Long intervals between head-to-head Test wins

Long intervals between head-to-head Test wins

Post by Aslam Siddiqu » Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:26:43


In answer to an email suggestion, here is a list of countries whose
consecutive Test wins against another particular country came after an
interval of at least 10 years. The last day of the last win and the
1st day of the start of the next Test resulting in the win are given.
The South African period of isolation is excluded. The sides without
wins are listed first. The results (wins-losses-draws) are at the end
of lines.

Qualification - the sides played each more than 5 times during the
period.

Should be 15y.

If you also consider runs from the first Test against an opponent to the
first win against them, then NX v England would come high on the list.
