Pakistan’s long tour to England and Wales is about to get
started, therefore I thought why not looking into the history books and stats
to look into; this is what I found on the internet

Statistics correct till the
time of Pakistan v Sri Lanka series in UAE 2017-18
Based on these statistics, I clearly see a difference in
Pakistan’s slump in test cricket is not only dependent on the performance but
the mindset because the highlighted ones are the most/least performed against
the particular team(s) which you can also see are New Zealand and Bangladesh
respectively but drawn test matches mean Pakistan might have played negative cricket
as well, because if we add up the Lost games with Drawn games, statistics in
the Win percentage will downgrade to that extend that is surely going to
degrade the statistics in test matches for Pakistan, because if we look into
statistics against Australia or South Africa, you might have noted that matches
lost against them are more than matches drawn against them, this is something
we lack against quality teams.
Two test match series against England
Pakistan current team lacks lure which was part of them last
year, therefore I am not putting them (the Pakistan team) aside but the fact is
it is going to be the real test for our boys, therefore guys should take the
tour as learning curve instead of putting performance pressure on them of
performing in these conditions, Champions Trophy was last year but that was ICC’s
tournament, this is ECB’s therefore boys should remember this thing as well.
