On this day 1982. Imran Khan ended with match figures of 14-116 at Lahore versus Sri Lanka. The figures remain the best ever in Tests by a Pakistani. 6 of the dismissals were bowled.
Australia is one team that is always going to come hard at you and in T20s, we respond back.
Twice we have scored 190+ against them, taken 10 wickets numerous times and also chased 160+. Our general demeanor in this format against them has been very positive and aggressive.
Why can't we replicate that in the other formats?
It's been more than a decade since we played Tests against them in our conditions so it remains to be seen. However, in ODIs, we simply don't display the same attitude.
We have lost 2 back to back ODI series to them in the UAE inexcusably thanks to some labored cricket.
Do you think our success in T20s against them will help us overcome the mental block that presumably exists in the other formats?
I think we all know by now that a win by the Aussies will throw this group in a disaray so which team you Pakistan fans rooting for? Your bitter rival who's dominance you can't break in world cups or a Aussie team which has treated Pakistan like a minnow specially in test cricket. Hard choice I must say, do you go with pride and cheer for the Aussies or you swallow it and back India?
Both the brothers love the ball coming onto the bat. They have envious record against Aus, SA and NZ in this format.
