Ketchim: Was Pak ever A Minnow in Test Cricket? - mapoui - 12-30-2013
you know my opinion...by the numbers they were not. deh were beating teams from the start. competitive from the word go

The never were but when the Rev numbers gets all eschewed he will make wild statements re,. Pakistan being minnows with no numbers to back him up
Re: Ketchim: Was Pak ever A Minnow in Test Cricket? - Kwami - 12-30-2013
I will say this though .
When the Westindies were dominant for the better part of 15 years .... all test teams were minnows in front of them

Rev may be alluding to this Game where Garry made that record 365 in Jamaica !
Fall of wickets : 1-87 (Kanhai), 2-533 (Hunte), 3-602 (Weekes)

yes..but in that test Paks bowlers got injured and were reduced to literally 2. so hunte ands sobers killed them...and west indies won the series handily.
but look by the end of it what was happening! Pak was running into form and beating the west indies..which they continued to do next year, despite some bad decisions Sobers got from some home 'empires'

if you look at the bowling stats you will see that Muhammad Hussain bowled just 5. something overs. he got injured and took no further part.
Nasim Ghani was just 15 or 16 years old and bowled only 15 overs. he too was gone and injured.
3 bowlers shared the bowling: Khan, Fazal and Kardar the captain...but Fazal in particular

Rev can interpret those 5 Tests and the return match up Away :
Am sure he will adjust his Conclusions
Re: Ketchim: Was Pak ever A Minnow in Test Cricket? - mapoui - 12-30-2013
you see..those are the facts behind the numbers that the Rev ignores.
we can put an * behind Sobers 365...but that takes nothing away from Sobers otherwise. Pak got caught in a bind through no fault of the west indies and paid for it
