broad. Cook, Bairstow and Root were playing as well. So compared to the Pakistan side the English team was way more experienced.

In terms of quality, it's up there. Our team was so inexperienced and we were being written off by everyone and this England side was relatively strong. Cook, Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Buttler, Broad, Anderson are all world-class players.

Despite all of that, we absolutely dominated that. Our fielding was amazing, our bowling was amazing and our batting was amazing. We won all but one session. Clinical performance

 

[The Googly]

10 sessions in the test match.

England won the post tea session on Saturday very clearly.

Pakistan won the remaining 9 sessions by a country mile.

In terms of completely dominating a top test nation away from home, I don’t think there have been any better performances from any country in the last 20 years. Think about it - it’s not as exaggerating as it sounds.

 

[Markhor]

I don't know about ranking but it's certainly one of the best Test wins in England.

There's been a lot of famous wins in England like Headingley 1987, Lords and The Oval in 1992, 1996 and 2016 and Old Trafford in 2001.

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Quality wise right at the top.
