the collapse vs nz was due to poor strategy from micky arther his tactics are all beyond understanding..

I think you could include a few other instances where the match did not end in a decision but the team batting fourth lost the plot in the final sessions.

One such instance where Pakistan were involved was a test in india, 2007 if I recall correctly. This game was game two of a three teat series which marked the arrival of Misbah Ul Haq, and his partnership with Kamra akmal.

This was a terrifically boring test with both India and Pakistan scoring 400+ in the first inning and thereafter India set Pakistan an impossible 250+ in under two sessions.

Pakistan prompts lost 8 wickets for 160 odd on a nothing of a pitch. The tormentor was once again - spin.

Seems like the target was 374. If Kumble had been a bit more daring and declared a hundred runs earlier, India would probably have won.

The graphic should say the number of overs because some of these were no way near the 90 over mark
And its costing us 1 test a series.
Some of the above were inexplicable

It was bad light that saved Pak, back then the umps would offer it to the batting side even when spinners were bowling. Though you're right in that Kumble should have declared earlier.

Pretty much most of these would have been due to our batting going into their shells, not scoring runs letting bowlers settle and showing no real value to fight to save or even win a game!
