Why Pakistan is best known as cornered tigers

This thread title has me thinking of Rob Sitch with a silly wig doing his "Like a Tiger..." routine.

Aussie fans of "The Late Show" might remember it.. :)

Sri Lankan flag and the ECB logo have lions, not tigers tbh.

Those statistics fail to take into account the effect of drug use and ball tampering on performance.
When has Waseem Akram, Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq ahmed ever been caught with drug use or tampering the ball?

Act of one individual doesn't make everyone cheat.People can point finger at Warne but noone can accuse McGrath of anything.


Comming back to original topic, Pak WERE termed as connered tigers for the way they played in '92 WC, but that term is not used any more. Right now they are just a mediocre team.

Sorry to bring logic or common sense to the argument but using the figures you quote, the answer is a resounding YES.

There are certainly better teams at defending 200.

Wasim Akram (Pak) 1984-2003 53 games 15 victories. Winning %age= 28%

Waqar Younis (Pak) 38 games 12 wins. Winning %age= 32%

SM Pollock (Afr/ICC/SA) 21 games 9 wins. Winning %age= 43%

Shahid Afridi (Asia/ICC/Pak) 22 games 8 wins. Winning %age= 36%

JH Kallis (Afr/ICC/SA) 15 games 7 wins. Winning %age= 47%

L Klusener (SA) 1996-2004 13 games 7 wins. Winning %age= 54%

Mushtaq Ahmed (Pak) 22 games 7 wins. Winning %age= 32%

Saqlain Mushtaq (Pak) 16 games 6 win. Winning %age= 38%

Fair to say, using your own figures, that South Africa are far superior.
How come SA is uperior? if you add up all the South Africans it comes upto cumalitive144% and if you add up all the Pakistanis in that list it comes up to 166%.

from your calc, you can say that Polluck is better than Wasim or Waqar when defending under 200, however if you take how the teams performed, Pakistan is better
