Your more memorable Test Match between Bangalore 2005 and Lord's 2016

[GLORY OF '92]

I can't choose. Lord's was such a redemption but Bangalore is up there for me. YK 267 and our bowling in the 2nd innings. Sweet memories.

Lords as there were so many subplots and wider context around the match after what happened previously in 2010.

I felt like I was bowling every ball during that Bairstow-Woakes partnership on Day 4, and appealing for every decision.

That England tour was probably the most fun I've had watching us play Test cricket in years. The matches ebbed and flowed, some superb individual performances, great crowds and obviously the results for us.

Bangalore was very special too, YK and Inzy's partnership and Balaji's cap getting knocked off lives long in the memory.

Banglore because Tendulkar choked again just like Chennai.

 

[A.A.Z]

Bangalore 2005 was similar to Oval 2016, we came from behind to draw an epic series in both games with Younis Khan double centuries.

Lord's 2016 was something else altogether with the return of Amir, Misbah's hundred along with his push up celebration, Yasir's ten wickets, Amir cleaning up the tail, and the push up celebration by the whole squadron led by Sergeant Major Younis Khan. It was the day of redemption we deserved after Lord's 2010.

Lord's 2016.

 

[pakistanigoneaussie]

given the context, Abu Dhabi 2012 gave me the most joy

 

[Last Monetarist]

Lord's definitely because of the unforgettable personal experience of being at the home of cricket and watching Pakistan win.

Chennai '99 is still my favourite ever Pakistan test win though.

 

[dildildalwalla]

Lord's for me. Sadly I didn't manage to get tickets for any of the days but I watched almost all of it on TV and it caught the imagine of all sports fans, English, Pakistani or other. From the push up celebrations and salute (copied on The Masters) to Shah's brilliance and the flummoxed English batsmen all the way to the brilliant fans who fell in love with a Pakistan side for the first time in over a decade. It all combined in such a perfect manner...oh and the weather was great too.

Bangalore was special too, it has to be but the story of redemption, of the lone rangers riding in from the wilderness and pitching up tent, challenging the status quo and the expected drubbing on foreign soil was just too special. After the Ashes 05, Pak v Eng 2016 was the best test series to watch.

Bangalore 2005

Bangalore 1986/87 <--- yes i am old, but the first Test series victory against Indian in India with Gavaskar batting till the end is one sweet memory of my childhood

 

[Kianig89]

YEs Abu Dhabi 2012 we bundled England for 71

 

[khurram39]

Vs Sri lanka chasing 300+ runs.

 

[Pak_lover6]

Karachi 2006 when Irfan Pathan took a hat-trick and we won the match thanks to K Akmal hundred.

That match was amazing. Kamran with one of the greatest innings in cricket history, followed by Asif announcing himself in style.

Out of the two in the OP, it's got to be Lords by a country mile.

Why?

Because Ian Botham.

[silentkiller187]

Bundling England out for 71 when they were chasing 130 odd, you could hear shock and disappointment in the voices of the English commies

 

[msb314]

Definitely Bangalore - to win a Test match and draw level the series in India will always be unmatched!

Do not care for "redempton of 2010" or any of that nonsense.

That 2005 series vs. India was one of the best I have seen. Great cricket all round!

 

[Arsalan Pro]

Pakistan vs England at Lords in 2016.

 

[Napa]

I don't know, tough to choose between Multan 2004 and Rawalpindi 2004. The first had Shewag blasting a triple, while the second had Dravid only scoring 270 and winning the series for India. Then again, the first one had SRT 194*, it is really tough to choose.

Oh, you were asking about B'Lore or Lords, sorry wrong thread then

Afridi getting Tendulkar, so 2005 for me, very important wicket and the memories come flooding back

What's so special about Lords 2016??
