Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

With today’s win, Pakistan has improved their own record of most consecutive ODI wins. It now stands at 11 wins in the last 11 matches.
Eventhough, out of 11 matches, 5 wins came against Bangladesh and 5 against Zimbabwe (1 was against India), a Record is a Record and a cup-of-tea is a cup-of-tea :)
Pakistan’s previous record was of 10 consecutive ODI wins which was made 18 years ago in 1990 when Pakistan won 4 consecutive ODI against New Zealand, 3 vs West Indiaes, 1 vs Australia, 1 vs India and 1 vs Sri Lanka.
@ Expat…
and ofcourse you have unshakeable evidence of Asif Iqbal’s betting right?
such tosh!
A great achievment! not to belittle on any count. It does matter to consider who were the opponants one scores against but the record books will always place him under all time greats. For example, Sachin Tendulkar, another great batsman, can he be called any less than Gavaskar or Richards despite he is known to be less or no contributor to India’s winnings? His most centuries have gone wasted and never called to be a match winner! Indians place him alongside the greatest of all, Don Bradman, right or wrong does not matter. On the other hand our own Inzi had a reputation of a match winner, almost all his centuries contributed to Pakistan’s victories.
I Wish Yousuf greater successes in future. By the way, has anyone noticed, his color got fairer eversince he converted to Islam!
Would have been nicer if you had used his more recent pic…anyways, thanks for the info.
