Also shows how much Misbah has contributed in creating a brilliant test side. #legend

i bet he's a purist and values it ahead of the other forms of the games; let's hope he leaves a legacy.

would be great to see this team in england next year + amir.
 
When was the last time Pakistan won an away Test match excluding Bangladesh ?
 
SriLanka cheating by using more than the allowed number of fielders.
 
When was the last time pakistan had so many batsmen who average 40 plus

Shehzad
Azhar
Misbah
younis
asad
sarfraz
 
All this talk of bringing back Ajmal hopefully should stop now. Yasir is developing nicely.

Players like Yasir and Wahab are great additions to Pakistan. They both are modern day cricketer, can bat, good fielders, play with energy. They can become 20-25 runs chip in batsmen, which translates to 100+ from tail. That adds another dimension to team. Amir is another such player in the waiting.


Now hopfully all three Sarfraz, Wahab and Yasir are settle in the team no moe insecurities of spot. This builds good team, they are fully of positive energy, different from sort of dull pragmatic personality of Misbah. Welcome change and start of new era in Pakistan cricket. Azhar Ali is level head person, looks like things are shaping up, Pakistan team is developing actually better than most. Let's hope process continues. Think tank focus should be openers, which is weakest link.

against zimbabwe in 2013 i guess and before that against NZ or WI in 2011.

Yeah just found out that excluding Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, this will be our first Test victory away from home since May 2011 against West Indies.

Infact in this decade we've only won 3 times in 17 attempts vs the other top 7 teams away from home - The Oval 2010, Hamilton 2010/11 and Bassetere 2011.

Hopefully today is a step forward in improving this pretty awful record.

I am pretty sure we won against SL in 2006.
 
Wao. What a turnaround of the match.Superb steel character shown by Pakistan

oh I am sorry , I took a decade as last ten years.

Yep, remember that game. But in this decade, you can count our away Test wins against the top sides on one hand.

God I hope we win this series. It would be a massive boost given the hard away tours we have next year.

Against australia in england though it was a neutral venue but definitely it suited asutralia more.
 
Judaism khan is weak link in bowling. Is Rahat fit? He is better choice if available.

Other seamers needs to learn from Wahab, try to be better athlete, it's not just for better fitness to be better fast bowler.

This is Shehzad batting when he has a fearless approach. He was like this in U19 and can still be like this if always given a licence to attack. Quality batting.
 
Ahmed cant play spin? Talk nah. :)))
Haters owned.

Well he isn't under any pressure and thus is throwing caution to the wind. The real test of ability is under pressure. He almost got out during the third attempt anyway.
 
Herath who? And even most optimistic die hard pak team fan could not have even dreamed that we would do this chase this easily?
 
Shehzad and Hafeez securing their places for the next match.

Shehzad avg around 45 he wont lose his place just because of 1 match and hafeez have been good too with bat and his off spin is also vital for us

Yada yada. Typical hate filled post. Come on man. Learn to appreciate.
 
This should go down as one of our greatest test victory in the last decade...especially to turn it around from 96/5 at the end of day 3 is simply Pakistan for u..

Dean Jones with a hell of a stat :))

Pakistan on course to have most Test wins out of Asian teams with 123, India have 122 :P
 
Shehzad will post on twitter tonight showing his anger over not given man of the match for the superb knock ;)
 
Pakistan one up from India in test wins...[emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
