Trademark test match of your team

Pick a test match that summarizes your team's performance at the test level in the last few decades

Here is my pick for Pakistan


http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/63597.html

- Greatest batsman in the history of PAK cricket being the top scorer in the 1st innings.
- 13 out of the 20 wickets being bowled or LBW
- 2 Ws destroying yet another team.
- Inzi playing a clutch innings taking the team from 39-5 to 174.

England- Edgbaston 2005, or Adelaide 2006. A test match involving England is nearly always a journey of despair and triumph, and then sometimes despair again.

We are beatable but you need a "superhuman" effort to do it

Laxman and Dravid
Lara
Flintoff
Agarkar (FFS)
Butcher
Nasser

Don't relax when Gilly has a bat in hands

Perth Ashes
Hobart vs Pakistan
The Fastest 200 (at the time) in Sth Africa
most times he gets more than 20

Never out of it

Hobart vs Pakistan
Adelaide Ashes

We hate chasing low totals and/or batting on dodgy tracks

Mumbai
Sydney vs Fanie

I was very sad after that game
....but at the end its no shame losing to Gilly.

Would that be his superhuman effort to bowl first in Brisbane against all odds and predictions? If you're talking about Edgbaston 1997, then I think you'll find that apart from Nasser, Caddick, Gough, Thorpe, and even Mark Ealham all contributed greatly to that win.

Funny that an England team of the mid to late 90's managed to give Australia their most comprehensive test thrashing of the last 15 years.

"Superhuman" by Nass in that it was 100+ better than any other score he ever got against Oz ...Thorpe probably should have been added ...Caddick & Gough regularly put in similar efforts vs Oz...53 and 3 sorbent wickets probably counts as Superhuman for Ealham

53 and 3 sorbent wickets probably counts as Superhuman for Ealham

These days it's a superhuman effort for him to squeeze through doorways.

PAK managed to lose a test match by an innings to team that had only just started playing test cricket

They came back to win the series but still a very embarrassing defeat.



This was even more embarrassing because this was the first time since 1980 they lost a series at home
