What's the highest chase in Test cricket history?

Even in ODIs, we lose to the top teams 8 out of 10 times. This new generation have won only one ODI against top 8 teams in the last 12 months.
"We"? Are you a Pakistan fan or India fan as your flag is Indian and your venue says India?

We knew that batting was an issue but the bowling has been a big issue as well. Very disappointed with the bowlers.
158 runs.Shan 65,Azhar 32
I am ripping into specialist captain but our bowling has not been good enough. If you can't get wickets at least keep it tight. We can't even do that. Serious questions need to be asked for the bowlers on this tour.
If we keep playing mediocre players that is what will happen. Recently, when seniors have stepped aside we have found the likes of Shadab, Hassan Ali, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman. All of whom have performed well for us. If the likes of Azhar, Asad, Hafeez and kaptaan are kicked out we'd find better replacement. I'm not saying worldclass but at least a team of good players who can fight and grow together.
418 I think.What's the highest chase in Test cricket history?

Okay done deal. Easy win, just need a big partnership and a couple big scores from batsmen. Wicket is not too bad.418 I think.
Pakistan scored 450 when the target was 490 against Australia 2016. Shafiq scored a ton
Both Shadab and Hasan have tailed off and Fakhar is getting exposed. They are pretty much mediocre players how, and one Babar is not enough to redeem things.
We talk about mediocre players, but the next generation players are mediocre as well. Young players doing well initially and then getting exposed has been a common theme for years.
I really don’t think there is any combination of XI players in the country that can take us to the top 3 in Tests and ODIs.
In these conditions, losing by 7-8 wickets and 200+ runs is utterly embarrassing.
A series between South Africa and India, England, New Zealand and even Australia on these pitches will be much more competitive.
And we were told that this team has surpassed expectations. We have hardly won two sessions in succession.
This whitewash is much worse than the 2013. At least we pushed them to the limits in Cape Town.
Shadab gets Kok - this should have been the tactics after lunch straight way & I can't blame Sarfraz here after a break. He & his Coach had 40 minutes to discuss ...... and they opened with Abbas!!!!!
Fakhar scored 88(88) and 65(77) in his last 2 ODIs against pretty much full strength NZ attack.
Has anyone noticed one BEAUTIFUL thing of SAF cricket? Styen is fit and no way Rabada is a better batsman than him - but KR is the future & they have promoted him ahead of Styen in order.
Sarfaraz is tactically poor & Coach none too impressive .
Abbas is unfit - I haven't seen a single ball of BPL so far, but I can say JK is fitter than Abbas; so your CS can give better explanation. Amir has bowled exceptionally - so fay 36 overs at 2.7 in J'burg out-field and has taken 4 wickets. Fahim has exceeded expectation and only Hasan is disappointing, but apart from one fan here, don't think anyone expected him to do well on bouncy, fast tracks for his bowling style & his height. Left is Shadab, who is there for his batting - still statistically has done better than Yasir with ball & at per with Yasir with bat.
The game was screwed for 185 - the earlier you realize it better, otherwise your CS'll drop Amir & Abbas to fix bowling.
Rabada 'is' a better batsman than Steyn. It's not 2013 anymore.
Great bowling by Shadab & Faheem - 5 wickets for 83 runs. All-rounders did their job, genuine bowlers let them down.
Make it 6 for 83. Absolutely tremendous.
Alright tell me who is a better batsman currently? MSD or Shai Hope ?
SIR [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] What can be expected of the ODI and T20 SERIES. Your prediction plz, coz u have been spot on with ur predictions. And also I want to know what are the factors that makes you so spot on with your predictions.
[MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION] pick of the bowler was Aamir for pak and Shahin upto some extent. HasaanAli should only focus on LOI.
A lot of criticism going on for Junaid being dropped [MENTION=79064]MMHS[/MENTION].
10th catch for Sarfraz, along with a 50. Done well enough to keep his spot as specialist WK - hopefully now he'll step down from Test Captaincy (preferably from ODI as well).
So far no demons.
Who you is think is capable of captaining from this mediocre lot?
That's a deflecting question - just like in BD Politics, Awamileaguers are trying to cover up for the rigging of mankind's history of voting - who is better than Sheikh Hasina?
I ask you an equally ackward question then - why Misbah was cursed for 5 years as ODI Captain then?
