Did Marshall and McGrath have it easier?

(2011 vs India is debatable but SA didn't even try to push for victory in the last day).

This is a series that both sides probably felt they should've won. Both captains kinda chickened out towards the end of that game.

Yes defensive Dhoni again failing to capitalize when the opposition is down.

Probably because of pitches in Pakistan.

Tou started a thread based off a promise which was proven to be wrong, yet still found a way to find an excuse.

Why is it wrong? Scoreboard pressure exists.

And unless I read it wrong, didn't Pakistan outscore the west Indies?

So didn't it exist for Pakistan as well?

Sure I am saying that the likely reason is difference of pitches.

But it doesn't matter why.

They too had score board pressure

I think it does matter. A 300 in WI in the 80s isn't the same as in Pakistan.

So first it was about the runs, now it depends where it was.

I keep telling you that the WI batting in the 80's wasn't quite what you believe it to be.

There were batches where Logie and Harper played together and Dujon batting at 6.

But appreciate your shifting goal posts.

I know it's hard for you to keep up, but it's the same fundamental point. I even stated it earlier in the thread that it's context relevant.

That was a lower scoring era tho so a 350 in the 80s may be a 400-450 in the 2000s.

So Pakistan also benefitted from scoreboard pressure then?

In Pakistan likely. Not abroad. We also have to remember most games were drawn there as pitches were often dead.
