Yes but it must be put into context.
By themselves the stats prove nothing.

5. We beat New Zealand twice in 2012 to win a series.
6. We faced England in a 3 test series in 2012. We drew one game and lost 2.
7. We faced Australia in a 3 test series in 2012. We drew one game and lost 2.

That's some sorry reading.
I remember that Pakistan test - dem mudlanders prepared a terrible pitch and Sammy was man of the match.

By that reasoning one can say that the Zimbabweans prepared a terrible pitch when the Paks lost.

No. The scores in that match were:
WI 226 and 152
Pakistan 160 and 178.
In Pak 1st innings Sammy took 2 for 16 in 12 overs.
In Pak 2nd innings Sammy took 5 for 29 in 17 overs.
20 of the 40 wickets fell to LBW and I think it broke the test record for most LBWs but let me check

Cozier say:
After this test it took awhile before anyone dared question Sammy's inclusion in the test side.
