Pak tri series win in NZ v Ind's Nidahas

[zen]

Both timepass series with not much value  ... Both involving BD, the home team (NZ/SL), and Ind/Pak. 

 

Which team's series win do you rate higher? 

 

 

I guess, the tri-series win will give Pak's confidence for the WC; while Nidahas did nothing much for Ind.

Bangladesh gave us the legendary Naagin dance and then the ultra legendary Banglawash in these series'.. 

 

 

They win at life.

Another tri series I remember (Pak/Zim/Aus).... Fakhar Zaman won Poyzz the final vs Aus B side.

Tri series are only entertaining when all 3 teams are somewhat equally matched (for eg those CB tri series we used to play with Australia and Sri Lanka). 

 

This current series was just q de facto 3 match T20 series between pak and NZ considering the fact that Bangladesh are downright horrible outside Asia. 

 

Nidahas was much closely fought (thanks to us playing a B team) and Bangladesh being a decent side in Asia and Sri Lanka playing on home soil.

Nidahas was epic...  India had a C team...  SL beat us in first game...  BD's highest chase in Asia vs SL... 

India winning all games...  The epic Naagin match & then the Final drama... 

Gold standard series. 

[the don]

Kitply cup was the best.

younis and butt smashing piuush chawla and the cult hero Rao iftikhar leading the pak attack to a win.

The Nidahas trophy will still be remembered after 1000 years. It will outlive both cricket & Pakistan.

It satisfied two countries not one country lol Those two overs of youtube video  made Srilankan cricket board very rich. Still the no.1 and no.2 cricket video of all time. Not even remotely comparable. That stuff will live for ages.

Tri series lol , it is not a tri-series, a bilateral. Which pak won 2-1.

Very entertaining. Albeit with second rung Indian cricketers so not very compelling but very keenly fought.

I watched this series. I have never seen such a boring T20 batting before i am talking about Pakistan batting. Atrocious. NZ for some weird reason played Adam Milne only against BD who was bringing on heat. 4-0-24-3 vs BD. Next match he didn't play. Tickner played final who is not even part of the squad. It seems like a deliberate tactic.

Lol @OP 

 

even putting this Banglawash tri series in the same sentence as Nidahas should be a crime

 

unless that sentence is “Banglawash tri series can never come even 5% close to the Nidahas series in terms of entertainment value “

 

The entertainment value of Nidhahas was off the charts. As others have mentioned India sending a weak C team was a great leveller for the series and made it evenly contested. On the other hand we have Pak playing their near-full strength team in a dead rubber in the Banglawash series (that too against BD) 

 

the Nidahas also gave us a new rivalry in cricket - SL vs BD. Heck the impact of Nidahas was such that even Daniel Alexander tweeted to congratulate India on the series victory

But this topic is about the rating a series based on importance from the winner’s perspective (the positives for the team) not necessarily the entertainment value x or y received watching it (Pakistanis would have enjoyed their young bowlers performances too who helped them win a tri-series in SENA. If there were no WC, this series would have got more attention) and where SL-BD rivalry for e.g. is their business, it does not involve India. 
 

Anyways, was good to know how much you enjoyed that series.

This NZ series was a sham. They left out guys like Santner and Adam Milne for the final lol.  Boult and Southee were bowling at 120 kph with no real intensity.   Kane williamson's obviously stupid move of using Sodhi was also more experimental. From an intensity standpoint this series is not even 5% close to that series.

Let’s see

 

Nzl in Nzl with a B team > SL in SL with an A team

 

Bang in sc conditons >>> Bang in Nzl conditons 

 

India with a C team with bowling line up of Unadkut, Vijay Shankar, Thakur and a very raw Siraj didn’t drop a game = Pak A team with full line up (minus SSA) which still lost a game to Nzl

 

Final over of Nidihaas viewership >>> 95% of cricket videos on YouTube (I would say 100% but I am sure something has overtaken it since)

 

Rest I leave for the geniuses to figure out :)

The funny thing is i pretty much watched all the matches of NZ series completely expecting some fire works. I seriously regret watching sleep inducing Pakistan batting. It was like watching 10 vijay shankars batting.
