Pakistan have come from behind...Stats and trivia<br /><br /><br /><br />Pakistan have come from behind to win a three-Test series only once before, against Zimbabwe in 1994-95.<br /><br /><br /><br />Danish Kaneria has become the highest wicket-taking spinner for Pakistan with 238 wickets, heading the illustrious trio of Abdul Qadir (236), Saqlain Mushtaq (208) and Mushtaq Ahmed (185). Kaneria is now fourth on Pakistan's list of highest Test wicket-takers.<br /><br /><br /><br />New Zealand haven't yet won a Test in Napier, but it's been their best batting venue at home. Since 2000, they've scored six centuries in five Tests, which includes one match when they didn't get to bat at all.Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788388194637445444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187231647477079619.post-70374673790834078062009-12-10T16:29:49.582+00:002009-12-10T16:29:49.582+00:00Good Luck Greens !Good Luck Greens !Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17788388194637445444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187231647477079619.post-18508538649999384172009-12-10T16:29:19.128+00:002009-12-10T16:29:19.128+00:00The test match is a decider.

I expect Misbah & Malik to score better like they usually do on flat tracks. Pakistan has a slight advantage in both departments but test matches are won by bowlers and we all know that Pakistani bowlers have the capability to take 20 wickets under any conditions, the only thing they should worry about is that there won't be many chances given to them hence they need to take there catches.<br /><br />As far as the captaincy issue is concerned, it seems that Afridi has not made his fans or the selectors happy by refusing to play test cricket. Such is the nature of Pakistan cricket that they can't afford two different captains for the two major formats, lets hope that this lightens up Afridi's mind & he makes a come back to test cricket. Younis Khan has been behaving very strange as of late, he didn't show up for his team's QEA Trophy match because he was gone for fishing, that didn't did him any favor & its good that he is dropped from the Australia tour. Lets hope he starts worrying about his fishing outside the off stump & starts some practice before people writes him off, because we don't want a new Shoaib Akhtar.HRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05320841834614516493noreply@blogger.com
