1995 Australia vs Pakistan TEST SERIES REVIEW

[@mansoorahmad1661]

Most series between Australia and Pakistan are great examples of the fact that Mental strength in cricket is a bigger factor than talent. So many matches between the two teams can be recalled where Pakistanis could have won but they did not have the confidence to persist with the advantage in hand and Australia were able to turn the tables because they were mentally stronger side.

[@aarifboy]

+Mansoor Ahmad Aussie wins were due to miserable wicket keepers of Pakistan like Moin and Kamran, not due to their mental toughness.

[@sainandanify]

That, and Pakistan's ever unreliable batting.

[@TheMaverickanupam]

You are right, after Pak's defeat in Hobart in 1999 from the brink of victory, Australia became invincible and their juggernaut started in which they crushed all opposition. Who knows how dominant would Australia have been had Langer been given out caught behind off Akram. Not to take anything away from his and Gilly's effort, but that decision single-handedly changed the outcome of an era. Next test in Perth would have been a different ball game, with Ponting under a lot of pressure after his string of failures, Shoaib at his peak and series square at one all. We will never know.

[@Cchannel053]

Thats the reality. How can we overcome at this problem? Hardest thing for us has been to win a Test match on Ausi Soil

@@TheMaverickanupam simply amazing analysis!

[@BongSau83]

Mushtaq Ahmeds wrongun was pretty bloody special. I remember him being an exceptional bowler at this point in his career. He seemed to very quickly fade away which is a shame.

[@techBuffy]

I thin it was the emergence of Saqlain plus his dipping form which contributed to his downfall. If he still was the first choice spinner, then maybe despite poor form, he would have continued and got the time to come back on top again

[@thewatchmaker_7061]

Mushtaq Ahmed was also a fixer. Thanks God his career faded.

[@Ron-pm3qk]

His pace dropped ended up becoming a floaty bowler which is OK in county cricket but not at test level.

[@TheAusJT]

This was Australia's first test series after their triumph in the West Indies earlier that year where they dethroned them from the #1 world ranking. Also, I have fond memories of this series vs Pakistanm as I can proudly say it was the first I ever watched as a supporter of the great game of cricket as an 8 yr old. The highlight for me was that ball Warne bowled to Basit Ali off the last ball of the day at the SCG. Definitely one of Warne's top 10 deliveries throughout his career.

[@Doccaau]

Use to love watching Mushy and Warnie bowl in pyjama cricket around this era. And great use of the hook Rob on the "comic relief"

[@Thegamer89Bond]

That was an amazing Test Series between those two teams :)

[@MuhammadWaqas-kv2me]

Very good series if pak batsman performed little well in the 2nd test they can win the series also.

[@anwarahmed7123]

Great to watch Warne V Mushtaq against each other

[@ahmadayazbajwa7963]

Most of the time Australia win against Pakistan in Australia thanks to the very bad umpiring

[@suryanarayanapappu9627]

What a series review..superb stuff!!!! I remember Benaud's commentary on the Basit Ali dismissal ,fantastic Mr Moody!!

[@abdullahazimshah9220]

Can't believe Pakistan still managed to win the 3rd test in this series. Keeping in mind the infamous whole match fixing saga happened back in 1994 and with all the revolts and infightings in the team

[@gowherkhan4723]

Pakistan misses Saeed Anwar regarding this match

[@ahmedfaisal9597]

The only thing i remember that, basit ali bowled by S. warne , that time i was b/com student. and a huge fan of his batting.

[@terrydoneman159]

Hahaha was in my second year at university and we ran into both teams at a place called "some place else". Basfil ali. moin kahn and another player came out with us, got into every nightclub for free and drank free, avoided lines etc. I believe we dropped them off at thier accommodation around 3.30am! They had to play in a few hours!

[@mrkipling2201]

No wonder they lost!!

[@muhammadomarkhayyamkhan3593]

Australia was superpower despite Akram and Waqar the wagah brothers were playing very good. Pakistan has Issues in bating , After the retirement of leagendery javaid Mindad no one was able to stay on the wicket and Pakistan keep loosing series despite the fact that team was am10 time more stronger than the team of imran Era but baiting was not there.

[@techBuffy]

How can a team having Anwar, Sohail, Ijaz, Inzamam, Malik be considered weaker than one in 80s? Some of these players averaged in high 40s and Inzi nearly 50. They didnt score away from home was a separate matter

[@MuhammadAhmed-yy9es]

After 1996 World Cup, Pakistan became the best ODI side (with SA), by introducing 4 young match winners, Saqlain Mushtaq, Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar and Abdul Razzaq.

[@arunsenapati7931]

Saqlain was already introduced by the autumn of 1995 against SL at home.

[@MuhammadAhmed-yy9es]

@@arunsenapati7931 Yes of course !!..... But after WC 1996, Saqlain officially became permanent part of playing 11.

[@arunsenapati7931]

@@MuhammadAhmed-yy9es Right.

[@techBuffy]

SAF had a win percentage of 80+ after 1995. PAK had less than 65. Australia had around 75. SRL had around 65. India 50. So Pak were about 4th.

[@intelligentdude4575]

@@techBuffy but Pakistan used to beat India regularly, and Pakistan won 1997 tri series in Australia

[@sibghatmansoor5125]

Historically problem has been with Pakistan batsmen not willing to fight for their wicket.

[@zibtihaj3213]

I have seen him do it in the very first over of a match - both him and Wasim used to swing it miles even with new ball, on dead pitches in 100 degree heat in the very first over....in fact even Boycott pointed that out.

[@kamrankhan-lj1ng]

When?

[@obaidkhan7040]

that was the last test match pakistan won against australia in australia, its been 28 years and still searching and counting
